ExperTune's new version of PlantTriage automatically sends technicians and engineers an email if a controller or process area behaves abnormally. PlantTriage detects problems well before they show up as an operator alarm. Now the PlantTriage alert email will announce the potential problem in good time for it to be fixed. Shut-downs are avoided.
Product quality is increased and production becomes more efficient.PlantTriage alerts are easy to set up from a desktop browser. For example, engineers may want to be alerted when a critical controller or an entire unit operation is underperforming. Or they may wish to be alerted if a number of controllers in a certain area start to oscillate. Plant managers may wish to know if the variability of a critical process variable increases.
Alerts are fully flexible. Any user can choose any assessment of any loop or unit operation.PlantTriage includes a browser alert summary window which shows which alerts are outstanding for which user, now and at any time in the past. This makes sure that the alert is not overlooked until the underlying problem is diagnosed and fixed.
For documentation purposes there is a browser-based log of when alerts occurred and returned to normal.For 19 years, ExperTune has created award winning optimization software that runs in thousands of plants world-wide.
