Optimize proof testing with smart technologies and services for sustained safety and availability
Proof testing Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) has become a key challenge for the worldwide chemical industry. Such systems are increasingly commonplace for compliance or performance purposes and require regular testing to ensure alignment to standards and processes. Faced with tough competition and reduced margins, the problem for plant operators becomes how to optimize testing methods to ensure costly downtime is minimized, and to do so with the benefit of full, in-depth diagnostic coverage.

How we can help
Endress+Hauser offers intelligent Heartbeat Technology to ensure optimal SIS proof testing, as well as rigorous SIS proof testing services, enabling sustained plant safety with minimal process interruption for the chemical industry:
Permanent process and device diagnostics with a diagnostic coverage of up to 98%
Standardized diagnostic messages with precise instructions
Verification without process interruption via the push of a button
Automatically generated and unambiguous verification protocols
Safety Integrity Level (SIL) verification through a wizard-assisted proof test procedure that unveils dangerous undetected failures
Applications
Process and device diagnostics
Undetected instrument failures can increase the probability of an outage in a Safety Instrumented System. Reliable and accurate sensor diagnostics are required to ensure safety and avoid downtime.
Our expertise in the field
Endress+Hauser Heartbeat self-diagnostic sensor technology facilitates timely and accurate diagnosis of instrument faults. Our smart instruments carry out more than 80 internal diagnostic measures in the background, including in-depth diagnostic coverage of up to 98%. Results can be conveniently monitored via our Netilion Health app, which provides transparent and standardized diagnostic messages for simplified intervention.
Ensure safe processes with minimal process interruption
Drive cost-effective maintenance through smart data and diagnostics
Enable targeted, timely and cost-effective maintenance interventions
Verification of instruments is a critical activity for ensuring that the installed base is running correctly, however it must be conducted with minimal interruption to processes.
Our expertise in the field
Endress+Hauser Heartbeat Technology enables instrument verification to be triggered at any time. The automatically generated verification protocol provides precise results, and the evidence required by safety regulations. We also offer a wizard-guided procedure for SIL proof tests, guiding you step by step through the test.
Extract documented and unambiguous verification results
Reduce verification effort during planned shutdown periods
Regular proof testing is required to ensure ongoing process safety however it decreases system availability.
Our expertise in the field
Powered by Heartbeat Technology, Endress+Hauser instrumentation provides detailed instrument and process data enabling the detection of trends, and by extension predictive maintenance interventions.
