Digital hydraulic concept reduces cost and increases reliability
By using digital hydraulics, fragile and expensive proportional valves are replaced with multiple inexpensive and robust on/off valves. The results include higher reliability, lower energy usage, more accuracy in machine movements, fewer shutdowns, less lost production and lower initial investment and spare parts carrying cost.

Intelligent solenoid valves: slash time and costs with knowledge
When a refinery in South America was approaching its scheduled three-year maintenance shutdown, it decided to take advantage of the information provided from its intelligent solenoid valves. Earlier, the refinery had decided to install these valves on every emergency shutdown (ESD) valve to identify degradation by using partial stroke testing (PST) for these critical valves.
