Original Press Release:



Loop Performance Monitor Mines Knowledge From Your Historian



ExperTune's PlantTriage now will monitor the performance of your control loops directly from your plant Historian. PlantTriage's new OPC HDA makes this possible. Interfaces to these historians:

OSI PI Historian
Honeywell PHD
AspenTech InfoPlus.21
Invensys AIM*Historian
Any historian supporting OPC HDA

HDA stands for Historical Data Access and is a new standard from the OPC Foundation.

PlantTriage assesses the plant data from the historian, prioritizing process control loops in order of biggest payback. PlantTriage focuses efforts on those loops that will have the greatest economic impact. Applying PlantTriage results in a steady and continuous improvement in the product quality, costs, throughput, and waste reduction in process plants.

The OPC HDA connection is simple and elegant, allowing control engineers to view past data and apply PlantTriage tools to diagnose, tune, linearize and decouple the problems found. These tools increase the effectiveness of maintenance and engineering personnel by a factor of 5 to 10 since they can optimize the process quickly and systematically with award winning tools.

PlantTriage is ExperTune's loop monitoring package that prioritizes loops for process control engineers. With PlantTriage and the same maintenance people the plant has now, performance will improve since maintenance will be focused on the areas that will make the biggest difference. And PlantTriage includes the tools to optimize those areas. PlantTriage results in predictive, reliability centered maintenance. PlantTriage maximizes profit improvement without adding brick and mortar or personnel.
