System Health Check

The System Health Check provides a structured and holistic review of the complete ClampOn system, covering installation, hardware, software, configuration, and data quality.

The assessment includes:

• Verification of sensor installation location to confirm correct positioning relative to flow conditions and measurement objectives
• Functional checks of sensors to ensure correct operation and signal response
• Evaluation of configuration and parameter settings against current operating conditions

This ensures that both physical installation and system behavior are aligned with best practices and application requirements.

Over time, operating conditions, production strategies, and field layouts evolve. As part of the System Health Check, ClampOn engineers assess whether the original system design remains optimal for current conditions.

This includes:

• Review of overall system design and architecture
• Identification of design limitations or constraints
• Recommendations for design changes, upgrades, or extensions where applicable

This ensures that the monitoring solution continues to deliver the required performance throughout the system lifecycle.

System performance depends on up‑to‑date software and correct configuration. The System Health Check includes a review of software and firmware status to ensure compatibility, stability, and access to the latest improvements.

Activities may include:

• Software updates or sensor firmware upgrades where necessary
• Verification of configuration consistency across system components
• Identification of configuration drift or legacy settings

This helps maintain system reliability and long‑term supportability.

For sand monitoring applications, correct quantification and alarm settings are critical. The System Health Check includes a detailed review of calculation and alarm parameters to ensure accuracy and operational relevance.

This includes:

• Verification of calculation settings for sand monitoring quantification
• Review of alarm thresholds and limits
• Validation of alarm settings against historical data and customer input
• Recommendations for adjustments to reflect current well behavior and risk tolerance

This ensures that alarms remain meaningful, actionable, and aligned with operational reality.

Measurement systems can degrade gradually due to changes in process conditions, environmental exposure, or component aging. The System Health Check focuses on identifying early indicators of such degradation before they escalate into failures or misleading data.

Early detection allows operators to:

• Avoid unplanned downtime
• Reduce the risk of incorrect operational decisions
• Plan corrective actions proactively rather than reactively

This shifts system management from firefighting to prevention.

System Health Checks can be performed remotely or onsite, depending on system accessibility, criticality, and findings.

Remote checks typically include:

• Review of live and historical measurement data
• Diagnostics, configuration, and performance analysis

Onsite checks may include:

• Physical inspection of sensors, cabling, and mounting
• Verification of installation condition and functionality
• Confirmation of corrective actions or upgrades

This flexible execution model ensures the appropriate level of assessment for each situation.

Following the System Health Check, operators receive a clear summary of findings and prioritized recommendations focused on practical improvements.

Deliverables typically include:

• Summary of system condition and performance status
• Identified risks and potential consequences
• Recommended corrective actions, upgrades, or optimizations
• Suggestions for follow‑up services or long‑term support

All recommendations are explained in operational terms to support informed decision‑making.

System Health Checks can be ordered as a standalone service or integrated into broader ClampOn service programs. This allows operators to tailor the level of oversight to their operational needs and risk profile.

For operators seeking continuous performance assurance, System Health Checks form a strong foundation for long‑term support and optimization services.
