Proficy Cause+

Reduce your time to action and transform your data into real-time actionable information with Cause+.  Cause+ enables your operators, engineers, and maintenance staff to be more productive by responding faster to system issues and receiving instant post-alarm analysis via their live Proficy HMI/SCADA system. You can even use Cause+ to preempt alarm and failure event based on historical models—enabling your workforce to leverage "active avoidance," which can save batches, avoid downtime, and increase your yields.

Proficy Cause+ enables production/manufacturing engineers and process specialists to generate real-time causes for production process deviations. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) provide operators with in-depth process knowledge and specific actionable message guidance for correction.

Proficy Cause+ contains an offline component, which performs data collection, preparation, visualization, lag estimation, and correlation analysis, as well as data selection for scenario definition and simulation for each KPI. The real-time component contains the specific interfacing view to Proficy HMI/SCADA, allowing for an “Intelligent HMI/SCADA” that empowers operators to improve quality and process yields.

Let Proficy Cause + transform your data into an informational tool that drives operational excellence in your organization.
