In today’s fast-paced industrial landscape, precision, reliability, and efficiency are no longer optional—they’re essential. At Heap & Partners, we understand that our customers need intelligent solutions that do more than just function. That’s why we are proud to supply Fisher Positioners, the industry-leading smart valve controllers designed by Emerson for the future of process automation.
Fisher Positioner Innovation: Smarter Valve Control Starts Here
As the authorised UK distributor for Fisher Positioners and other Emerson control valve products, we’re not just offering equipment—we’re delivering world-class technology backed by more than 135 years of innovation. Emerson’s digital positioners are designed to enhance safety, improve responsiveness, and optimise process efficiency in industries ranging from oil and gas to chemical, power generation, water treatment, and beyond.
The smart technology built into Fisher digital valve positioners is what sets them apart. These aren’t just mechanical devices—they’re intelligent instruments, equipped with advanced diagnostics, control capabilities, and communications protocols that allow for seamless integration with plant automation systems.
What Makes a Fisher Positioner “Smart”?
Smart valve positioners are more than control devices—they’re a window into your system’s performance. Here’s what makes Fisher Positioners stand out:
1. Fisher Positioner’s Digital Valve Control with Precision
Fisher digital positioners, such as the popular DVC6200 and DVC2000 models, use field-proven algorithms to precisely position control valves in real time. This ensures consistent flow control, reduced variability, and enhanced process reliability. Whether you’re working in a high-pressure, high-temperature environment or managing delicate fluid systems, these devices adapt dynamically to deliver optimal performance.
2. Integrated Diagnostics for Predictive Maintenance
One of the biggest benefits of smart Fisher Positioners is their built-in diagnostics capability. They continuously monitor valve performance and alert operators to potential issues before a failure occurs. That means less downtime, fewer emergency repairs, and a smoother workflow across your operations.
At Heaps, we help you leverage this technology to its fullest. With the latest Emerson AMS Device Manager software, we support our clients with equipment sizing, condition monitoring, and performance tuning—maximising uptime and long-term reliability.
3. Easy Integration with DCS and Control Systems
Fisher digital positioners support HART®, FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus, and Profibus communication protocols, making them easy to integrate into existing control systems. This connectivity enables real-time data analysis, remote calibration, and seamless feedback loops—boosting operational insight and control.
The Sustainable Side of Smarter Valves
Choosing a Fisher Positioner isn’t just about better process control—it’s also about sustainability. Accurate valve positioning reduces energy waste, improves efficiency, and limits unnecessary emissions. At Heap & Partners, we’re committed to supporting industrial progress that doesn’t come at the expense of the planet.
We’ve been carbon neutral since 2017 and Climate Positive since 2021. Every product we supply—including Fisher Positioners—is supported by our commitment to helping customers achieve their own environmental goals. Efficient processes are greener processes, and intelligent valve control plays a critical role in that journey.
