(86b) Best Practices on Standardizing Process Historian Data and Empowering Plant Workers to Boost Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

Key Learnings:

• - Best practices: How one of the world's largest crop science companies standardizes data with the PI System
• - Shiftconnector io.Performance as a driver for global data standardization
• - Batch cycle time and OEE tracking with PI Event Frames and Shiftconnector io.Performance
• - Adding context from the plant workforce to PI data
• - Reporting and visualization or continuous improvement

Learn how one of the world's largest crop science companies created a global standard to share data with their manufacturing teams, using PI Asset Framework and Event Frames. See how Shiftconnector io.Performance became a driver for standardization while empowering plant workers and OpEx-Engineers to shorten batch cycle times and boost asset performance.

The session will reveal best practices on the technical aspects as well as on how to drive standardization across a global manufacturing enterprise by creating value. The session will feature a live demo of Shiftconnector io.Performance consuming PI Event Frames to monitor the performance of an active ingredient manufacturing plant. It shows how OEE data is validated by the shift team and contextualized with relevant human knowledge.

The talk shows the value of shared data, visualized performance, and transparent shop floor communication to reveal the entire implications of a problem and drive people to continuous improvement and inspire them to operational excellence.
