These are data that document which actual parameters a process was performed with. As a rule, these data are used by the plant controls to regulate the process. This information, such as temperatures, pressures or velocities, usually remain in the controls and are not used for other tasks. Tapping this "data pot" opens up additional opportunities to increase added value. For example, the permanent visualization of the relevant process parameters makes it easy to detect deviations from the target process. This gives the maintenance engineer a modern and clear user interface to monitor all his systems based on the recorded telemetry data. The information gained in this way is not only an important asset for the production staff, but also in maintenance, this database offers additional assistance in troubleshooting and in the optimization of production facilities. Highlights and Benefits - PROXIA process data module • Use the process data recorded by the MES for your maintenance! PROXIA process data module - perfect visualization for maintenance • Online monitoring of telemetry data, even on mobile devices Many modern systems offer the possibility to provide process data for maintenance. However, just about all providers bring their own visualization solutions. This makes a clear and uniform representation of telemetry data of different systems as good as impossible. • Automatic generation of maintenance messages • Minimize reaction and downtime! • Identify causes of disruption and initiate coordinated actions The visualization level of the PROXIA process data module is able to graphically represent any kind of process data such as pressures, flow rates or vibration patterns. • Create a database for automated decision-making processes • Process data as "enabler" for maintenance 4.0 In the event that the measured values deviate from the specifications, push notification concepts such as SMS, mail, RSS or the automated generation of maintenance messages are available. This helps to minimize unplanned downtime and postpone scheduled downtime to less critical time windows.
