PROFINET Site Audits

 

PROFINET Network failures often lead to production loss as a result of unplanned downtime whether this is due to incorrect installation practices, interference, faulty devices or network timing parameters. 

So how can you guarantee that your contractors have done a good job? Make the contract subject to a Certification Inspection by a Certified PROFINETS Engineer through a PROFINET International Competence Centre (PICC)! 

Our IDX Academy is a Certified PROFINET International Training (PITC) and PROFINET International Competence Centre (PICC). Over 10 years old and still the only one in Africa!

 

Why conduct an audit?

 

A comprehensive network audit will give insight into any problem areas within your PROFINET network. A scheduled network audit is an extremely effective way to be proactive and identify and prevent faults before they occur, ultimately preventing losses as a result of downtime.

 

Benefits of completing an audit

 

  • Reduction in downtime and the associated lost production and costs

  • Detailed information about network interference, risks, and corrective actions

  • A detailed report issued with specific recommendations

  • Proactive approach ensuring your network remains in its healthiest state

  • Ensuring contractor installations meets PROFINET international guideline

 

How often should an audit be conducted?

 

We recommend that an annual audit is conducted on each of your PROFINET networks. Also, any planned network changes (expansion, reduction, re-routing) should be subjected to an audit being conducted before and after any changes to ensure that the health of your PROFINET network is not compromised in any way.

 

The PICC (PROFINET International Competence Centre) falls under the ;IDX Academy. The ;IDX Academy offers the following services in-line with the maintenance and adoption of PROFINET on the African continent:

 

• Certified technical training • Email, telephonic and web support • Network audits and troubleshooting services
