Integrated Safety Management

Your Benefits

Act with Agility

Managing non-routine operations for a smoother re-startup

Re-startup of the plant is typically an interaction intensive non-routine operation conducted under extreme time pressure

Non-routine operations can be made smooth and reliable by an intuitive operation navigator

The ad-hoc approach:

Exapilot advanced operation navigator:

- A large amount of manual operations that demand extra care for timing and attention to detail

- Knowledge visualization:
Interactive and graphical software representation of non-routine operational procedure

- Operation navigation:
Assists interaction intensive procedure with automated standard operating procedure

- Knowledge retention:
Leverages accumulated human know-how of your experienced operators and engineers

BEFORE: Requires a lot of manual and interaction intensive effort to bring the plant back to operation

AFTER: Shared know-how in the form of an intuitive software navigator makes the recovery process less hectic and more reliable

The Act with Agility Advantage

During interaction intensive non-routine operations, advanced operation assistance (AOA) solutions can greatly increase both the speed and quality of operation. Once the emergency situation is contained, AOA software assists both safe and smooth secondary containment and speedy re-startup of the plant.

Key Technologies

	Modern expert system Flow chart builder allows all people involved in plant operation to visualize and share their untapped operation know-how
	Operation navigation Visualized know-how can be used as an operation navigator in actual operation to prevent manual data entry errors, errors in procedure, or operator oversight.

The Voice of an Industry Leader

"Once we introduced Yokogawa's Exapilot, operators started to volunteer their ideas how to improve operations beyond the grade change issues. With heightened motivation to participate in our operation improvement activities, the operators to this day continue to create and introduce solutions that stabilized complex operations and improve their productivity."
