Exapilot
Features
(1) Operating procedures represented as combinations of icons (during configuration)
Exapilot uses icons to represent standard plant operation elements. Just position and link the icons in a sequence to create a standard operating procedure. Create simple hierarchical sequences to represent complex procedures. Configuring Exapilot requires no special engineering skills.
(2) Avoid omitting steps (during operations)
At each step in a process, a dialog is displayed on the screen to indicate what action an operator must take next. An interlock sequence can be configured to prevent operators from omitting a step.
(3) Automate DCS operation and monitoring
Procedures for opening valves, ramping, level checks, and starting/stopping pumps can be automated.
(4) Seamlessly connect with production control systems
Exapilot provides seamless connection to production control systems (PCS) via a standard OLE for Process Control (OPC) interface. No PCS engineering is required. Exapilot has been optimized for Yokogawa’s CENTUM series PCS, but other companies’ DCS and PLC systems are supported as well.
(5) Document standard operation procedures (SOP)
A workflow created with Exapilot can be printed out with a self-documentation function for use as a standard operating procedure (SOP).
(6) Use Exapilot as an operation simulator
By using the debugging function in trial mode, Exapilot can be used as an operation simulator. Plant data can be imported into Exapilot in real time to run simulations without disrupting actual plant operations.
(7) Make more effective use of your most skilled operators
The use of Exapilot to automate non-standard operations allows your most experienced operators to spend more time enhancing and optimizing operation procedures throughout your plant. This improves efficiency and reduces operating costs.
