Latest SmartSignal condition monitoring technology to further enhance Invensys' asset performance solutions; Invensys becomes premier SmartSignal services partner
FOXBORO, MASSACHUSETTS, USA - August 23, 2005 - Invensys Process Systems and SmartSignal Corporation today announced that the two companies have signed an expanded strategic resale and services partnership agreement. The agreement enables Invensys to fully employ SmartSignal's EPI*Center technology as an integral part of the company's comprehensive real-time condition-based asset performance solutions. The agreement also recognizes Invensys as an authorized Premier Services Provider for SmartSignal.
The original partnership agreement between Invensys and SmartSignal dates back to 2001 and serves as a successful model for how two companies can work together to help customers improve the performance of their industrial assets.
"Invensys' Condition Monitoring solution not only collects and aggregates real-time data from plant floor systems, but also provides sophisticated analysis tools and workflow guidance to drive preventive and predictive maintenance, operations, and engineering activities," said Neil Cooper, general manager of the Avantis unit of Invensys Process Systems. "This enables plant personnel to work smarter and more productively while contributing to the improved overall asset performance of their plants and their businesses. SmartSignal technology plays a key role by expanding our condition monitoring offering to include empirical modeling for heavy rotating and non-rotating equipment, often the most critical assets in terms of overall performance."
"The combination of Invensys' process control, simulation, and asset management capabilities with our real-time equipment monitoring technology provides huge benefits for our mutual customers, "said Steve Tonissen, vice president of marketing at SmartSignal. "We're pleased that Invensys recognizes the value of our technology and equally pleased to add Invensys to the select list of SmartSignal Premier Service Providers."
