Solutions

n the day-to-day operation of your plant you have a long list of concerns, like

I meeting production schedules, maintaining product quality, and improving the

efficiency of plant utilities, to name just a few. The last thing you should have to worry

about is the performance of your plant’s control valves. The answer to that concern is

Emerson.

Emerson wants to be your partner.

With Emerson, you’ll have the support of a global company with extensive
international engineering, research, sales, marketing, manufacturing and service
operations. Which means you’ll have access to leading control valve and instrument
technologies that offer new levels of performance and reliability. Regardless of your
industry. And regardless of your location.

If you can’t count on your control valves, you can’t count on your process! That’s why
operations like yours have chosen Fisher® final control capabilities.

The Fisher digital valve (example shown left) provides you with real-time
predictive intelligence, not just numbers and graphs. So you will know
there’s a problem and can take action before your process is impacted!
The Fisher digital valve is a core component of Emerson’s PlantWeb®
digital plant architecture.

The PlantWeb digital plant architecture uses open communication standards to link
intelligent field devices (like the Fisher digital valve), automation systems, and
applications in a plantwide network. Operations can run production with greater
confidence in automation as they tune the process for optimal throughput, quality and
availability while reducing the overall cost of operations.

You

O
ne thing all control valve buyers have in common is a

desire to know as much as possible about their

prospective purchase and the company that manufactures it.

Fisher valve operations started in 1880 in Marshalltown,

Iowa, United States. Since then, Fisher valve operations have

grown to employ more than 3700 people worldwide. We’re

the largest control valve and regulator manufacturer in the

world.

Manufacturing
To meet local product and delivery needs, Fisher
manufacturing plants are located in each world area. Each manufacturing site is tied
directly to Fisher product design centers via the latest communication links, helping
ensure that manufacturing operations utilize the most up-to-date product information.
This means that each Fisher product meets design specifications and performs as
intended, regardless of where its individual or component parts were manufactured.

Application Assistance
Control valves are an investment, so you want to speak with someone one-on-one who
knows about you and your business. The Emerson sales network has extensive
application experience and can recommend the most suitable products for your
application. Because of the technical nature of the Fisher product line, most of the
Emerson network are graduate engineers with substantial factory training. At Emerson,
