New functionalities AML for LNG custody transfer measurement
Hint’s AML is a toolbox for technicians, engineers, operators, and managers to automate and optimize the workflows, improve trust in devices and save maintenance costs through data-driven decision making. Every client and project is different. Therefore, our goal is to meet all customer requirements. So we designed a ‘standard’ software tool with the possibility to […]
Data is the new oil: reducing costs with predictive maintenance
Boost availability and reduce maintenance costs with field instrumentation data The oil & gas industry operates in tough environments with challenging KPIs and costly maintenance when things go wrong. Plant managers and engineers facing increasing complexity in their systems and constant pressure to reduce operating costs, improve reliability (uptime) and increase process efficiency. You need […]
Sensor Data Quality – Better Efficiency in Maintenance
The method of how sensors are being monitored is changing within the oil and gas and petrochemical industry. The number of sensors is increasing while the number of subject matter experts (SME) is decreasing. To tackle this phenomenon the industry needs to become more efficient. The way sensors are being analyzed is moving from sensor […]
Energy Transition goals are not simple to meet
The Energy transition is inevitable. The emissions of greenhouse gases keep on rising, even though the effects of global warming are evident and the Paris agreement urged to reduce the emissions. If we, which means everybody, do not contribute to the reduction, already in the short term, environmental problems will be severe. It is important […]
