Chemical factory production overview dashboards

We had implemented production overview dashboards for one of the leading European producers of surface-active agents and chemical auxiliaries. Using Mervis SCADA and related tools, we were able to connect to existing monitoring systems and provide the analytical layer.

Challenges

• Integration of various legacy control and monitoring systems
• Not all variables are measured - use of virtual sensors
• Measurement noise and drop-outs

Achievements

• Calculation of tailored KPI such as kWh per ton of product
• Custom dashboards with production overview, see screenshot below
• Complex alarms based of evaluation of multiple measured variables
• Special dashboards for sales managers
