September 17, 2013 — PAS updated its PlantState Suite product, which includes inBound Analytics, a boundary management solution to improve situation awareness in the control room and prevent industrial accidents. Version 7.3 of PlantState Suite allows users to configure and receive alarm boundary notifications to proactively manage safe plant operation. It provides advanced analyses for boundary violations in order to identify operational risks and vulnerabilities. The inBound Analytics module provides clear visibility and unique insights to violations of mechanical, design, safety, and operational limits in real time. Analyses such as frequent violations, violations by boundary type, violations by unit, and time in violation can be obtained for root cause analysis. The concept of boundary management is not new to the power and process industries. However, until now, industrial companies have used homegrown or makeshift point solutions to address this important need. The concept and the design of inBound were developed in collaboration with one of the top five global oil and gas companies. However, it also addresses the boundary management needs of companies in all other industries such as Power, Chemical, and Mining. inBound is a fully integrated add-on module to PAS’s iPlantState Suite for Alarm Management and Control Loop Performance Optimization. With the latest release of inBound, process operators and plant management can now view the overall status of their production in the context of operational and safety boundaries in real time.
