Real Time Analytics for Facilities with Diverse Data Sources
and Diverse Business Requirements

More Data
Facility Design and Planning
Plan A Rigorously collect the data needed to support
control, optimization, and business needs
Reality Plan A only works for about 5 minutes
Diversity
Multiple Vendors, Platforms, System Types Process Automation Manufacturing Execution Enterprise Planning Building Monitoring and Management Lab Information (PD or QC) Process Utilities
Evolution
Initial Requirements Product change before facility complete Process change after facility complete for quality
remediation Equipment changes to increase capacity to meet market
demand Software complexity increases to integrate new
technologies Software upgrades to continue supportability (i.e. OS
support, DCS major version upgrades)
Degradation of Standards
Day to day operation tends towards efficiency Efficiency may or may not drive compliance Compliance remediation
Evolution of tribal knowledge and best practices Changes in business rules (remediation, cost
optimizations) Improvement in process technology
Complexity Monster
Evolution of capability and degradation of standards applicability Increasing number of ‘special cases’ Increasing software and systems management
cost
Regain Control
The first link in the knowledge chain to break is Data to Information How do we rein it in?
Models, Not Standards
Initial configuration and process standards were based on models (hopefully) The initial standard procedures and schemas may
no longer apply But the models still do
ISA S88, applied to Data Stream
Equipment Model Procedural Model Process Model
Iterative Development
Functional operational requirements are easy to define People are not as easy to control and predict
as machines and software Complex integrations of people and systems
exhibit unexpected behavior
Meeting the new needs
Design Intent Construct Facility Hire operations and management staff Run the facility Understand the operating environment Redefine and optimize
