What KPIs Matter Most When Using Bently Nevada with PLCs or DCS Systems

Introduction to KPI Importance

Industrial plants require clear metrics to improve uptime. Bently Nevada integration with PLCs and DCS delivers vital data. Engineers need these KPIs for proactive maintenance. In fact, 92% of top plants saw efficiency gains after KPI adoption.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

OEE combines availability, performance, and quality. Targeting 85% drives world‑class operations. Plants meeting this cut losses by $1.2M each year.

Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)

MTBF tracks average runtime before failure. Scheduling maintenance when MTBF rose from 2,000 to 5,000 hours reduced shutdowns by 60%.

Vibration Severity Index (VSI)

VSI measures real‑time vibration. Alerts fire when exceeding 4.0 mm/s. Early detection cut bearing replacements by 45%.

Alarm Response Time (ART)

ART tracks operator reaction speed. A benchmark under 2 minutes lowers damage risk. Faster ART dropped incident costs by 30%.

Asset Utilization Rate (AUR)

AUR shows productive runtime percentage. Plants maintaining above 75% saw capacity grow by 12%.

Data Transparency & ROI

Central dashboards unite KPIs. One refinery logged $2.4M ROI in 12 months. Executive buy‑in accelerated expansion plans.

Conclusion & Next Steps

These KPIs empower smarter maintenance and cost control. Integrate Bently Nevada with PLCs or DCS now. Pilot projects confirm these gains rapidly.
