Customer situation and challenges:Already deployed with HART communication technology through which huge amount of data of valve status and its performance is available, Sinopec Qingdao still faced the lacking use of these data, hence a holistic intelligent valve monitoring system is urgently needed to make full use of that to implement efficient monitoring and diagnostics. 

• Too much manpower in valve checking and maintenance. 
• Little transparency in overall valve management.

Customer objectives: 

• Appropriate and practical valve maintenance plans based on data rather than workers' experience. 
• Improvement in run-up and run-down times. 
• Reduction in maintenance costs. 
• Ensure higher security via more accurate valve controlling

• The valve status monitoring APP provided by Siemens for Sinopec Qingdao has been applied in its intelligent refinery plant, functioning as a digital solution with centralized monitoring of equipment health, warning and alarm management, failure analysis and prediction, and maintenance plan recommendations.
• SIPART PS2
