What is InnovativeField Organizer (IFO)?

InnovativeField Organizer (IFO) is a device management system. Using IFO, azbil DCS users can achieve dramatically more efficient instrument maintenance work.

IFO communicates with field devices using HART or FOUNDATION fieldbus, allowing it to provide solutions using diagnostic and maintenance information from intelligent devices.

Benefits

IFO provides solutions throughout the plant lifecycle.

More efficient checking and testing work before plant startup

IFO assists speedy plant startup by automating loop checks and CV step response tests.

Condition-based maintenance

IFO monitors the status of field devices 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
If any abnormality is detected, it alerts maintenance staff and operators so that they can take prompt action.
By allowing condition-based maintenance, IFO helps to prevent shutdowns caused by device abnormalities.

Minimization of disassembly inspection cost for control valves during SDM (Shutdown Maintenance)

Valve maintenance tends to be excessive, but maintenance costs can be minimized by determining which valves require disassembly inspection based on their level of deterioration.
