What is SAM Valve Management?

Control valve diagnostics in the cloud

SAM Valve Management provides an overview of all connected valves fitted with smart SAMSON positioners – in a clearly structured dashboard with every relevant operating and diagnostic parameter. The application evaluates the available data based on an extensive range of algorithms, detects malfunctions immediately and provides recommendations for action as illustrated step-by-step instructions. This lets you identify imminent faults and maintenance needs early and increase the availability of your control valves.
