Optimize Your Process Plants with Our Integrated Digital Solution
We offer an advanced, digitally integrated solution designed to seamlessly connect to your data historian or SCADA system. Our solution automatically generates loss events for configured assets when they stop or operate below target. These events are time-stamped, classified, and verified against your asset structure and time usage model. Based on your business rules, these loss events can automatically trigger a Root Cause Analysis Investigation as part of our Defect Elimination framework.
Our framework enables thorough investigation of loss events, the establishment of corrective actions, and their assignment for continuous improvement. Additionally, our solution features advanced analytics capabilities and a studio tool that allows users to configure and build custom reports and dashboards. This is particularly beneficial for operations lacking an independent reporting layer, as it enables the presentation of production data alongside downtime and defect elimination data, provided the production system is connected.Key Challenges addressed
Make a Change. Optimize your Business.
The business case for the Downtime & Defect Elimination Solution
Our analysis of manual downtime tracking using spreadsheets has revealed that at least 50% of loss data is either missed or recorded incorrectly. This primarily happens because events are often overlooked, and the manual process of analyzing asset signals to determine when an asset stopped, restarted, and reached target is prone to errors. As a result, Availability and Utilization numbers may be reported incorrectly, leading improvement programs to focus on the wrong areas.
Our Downtime and Defect Elimination Solution resolves this issue by automatically capturing all events, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
Manually tracking downtime events is time-consuming, repetitive, and prone to errors. It is estimated that at least 60 worker-hours per week are spent on manually checking, correcting, and verifying events across various resources and disciplines. This task, often handled by skilled professionals, equates to approximately 1.5 full-time resources. Given the high cost of mining resources and the current labor shortage, this wasted time can significantly impact operations.
Our Downtime and Defect Elimination Solution addresses this issue by automating the process, reducing wasted time, and allowing valuable resources to be redirected to more critical tasks.
When leveraged by the right people, downtime data can be incredibly powerful. However, many downtime systems fail to effectively disseminate critical information. Manual systems often depend on individuals sharing basic Excel spreadsheets, which is haphazard at best.
Our Downtime and Defect Elimination Solution addresses this issue with an integrated analytics layer. This feature automatically compiles reports, emails them to predefined lists, and provides real-time dashboards accessible to all relevant departments.
When failures occur, traditional downtime solutions only provide simple event data and lack the framework to investigate and correct the issue. This often results in recurring failures. Our Downtime and Defect Elimination Solution resolves this problem by automatically initiating Root Cause Analysis investigations based on the business rules you set.
These investigations are managed within our Defect Elimination framework, where corrective actions are established and monitored to prevent future occurrences of the same failure.
