SAMSON, a valve engineering, and process automation specialist, is focusing on products to improve the safety and reliability of process plants as well as topics for the future, such as sustainability and the energy transition. Over the past few years, SAMSON has expanded its product portfolio, driving its evolution from a valve manufacturer into a process automation specialist for smart valves and digital solutions. SAMSON succeeded in expanding its valve engineering capabilities to include plant equipment and overall plant operations thanks to its diverse range of products and services as well as the application expertise available within the group.
To a large extent, the safety and reliability of process plants depend on successful maintenance strategies as well as the quality of the installed machinery and components. Back in the early 2000s, SAMSON developed the EXPERTplus valve diagnostics integrated into positioners as part of the shift away from reactive towards software-based preventive asset management. SAMSON’s solutions are based on advanced algorithms, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. They draw on historical plant data and plant operator know-how to implement preventive and predictive plant maintenance strategies. Such digital solutions include the SAM DIGITAL product line and FOCUS-1, the world’s first smart process node jointly developed by Krohne and SAMSON.
