FOCUS-ON VoF

Join our upcoming FOCUS-ON Live Demo! See how process plants like ArcelorMittal are simplifying their control loops with the FOCUS-1, the one smart meter valve. In this live demo, @ George Borst will demonstrate: - How FOCUS-1 helps reduce downtime and maintenance efforts in your plant - How real-time data improves process reliability - What “From noise to knowledge” means in practice 📅 Date: 3rd December 🕒 Time: 10AM (CET) or 1PM (GST) 💻 Location: Online 👉 Register here: https://process.fon-p.com/ Hope to see you there!

More alarms don’t mean more control. I’ve seen operator screens bombarded by alarms they can’t act on, while the real problem slips through unnoticed. A plant in Netherlands decided to move to a profibus system so that they could monitor everything. After starting up in the first 2 weeks they turned of every alarm because it was to much... Alarm overload you could easily say. That’s why smart diagnostics matter but more important... understanding the problem! Thats why we decided to explain the alarm. Making it possible for you to plan the solution: "If this happens, I do that." Even better? You can predict when something is about to fail. Before the alarms even start. So you move from complexity to simplicity. Less steps needed to solve the problem. Control is about clarity, not chaos.

Can our PID controller manage both flow and pressure at the same time? Yes, in certain situations we’ve already done this. For example, a customer wanted to fill a water buffer tank, but without disturbing the pressure in the surrounding network when demand was high. If the buffer filled up whenever there was a lot of water use in the neighborhood, it would reduce the available pressure in the system. To solve this, we configured the controller so that buffer filling was limited whenever network demand was high. This way, the tank could be filled without negatively affecting pressure stability. These kinds of combined flow and pressure controls are special cases, but they show what’s possible for customers who want to go a step further. If you’re interested, get in touch with us, we’ll help engineer and adapt the solution for your application. FOCUS-1 is more than just a valve… it’s a smart control solution with powerful software behind it.

A century ago, they learned to fly. Today, we learn to believe, in technology, in progress, and in new innovations. In 1903 two brothers stood on a windy hill in North Carolina with an idea the world laughed at. Humans… flying? Impossible! Dangerous! Ridiculous! But the Wright brothers didn’t listen. They failed. Rebuilt. Tried again. And after countless attempts, they finally took off; for just 12 seconds. Twelve seconds that changed the course of humanity. Why? Because they believed in it. Today, we board airplanes without even thinking about it. What was once a dream, or even a fear, has become an essential part of our lives. In 2 weeks, I’ll step on a plane to Abu Dhabi, a city that, only twenty years ago (second pictures), was mostly sand and ambition. And yet, through vision, courage, and persistence, it transformed into one of the world’s most vibrant innovation hubs. In the first week of November, during ADIPEC 2025, we’ll display our bold idea, which we brought to life: FOCUS-1, The world’s first smart meter valve A new product. In a demanding market. And like the first flight, and developing a major city, it will take time, patience, but above all belief. Progress always starts this way, with people who dare to believe that “impossible” is just the beginning. And I believe in new innovations, new ways of thinking and simply doing things different. Not because it’s easy, but because I’ve seen what belief can build. And now it’s time for all of us to believe. Please come to visit me at the ADIPEC 2025. I am very curious to hear and understand what you drives every day and what you believe in! #ADIPEC2025 #Innovation #Digitalization #Leadership #AbuDhabi

There was a time when transportation meant horse and carriage. It worked, but it was slow, limited, and labor-intensive. Then cars came along and transformed everything: faster, more reliable, and built for the future. Process control is experiencing the same shift. Traditional loops depend on multiple separate components — valves, sensors, controllers — each adding complexity, cost, and downtime risk. FOCUS-1 is the modern alternative. It combines valve, flow, pressure, and temperature measurement with built-in intelligence, all in one compact device. With FOCUS-1 you get: ✔ Simpler installation and faster commissioning ✔ Fewer components and fewer points of failure ✔ Real-time insights and predictive diagnostics ✔ Continuous, reliable operation backed by SAMSON and KROHNE Just like cars replaced carriages, FOCUS-1 replaces outdated control loops. 👉 Learn how FOCUS-1 brings your plant into the future.
