Extension of product lifetime through electronics upgrade
3 ways how KROHNE can help to extent the service life of devices
More and more electromagnetic and ultrasonic flowmeters are being discontinued and spare parts and support are no longer available. The malfunction of the electronics causes unwanted downtime, with significant consequences for your process and plant safety. With KROHNE converters, existing electromagnetic flowmeters can be retrofitted with new electronics quickly, easily and cost-effectively.
Why is this important?
Quick and easy upgrade, without dismounting your existing sensor
Saving of investment and installation costs for a completely new meter
Additional communication and diagnostic capabilities
Additional temperature and conductivity measurement
With KROHNE converters, you are opting for a quick changeover to a converter that will accompany you for many years to come – always with the option of upgrading to other communication protocols at short notice and without complications.
KROHNE service engineers will check the compatibility of the used sensor and the installation situation in advance and will support you in commissioning and start-up of the new converter.
How this KROHNE service contributes to sustainability?
By upgrading a converter, you can make a significant contribution to a sustainable approach to emissions:
Sustain components: Instead of scrapping perfectly functioning sensors, lifetime and usage of the devices can be extended.
Save resources: Reusing existing sensors saves raw materials and the energy required to produce new components.
Increased efficiency: Modern converters are designed to be more efficient, reducing energy losses during conversion processes. This means less energy is wasted, leading to lower overall energy consumption and consequently lower emissions.
Reduced maintenance: Modern converters often require less maintenance and have longer operating times. This reduces the environmental impact associated with manufacturing, transporting, and disposing of older, less efficient models.
Installed base audit and data analysis
KROHNE offers an installed base audit to define priorities and needs for dedicated hardware to be supported to enable a safe and smooth replacement of unavailable converters.
Lifetime evaluation
Based on the audit, KROHNE provides a database of product and spare part availability. Meters that need to be updated or upgraded in terms of functionality, communication or diagnostic features are defined.
Update & upgrade services
To ensure the highest level of performance, the KROHNE service will support you throughout the entire process from selection, specification, procurement, installation, start-up and commissioning.
