Unexpected downtime and inefficient maintenance are a major challenge in industrial processes. PIA-Link® from KROHNE offers an innovative solution for remote monitoring, commissioning and verification of measuring equipment, without the need for a technician to come on site.
Using HART and HART-IP protocols, a secure VPN connection and PACTware, PIA-Link® offers reliable and efficient remote maintenance. Problems are detected early, downtime is avoided and operational costs are significantly reduced.
How it works.
✔ Secure connection – Only accessible with approval and a physical key.
✔ Real-time data transfer – Measurement data via a HART-IP tunnel and 4G internet.
✔ Remote collaboration – Different stakeholders can watch and intervene live.
✔ Instant verification and service – After the intervention, the connection is securely closed.
Advantages of PIA-Link®
✔ Preventive problem detection – Prevents downtime and increases efficiency.
✔ Remote maintenance – Lower costs, faster interventions.
✔ High safety and compliance standards – Ideal for industries with strict safety standards, such as chemical plants.
✔ Sustainable – Fewer trips, lower CO₂ emissions.
✔ Mandatory remote verifications – Quality checks and ISO-related inspections without process interruption.
