  Plant Dashboard Shows Plant Performance at a Glance

PlantTriage Performance Dashboard

Plant Performance Dashboard

Focus Attention on the "Hot Spots"

Get a summary of overall plant performance with your very first glance. The Plant Performance Dashboard summarizes high-level information and displays it graphically on a single page. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are prominently displayed, helping to keep everyone focused on the most important measures.

Multiple Tools Support Data Mining

PlantTriage® contains a huge warehouse of data about your process. You have only a limited amount of time to spend, so PlantTriage® helps to focus your attention to only the most important problems. Three tools on the Dashboard are specifically designed to focus your attention on the most important problems:

  • Performance TreeMap
  • Biggest Payback Loops
  • Alert Summary

  Solve Problems—Immediately! with New Problem Solvers

Problem Solvers sort through the huge warehouse of data in PlantTriage® and reveals specific opportunities to improve plant performance. Whether your role is maintenance, operations, quality, or engineering, there are Problem Solvers specifically designed to help you improve plant performance.

Each Problem Solver is designed to hone in on specific issues that directly affect plant performance. The Problem Solver sorts through process, operations, and control information from across the plant, then filters through the data, looking for the signs of specific performance problems. Problem Solvers are available to anyone in the plant via a simple web-browser interface.

Partial List of Problem Solvers

The complete list of Problem Solvers is continually growing. The partial list shown below will give you an idea of the types of analysis that Problem Solvers can provide.

  • Opportunity Gap Identify where you can adjust setpoints to increase profits!
  • Valve Repairs Needed—Stiction Valves that may require maintenance due to problems with stiction. Stiction cycles are a known source of process cycling/instability, as well as a source of reliability issues.
  • Loops Need Tuning—Oscillatory Oscillating loops reduce the energy efficiency of the plant. This Problem Solver pinpoints the culprits.
  • Loops Need Tuning—Too Sluggish When a loop is tuned too slowly, it is not able to bring the process back into control after a disturbance. This can result in dangerous conditions or process shutdowns. Find out which loops need attention.

  Enhanced Trending Tools

Get More Control of Web-based Trends

Web-based trends just became a lot more powerful. Now all users have access to interactive trending tools. The new tools include the ability to:

  • Re-scale trend (both X and Y axis)
  • Scroll back or forward in time
  • Zoom in on a time window
  • Readout of actual values at hairline cursor

These new tools help everyone to understand their plant, faster than ever before.
