회사가 EEM 시스템을 구현하기로 결정할 때 플랜트가 확장되고 점점 더 복잡해지면서 시스템이 "성장"할 수 있는 능력을 동시에 고려해야 합니다. 극단적인 경우에는 작은 레코더 기반 시스템으로 시작하는 것이 독립형 PLC로 제어하고 프로세스 제어 시스템 도입을 앞당길 수 있습니다. EEM 프로세스의 구조(에너지 최적화 작업을 위한 모든 중요한 요소)는 그대로 유지되므로 이 노하우를 보존하고 확장하는 것이 타당합니다.

EMM 시스템은 공장 운전자를 대신하는 자동 조종 장치가 아닙니다. 오히려 안전, 사용 가능한 원재료 품질 및 특정 제품 품질 또는 생산성 및 생산 능력 요구 사항 등과 같은 다른 매개 변수도 중요한 영향을 미칩니다. 이 시스템은 아래의 주요 기능을 통합하는 운영자 지원 도구로 설명할 수 있습니다.
1. 전류 및 에너지 최적화 작업 비교
2. 다른 운영 모드로 전환하여 얼마나 많은 에너지를 절약할 수 있는지 공장 운영자에게 설명
3. 필요한 경우 운영자가 기존 모드에서 최적화된 작동 모드로의 전환할 수 있도록 지원

마지막으로, 이러한 작업을 마스터하기 위해서는 신뢰할 수 있고 의미 있는 데이터베이스, 그리고 이 데이터는 구조화되고 우선순위가 있는 해석, 결과에 대한 명확하고 이해하기 쉽게 시각화 및 권장하는 작업 과정이 요구됩니다.

이러한 요구 사항이 충족되면 Yokogawa EEM 시스템은 효율성 향상과 비용 절감을 극대화하는 한편 플랜트 운영자의 추가 부담을 최소화하는 데 기여할 수 있습니다.

Overview:

In ARC's view, customers need a compelling business value proposition to justify investment in any kind of automation. Vigilance and VigilantPlant were created with this in mind. Yokogawa's vision with VigilantPlant is to create an environment where plant personnel and operators are well informed, alert, and ready to take action. 

Overview:

Yokogawa has come a long way in making its message clear to the world of process automation. Last year, the company embarked on a full-scale global marketing campaign to make customers aware of the company's focus on system reliability, security, dependability, and robustness. Dubbed "Vigilance", the campaign created a unified message for the company and greatly helped expand awareness of the Yokogawa brand and corporate philosophy.

Overview:

Process automation end users are under more pressure than ever to do more with less. The current economic climate means that many automation capital projects are on hold. With capital budgets tighter than ever, users instead focus on operational budgets (where cost cutting is also a key concern), or on automation investments with a very rapid return on investment.

Overview:

ISA S88.01 provides great benefit to users and vendors by solidifying batch operating models and standardizing batch control terminology. On the other hand, as befits an industry-wide standard, ISA S88.01 leaves great flexibility for individual users to apply their own project practices and implementation methodology. Even when utilizing ISA S88.01 models and terminology, many pitfalls remain for those who implement batch controls and recipe management without thinking ahead. Real-world project experience has demonstrated a number of design and implementation "lessons" which might be overlooked to the eventual grief of the batch engineer.

Overview:

The S88.02 draft standard defines a means for depicting procedural control in master and control recipes. This depiction method is called a Procedural Function Chart (PFC). This standard depiction is based on the requirements of S88.01, technical report ISA-TR88.0.03-1996, user requirements, previous standards and commonly used procedure depiction methods in use today. PFCs can provide a common basis for the exchange of recipes, reduce the learning curve between control systems, and establish a common ground for improved human communication. This paper provides a brief overview of the development of PFCs, the rules for their use and some of the benefits expected by their adoption in the industry.

Overview:

The case study in this paper illustrates the value of integrating front-end scheduling with a batch control system. Recipe changes, and addition of recipes, occur frequently in the target process. However, since both scheduler and batch packages were designed with the ISA-S88.01 model in mind, these packages could be tightly coupled (well integrated) – and, as a result, it is easy to add or change recipes. The front- end scheduler is not limited to performing scheduling; it also provides an easy-to-grasp real-time production status display which can help enhance efficiency and productivity.

Overview:

As batch processes are automated, it is common to leave certain less essential field devices without automatic actuators. Thus, the initial control design must accommodate both automated and manual activities. Later, the manual field devices may be automated, either one-at-a-time or in related groups as equipment modules. These field changes, often occurring over a period of years, each require rework of the batch control logic, which can easily exceed the cost of the actuator. In response to this undesirable situation, a technique has been developed which permits the batch design to automatically modify itself, or evolve, to accommodate changes in field automation.

Overview:

Six Sigma is a quality improvement methodology applied to improving any type of process. It is a methodology endorsed by and heavily integrated into several major chemical companies.

Overview:

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are used in batch processing industries as measurements of production performance. Their use is one element in the current trend of real-time performance management. A single KPI used as the primary measurement of production can cause other dimensions of production performance lose importance. When multiple KPIs are used to measure a batch's production performance it can be difficult to reconcile differences between them for individual batches or for groups of batches. KPIs based upon meeting a target, or specification, measure absolute performance yet do not provide relative information regarding how a batch performed against its peers. The peer comparisons are important for monitoring variability of production performance, which is a critical factor in documenting ROI.

Overview:

The application of DCS-based "advanced controls" is a common method of achieving enhanced performance from continuous processes such as refinery units. However, it is less widely recognized, but nonetheless true, that modern DCS systems can include other software tools for the significant improvement of batch plant productivity, product quality, and economic performance. Due to the fundamental processing differences between the two types of plants, unique batch "advanced control" features are required which are different from those used for continuous plants.

Overview:

ARC believes that by implementing procedural automation, many process plants can minimize variability to help ensure smooth, efficient, and safe state transitions.
