One of the most agonizing realities of production is knowing there are efficiencies to be gained and greater value extracted.
The big question is: how?
End-to-End validation of production processes, providing timely analysis of critical process parameters, through the monitoring of critical quality attributes.
- Process Design – Analyzing sources of process variability
- Maximize application of advanced process control strategies
- Improve energy and material usage
- Make equipment changes
- Increase production capacity
- Process Performance Qualification
- Reduce production cycle time
- Prevent batch rejections
- Reduce scrap
- Enable real time release of product
- Continued process Verification
- The use of knowledge management tools
- Integration of dynamic first-principle process model.
A “virtual plant” provides the benefits of predicting production lifecycles, testing system configurations and human-machine interfaces, and providing education of personnel within the manufacturing facility.
- Workforce Skill Development
- Creation of specific process scenarios for training
- Deploy exercises to train and test
- Programming to orient, refresh or certify personnel
- Control System Development, Testing and Validation
- Testing of control system logic and Human Machine Interfaces
- Mechanism for ongoing development and testing
- Identification, testing and implementation of advanced process control technologies and strategies
Eliminate unscheduled shutdowns by having an alarm management strategy.
Alarm management is the set of practices and processes that ensure an effective alarm system. An effective alarm management strategy incorporates the following activities
Criteria for alarm prioritization and definition
- Identification of alarm information sources
- Application of requirements, generation of alarm settings , consequences and corrective actions
- HMI design considerations applied to identified alarms
- Testing plan
- Performance monitoring and assessment
- Provide Visibility to data in assets located across the site
- Support troubleshooting and process improvement
- Align process, batch/event and lab data into one system
- Integrate asset and performance data into business systems
