Prioritizer/Optimizer Software improves plant effectiveness.
August 12, 2002 - PlantTriage prioritizes areas to work on that will yield greatest economic benefit to plant. OPC communication protocols gather data from control system, and integrated tools diagnose, tune, linearize and decouple problems found. Each server will monitor up to 1000 loops continuously. Over 30 performance assessments are available for all loops, including variability, average error, oscillation analysis, time in normal mode, and closed-loop performance index.

PlantTriage Process Prioritizer/Optimizer, Unleashed
ExperTune's PlantTriage software is now released into production after successful testing at beta sites.
ExperTune's PlantTriage software results in a steady and continuous improvement in the effectiveness of your control system. Plant maintenance becomes pro-active. This, in turn, leads to improved product quality, and a lower cost of doing business through energy savings, reduced start-up times, and elimination of waste. PlantTriage runs continuously, monitoring the process and reporting when the performance of a loop begins to deteriorate.
PlantTriage prioritizes areas to work on that will yield the greatest economic benefit to the plant. Using a browser (like Internet Explorer) an engineer or technician simply clicks on Biggest Payback Loops. The higher the loop appears in the list, the greater the benefit to the plant by improving the loop.
PlantTriage includes integrated tools to diagnose, tune, linearize and decouple the problems found. Includes all the tools of ExperTune's award winning PID Tuner/Analyzer for advanced loop optimization. From the Biggest Payback Loops, the engineer can drill down into more detailed analysis.
PlantTriage includes benchmarking to quantify how the maintenance
effort has helped plant operations and as a check to see that the plant is staying healthy. Production and plant management can dial in with their browser to get tables and trends that quantifies plant performance improvement.
PlantTriage uses industry standard OPC communication protocols to
gather data from your control system. Each PlantTriage server will monitor up to 1000 loops continuously. Over 30 performance assessments are always available for all loops, including variability, average error, oscillation analysis, time in normal mode, closed-loop performance index, valve travel, etc.
ExperTune's full suite of optimization tools make it easy to increase the efficiency of your process. Use ExperTune's software to analyze and tune control loops in any industrial controller. ExperTune's PlantTriage monitors and assesses your entire plant, ensuring optimal operation. ExperTune's analysis includes simulation, modeling, robustness, linearization, valve wear analysis, pH linearizer, time series analysis, multivariable, statistical, frequency response and loop tuning tools.
