–Predictive Function Enhances Production Site Monitoring–
TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#control–Azbil Corporation (TOKYO:6845) has announced the global launch of the English and Chinese versions of its Early Warning System for Time Series Data (hereafter, �Early Warning System) in markets including Southeast Asia, China and Korea.
The Early Warning System, launched in Japan in 2013, is a software package that constantly monitors changes in time series data trends for important process variables like temperature, pressure, flow rate, and liquid level in order to alert operators to potential deviation from control values at an early stage. Compared with alarm monitoring by a distributed control system (DCS), the Early Warning Systems predictive alarms have the advantage of early recognition, before control values are reached or safety devices operate.
In an emergency when something goes wrong with equipment and many DCS alarms activate, missed alarms or other human error may occur, leading to accidents. The Early Warning System, however, is independent of the DCS and complements ordinary alarms with predictive ones. For example, showing trends on a large display separately from the DCS monitor can promote an early and appropriate response by operators. In this way, the system works in combination with existing monitoring and control systems like the DCS to provide greater effectiveness.
In Japan, the system is used mainly by oil and chemical companies, which are highly conscious of plant safety and security and are willing to utilize IoT technology, but recently it has also been used at water supply facilities to monitor distribution reservoirs, water quality, and drainage facilities, in order to ensure a stable supply of tap water. Also, the systems use has expanded to include maintaining the quality of medical and pharmaceutical products as required by regulations. For example, it detects abnormal temperature fluctuations early to suppress deviations from control values. In response to the growing need for data-based solutions at overseas manufacturing sites, Azbil is launching English and Chinese versions of the software.
