Improving Unit Operations in Real-Time.
April 16, 2007 - Hartland, Wisconsin
ExperTune announces ProcessApex™, providing
real-time advice for process unit operations, based on the expert
advice of Greg Shinskey and others. This system builds on the
success of ExperTune’s PlantTriage® system, delivering
specific diagnostics, advice, and improvement suggestions for process
unit operations. Further, it allows direct benchmark comparisons
between unit operations across an entire company. This data drives
daily decisions at the plants, as well as high-level decisions such
as capital spending, at the corporate level.
How does ProcessApex work?
ProcessApex gathers real-time data directly from control systems, and from
loop-level analysis from PlantTriage. It then develops
performance metrics and provides real-time advice for unit
operations. ProcessApex automatically determines high-level measures,
such as efficiencies, yields, and quality information.
ProcessApex is also aware of the role of each unit operation in the context
of the larger process. This allows direct like-for-like benchmarking
within and between similar plants. For example, an oil company can compare
the performance of atmospheric crude distillation units throughout the
entire company.
ExperTune's Integrated Solution
ProcessApex is part of ExperTune's integrated asset performance
package. The full package provides 24x7
monitoring, diagnosis, prioritization, and correction of
performance issues. Browser-based tools ensure that everyone has
access to the information they need, instantly.
ProcessApex adds process operational context to the raw data from
PlantTriage, PlantAMS, and PlantEKG. This helps you to focus efforts on the root
cause of issues, and quickly make large-scale performance
improvements.
ExperTune's solution is non-intrusive. We gather real-time
data from your existing process, equipment, and controls. Using
sophisticated analysis techniques, we turn those mountains of data
into focused, prioritized information.
