PET system by AdvantaPure
AdvantaPure has launched a Process Equipment Tracking (PET) system. The system will perform identification and tracking functions to monitor process equipment like pumps, hoses, bio-bags, filters, diaphragm valves, etc. Industries that use such equipment include chemical, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, etc.
PET uses RFID and will enable the monitoring of process-critical components to ensure their safety, regular maintenance, and replacement. Using RFID technology, PET assists with the monitoring of equipment. Usage and cleaning cycles can be tracked to ensure timely maintenance and replacement before parts begin to fail, risk product integrity, and waste time and labor.
PET offers a logical, safety-conscious approach to reduce product risk and monitor all critical process components. The RFID tags can be attached to the equipment by using a molded pouch, a silicone fusible tape, laminations, etc. ccmsectorinvest.com reports:
Other benefits that PET offers over log books include back up of data, easier audit trail construction, password security, data access from networked computers, and the ability to sort, compare, and analyze information in different ways to determine the safe and proper useful life of process equipment.
