Monitoring Solution for Optimized Plant-Wide Control

PlantESP Loop Performance Monitoring

Right now roughly 65% of your facilitys regulatory control loops are underperforming. They are
wasting energy and feedstock, and they are negatively impacting both product quality and plant
safety. With 100s if not 1,000s of control loops at a typical facility, your production staff are hard
pressed to identify control loops that have degraded let alone to isolate the associated root-causes.

PlantESP Loop Performance Monitoring (LPM) actively monitors controllers across your facility. LPM
keeps a constant watch for performance issues and it equips your staff with timely notification of
changes to production control. LPM applies a battery of KPIs and diagnostic tools to uncover insights
that other technologies overlook. Its advanced heuristics recommend appropriate corrective actions
and accelerate the resolution of performance issues. With the insight to see issues and the tools to
fix them, LPM equips your production staff with the capability to optimize production performance.

Optimizing plant-wide production and control is a fulltime job. PlantESP just made it easy.

Optimization Solutions for Controller Performance and Asset Reliability

 PlantESP Empowers Your Staff to Improve Controller Performance Proactively

Identifying Performance Issues, Isolating Root-Causes

Issues can be found everywhere so getting to the source is essential. PlantESP LPM
leverages an extensive library of Key Performance Indices (KPIs) and advanced
diagnostics to isolate root-causes. These tools provide your staff with meaningful
insight into problems related to Controller Tuning, Instrumentation, and Loop Interaction.

Keeping Production Staff Informed

Whether you are an E&I Technician, Process Engineer or Plant Manager, you need
information that helps you perform your job nothing more, nothing less. LPMs
array of alerts and reports are customizable to match the needs of individual users.
They provide awareness that is both timely and focused.

Facilitating Corrective Action, Reestablishing Effective Control

There is a wealth of information hidden in your process data. LPM mines it and applies
heuristics to determine an appropriate solution complete with step-by-step instructions.
Equipped with an action plan your staff can quickly shift their focus from diagnosing
issues to reestablishing control.

Production and Profit: PlantESP Uncovers Opportunities for Financial Gain

The data is clear. Poor control is rampant and it is crippling your facilitys production output and profitability.
Studies of controller performance consistently point to widespread challenges that have direct economic
consequences such as:

30% of controllers are operating in manual mode

85% of controllers that are in automatic mode are operating inefficiently

65% of controllers are poorly tuned or de-tuned to mask control-related problems

50% of control valve components are functioning poorly due to improper calibration

30% of control valves exhibit excessive friction that limits control

These challenges negatively effect a facilitys output, quality, and energy consumption they impact your
bottom-line. But far too often staff either address the symptoms or go about their day unaware that
performance has been compromised. To production staff that have access to the right information, those
challenges represent opportunities for process improvement and financial gain.
Is your staff equipped with the tools they need to succeed? If optimizing plant-wide controller performance
raises questions, PlantESP can provide the answers.
