Smart Digital Transformation yields 5 powerful outcomes
Chemical manufacturing is at the root of many key US manufactured products. From Pharmaceuticals, Nutraceuticals, and Plastics, to Sealants, Battery formulations, and many more; Chemical manufacturing is on the grow once again in the US. And companies that take advantage of the latest digital process technologies stand to lead the pack. GE Vernova offers the latest digital batch manufacturing software along with state of the art Historian and Visualization products.
These technologies allow you to digitize your process trains into equipment classes that are easy to layer MES batch process recipes onto. When combined with Finite Capacity Scheduling and Manufacturing Execution systems GE Vernova is able to scale quickly to large manufacturing operations and nimble enough to deliver new and improved product formulations quickly with minimal effort. GE Vernova also has an on-line training department that is second to none so that your team can come up to speed quick with GE Vernova products. GE Vernova offer professional integration services, but, also has a large eco-system of local, qualified, third party Solution Providers in your region ready and able to help you if you prefer outside integration assistance. Whatever your process transformation need, GE Vernova is ready to serve you and your team.
With Proficy Batch, you can create, schedule, and execute recipes that have sequence variations and can be drastically different from one another without modifying PLC code. Recipes can include formulations, procedures and equipment requirements and work instructions. Based on the ISA – S88 model and class standards specifically designed to address 21 CFR Part 11 regulations, Proficy Batch is an easy to use, scalable batch solution.
Improve throughput with Parametric Acceptance
Many GE Vernova Process Batch users take advantage parametric acceptance testing techniques while in-batch operations. Parametric Acceptance Testing (PAT) allow batch users the ability to define a set of key process indicators (KPI) such as (time, sensor values, etc.) then assign thresholds to these KPIs such that if their conditions are met they can forgo certain quality tests and be assured the product is of good quality. The saves time and improves throughput.
AI/ML Predictive Analytics Improves bottom line
Proficy C-Sense is industrial AI/ML analytics software for process optimization in manufacturing plants that easily layers on top of any mix of OT systems to reduce process variability & improves Throughput, Yield, Recovery, Quality, Waste, Energy (W.A.G.E.S), Emissions or Downtime by up to 10% or more within 6 months with 1st value in hours, by optimizing process & control settings offline or real-time online.
Reduce waste with recipe management
Recipes change frequently leading to delays and errors as production spends time adjusting. Frequent product changeovers drives down productivity. And, complex recipe life-cycles with many stakeholders involved to efficiently review and approve using paper trails prove difficult as well.
If Versioning is required, an audit trail of recipe changes requires digitization. Proficy Recipe Manager manages all these issues and more. See your Representative for details.
The Ultimate Mobile Solution for Chemical Apps
The Proficy Suite of products includes a lowcode / no-code, webbased UI that is second to none. Every product in the Proficy suite contributes widgets for this UI. From MES, to scheduler, to batch, to AI/ML Analytics. They all can live in Operations Hub screens.
Additionally, there is a rich native set of objects for users who wish to create their own display library. Provide your users with a single pane of glass for all their software applications. One that runs just as well on a tablet as it does on a desktop. Operations Hub reacts to the target viewing device (even down to the model of cell phone). And, you can control what objects are shown on a screen when rendering in the different presentation types (Workstation, Tablet, Phone).
Operations Hub also comes with scripting capabilities, a full reporting object pallet, SQL and REST support as well as your favorite HMI capabilities. Slap a widget on the display and link it to an OPC/UA, Historian or scripted data source.
Op Profit
Drive Billions in operational profit
According to industry experts, chemical manufacturers can potentially save between 20% and 40% on operational costs through the implementation of AI and automation. With significant benefits coming from optimized energy usage, reduced waste, improved production yields, and predictive maintenance, leading to substantial cost savings and increased efficiency across the manufacturing process.
