Issue:
Real-time business decision making

What’s my current
production rate and
energy consumption?

How does last week’s
production compare to
this week’s or even last
year’s?

How do I get only the
information I need
without information
overload?
© Copyright 2003 ABB - 8 -
Solution: Intuitive, real-time decision support

Easy visualization of key
indicators

Elimination of
superfluous data
Production rate vs.energy usage
Key Performance Indicators in stock ticker format
Issue:

Production status reports for
management

Standard reports for regulatory
agencies


EPA

FDA
Status reports for operation
personnel


Reporting Requirements Abound

without having to fumble
through multiple reports in
varying formats and media
Reports need to be scheduled
cyclically, on demand and on
event
© Copyright 2003 ABB - 10
-
Solution: Report Demands Met

Access to real-time and
historic data

Familiar industry
standards

Report Scheduling both
time and event based

Multiple output
destinations


with regulatory (FDA,
EPA) format guidelines

Laboratory, manually
entered data
© Copyright 2003 ABB - 11
-
Solution: Excel Reports

Familiar Excel-based reporting
environment is supported with
ABB’s DataDirect Plug-Ins

Easy-to-use dialogs for realtime as well as historical data
retrieval

Functions allow spreadsheets
to be saved and executed as
standard reports

Issue:
Improved production decision making

If I only knew what was
happening upstream or
downstream of my
process, I could be more
efficient

I’ve got so many different
systems …how can I
ever keep everything
straight?

I need one view to see
information from all the
different systems in the
process - control systems

Issue:

I don’t have the
resources to configure a
separate history or PIMS
system

© Copyright 2003 ABB - 16
-

Consistency and System Maintenance
Every time I make a
change in the control
system, I have to
remember to make the
same change to my history
system
I can’t afford the system
administration and
overhead associated with
yet another system
© Copyright 2003 ABB - 17
-
Solution: Single point of engineering with Industrial IT

Wizard based point and history
configuration

Bulk configuration based on Excel

Single point of configuration for
points and history eliminates
duplication of engineering effort.

Single point change management
for process and historical data

Generic log templates are used
and object inheritance
applies
Solution: Reduced Administrative effort

definitions and security
settings for entire system
System-wide status
monitoring

function
Administration of
Information Manager
functions are done within
Industrial IT

No need for administration
of another PIMS system

-
Issue: Life is more than just raw data points

Value-added information
must be provided so I
can make the right
decisions for better
production.

An example of this are tank
farm inputs. Temperature,
flows and levels signals are
inputs to the system. But…
I need to know other
characteristics such as
density, viscosity, and volume,
etc. and I need to run
calculations on the data.
© Copyright 2003 ABB - 20
-
Solution: Actionable Information

Data is transformed into
actionable information

Calculations based upon the
tank farm inputs are performed
and stored as system
Softpoints

These new Softpoint values of
viscosity, density and volume,
etc. are made available to
other functions in the system
and treated as any other tag in
the system

Current value, alarming,
trended, displayed on
graphics, reported
Issue: Handling Complex Data Relationships

I need more than just
numeric data, I need
relationships between
data, events, alarms and
need to associate this
information based upon a
batch or production run


How does my current
batch run compare to a
