TrendMiner Analytical production center

2019: TrendMiner 2019.R3

On September 12, 2019 the TrendMiner NV company announced a release of version 2019.R3 of the software of TrendMiner which allows the enterprises to create some kind of analytical production center with a continual production cycle. Using this center operators of the equipment and heads will be able to analyze production process in real time, to compare its results to last production cycles, to browse diagnostic supplied, the information on quality and also forecasts. All these valuable data are displayed on the configured dashboards. Besides, software allows to optimize transfer of information flows from one change to another and also from workers of change to engineers, to display a current status of production process and analysis results of contemporary records even for the most remote production facilities. These data can be transferred to experts in different locations and according to the results of the analysis quickly to make the weighed decisions. TrendMiner release, according to the developer, is of interest to the companies of the chemical, oil and gas industries, sectors of water purification and water treatment, utilities, pharmaceutics, the food and mining industry.

As noted in TrendMiner NV, the enterprises should have an opportunity to obtain analytical data in real time, exactly it will allow to make the considered decisions and to control performance indicators. TrendMiner 2019.R3 gives an opportunity to use to all interested persons (from operators of supervisory consoles to board members) functions of the full-fledged production center providing a dashboard, a packet of analytical tools and ample opportunities of an operative communication. Any specialist can create and transmit exhaustive idea of production process through the provided TrendMiner release, including its status and performance indicators, in real time.

Operators will be able beforehand to optimize processes, without waiting for emergence of problems, thanks to the advanced functions of early notifications from the structure of the production center for assessment of a current status of process, claim in TrendMiner NV.

According to the developer, crucially not only to obtain data on all events of production process, but also to have an opportunity to inform on events of each participant of process that it could make the contribution to increase in productivity, solving of tasks and ensuring effective work. For this reason all is provided in TrendMiner necessary for continuous informing each specialist on the latest events of production process. Thanks to the organizer of works of TrendMiner allowing to exchange data interaction between groups of specialists is significantly facilitated. Using the provided TrendMiner release users will be able:

• browse the ContextHub windows, the DashHub dashboards and visualization of production process in a schedule type ("fingerprints");
• exchange comments (in the context of process) which remain in a system with a possibility of their further search;
• inform on approval of certain elements and add to them an investment with a possibility of further transfer;
• use automatic investments of the trigger TrendMiner system, for example, automatically generated reports.

According to the statement of the developer, using TrendMiner the specialists working with different assets (equipment) and processes can analyze, trace and predict operational indicators, using function of the analysis of trends and time series. TrendMiner 2019.R3 expands these opportunities thanks to the generalized assessment of performance of different assets, the cost focused search and analytics. Engineers can execute the cost focused search in all range of the connected assets, comparing their indicators within one or several plants. Using valuable criteria of efficiency, it is possible to compare in seconds indicators of similar assets, for example pumps, heat exchangers and valves.

Results of such analysis are suitable for creation of panels of the production centers, specific to each asset, which, by means of TrendMiner, will be available to authorized engineers within a corporate structure, emphasized in TrendMiner NV.

As noted in TrendMiner NV, the companies with a continual production cycle use a set of the business applications connected with certain production processes. In TrendMiner 2019.R3 there was an opportunity to initiate certain actions in SAP PM, LIMS business applications or batch processing systems using the Webhook trigger. Along with notifications by e-mail and automatic creation of contextual elements Webhook triggers are automatically started on the configured TrendMiner monitors. Using "early warning" at deviations from standard process ("Golden Batch") or the best mode of functioning of an asset, using Webhooks it is possible to initiate automatic execution of actions in the business application of third-party developers, for example, creation of a dress on scheduled maintenance. Webhook triggers allow not only to take information from different data sources through ContextHub, but also to integrate production and business processes for more full control of economic indicators.

The production center (additional possibility of TrendMiner) and the related improvements will help interested persons to gain complete idea of production processes that expands possibilities of control and flexibility in implementation of the made decisions. These updates will allow any production specialist to make the contribution to increase in efficiency. Using a packet of integration (webMethods Integration Suite) of Software AG company it is possible to integrate production data from different repositories to analyze overall effectiveness and to exercise complex control of results of work in the production center, noted in TrendMiner NV.
