What's New

Current Release

: Batch Performance Analytics – Private Cloud 1.00.00

Features

Uses FactoryTalk DataMosaix Private Cloud platform for:
Enhanced User Management
: Securely manage user access with configurable roles and permissions, improving accountability and oversight.
Unified Data Connectivity
: Seamlessly integrate data from various sources via standard out of the box connectors.
FactoryTalk Batch Connector
: Retrieve detailed batch information, including timing and asset usage. Supports FactoryTalk Batch version 12 or newer.
FactoryTalk Historian Connector (via PI System)
: Access real-time sensor data to monitor process parameters and enable proactive corrective actions. Supports PI Server or FactoryTalk Historian SE or OSI PI; requires connectivity with PI Asset Framework Client Version 2018 R2 or newer.
LIMS Data Connector
: Retrieves laboratory test data from CSV and Excel files.
Data Contextualization
: Utilizes the pre-built flexible data model to organize and understand data effectively.
Configure the Golden Batch baseline:
Flexible KPI/BPI Configuration
: Identify and configure the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and their associated parameters. Customize weightages for KPI/BPI calculations to align with specific business needs. Easily copy configurations between similar recipes for increased efficiency.
Supports two (2) KPIs: Quality and Cycle Time.
Supports two (2) KPI parameters: critical quality attributes - CQA (e.g. viscosity) and batch cycle time duration.
For each KPI parameter: configure spec limits, target values, and weightage.
Proactive Process Monitoring with OOT Rules
:
Set up Out of Tolerance (OOT) rules for monitoring each KPI parameter.
Select target users who should receive the alert notifications.
Receive timely alerts for process deviations using a set of 8 pre-defined Nelson Rules.
Insight Dashboards tailored to different functions at different levels of the organization enhances collaboration:
Comprehensive Performance Calculations
: Calculate key performance metrics, including Cycle Time and Quality, using pre-defined formulas and user-defined weightages.
Hierarchical Production Performance Dashboards
: Gain insights at different levels and the ability to review daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly performance against the Golden Batch target.
Enterprise Insights: View overall performance across multiple production sites on a world map. Benchmark performance across sites and drill down into a sites.
Site Insights: Drill down into site-specific data with interactive charts and filters.
Batch Insights: Access detailed information for individual batches, including the ability to designate "golden batches."
Process performance insights
: near real-time process insights visualize process variability based on sensor data and compare current performance against "golden batch" data to identify areas for improvement.
Statistical Process Control (SPC): Monitor process performance in real time with IMR and Process Capability charts.
Detailed batch-to-batch comparison
: Compare alert events and batch data side-by-side to identify trends and improve decision-making.
Comparison criteria:
Multiple batches running in the same unit
Multiple batches running in similar units across PCells
Comparison at all procedure levels (recipe, unit procedure, operation, phase):
Parameter profiles
Cycle Time durations.
Deviation tracking and reporting
: Streamlined Alerting and Analysis: Alert Notifications: View all Nelson Rule alerts in a dedicated tab with detailed batch information.
