Abstracts:
Session 1: Operational Insight & Case Study
Access to the whole operational picture through web-based data visualization and KPI dashboards enables better operational decisions by providing you with the data you need, when you need it and in the required format. The use of one universal client tool across your whole enterprise gives you simple and timely collaboration within and across departments. See how Matrikon’s web-based decision support system can help you access data from all your operational systems, build powerful calculations like Key Performance Indicators, and visualize all your information in any format – process graphics, trends, KPI gauges, reports, charts -- in one powerful operational dashboard.
Actively participate in this demo to build a KPI dashboard.
Session 2: Alarm Management & Case Study
Alarm Manager is a powerful tool that can help you optimize you alarm strategy to mitigate abnormal situations. The new S18.02 emerging standard from ISA will change the way alarm management is perceived. Learn about the progress to date of this upcoming standard and the likely impact it will have on your business. This session will cover the evolution of alarm management, best practices when integrating an alarm management project, and key legislation regulating alarm management practices.
Actively participate in this demo with alarm & event string data.
Session 3: PID Tuning
Matrikon Control Performance Monitor eliminates the guesswork in control tuning and loop optimization by analyzing and tuning control performance in closed-loop conditions without breaking open loops. Using TaiJi process modeling technology, Matrikon Control Performance Monitor prioritizes maintenance efforts and enables users to tune multiple PID loops simultaneously through non-disruptive closed-loop testing in a matter of minutes.
Actively participate in this demo with PID loop data.
Session 4: OPCCompanies accross the globe spend millions of dollars to collect and store data, but often end up being unable to move or access that data. What if there was a way to easily eliminate islands of data, and consolidate it in one central point? The answer lies in OPC connectivity. OPC technology taps the data layer and enables data from the plant floor to be made available to the top floor.
The methods of OPC data access remain the same regardless of the type and source of data. Therefore, end users are free to choose the software and hardware that meets their primary production needs, without having to consider the availability of proprietary drivers. The ability to not be locked in to proprietary drivers is paramount for companies to look toward the future and build vendor neutral "best of breed" solutions.
This session will provide the fundamentals of OPC technology, and enable attendees to utilize what they will learn to build a solid foundation for the future.
Actively participate in this demo to securly connect to an OPC Server.
