Chemical companies typically generate terabytes or more of data on process and production, quality, equipment and reliability, engineering and back office processes. But while all this data has huge potential for meaningful analysis that can drive improved profit margins, it is often trapped in individual department silos spread across the enterprise. Therefore a growing number of companies are investing in technologies that provide insights from across the departments to drive efficiencies and reduce risks.

For example, a specialty chemicals company can have thousands of raw materials, intermediates and finished products, making the management of which orders to produce a huge task. The ability to prioritize outstanding orders based on the revenue expected to be generated would deliver substantial benefits. What is needed is a comprehensive view of what has been produced and sold, what is in-process to be shipped, what process orders are planned, and identification of open orders that could be produced.

Multivariate data analysis is needed to identify the risks associated with changing the product mix. Things like raw material and intermediate quality and availability, planned and unplanned equipment downtime, first time quality by product, etc. must be considered. Some of the information is readily available; other factors such as unplanned downtime must be put through algorithms to predict potential issues.

Rolta OneView™, along with SAP software, aids in gathering data from various asset and production monitoring systems and devices. It applies data to a preconfigured and integrated data model, based upon accepted chemical industry standards, and combines it with cross-functional key performance indicators. The solution enables management to view plant operations as a fully integrated set of processes and KPIs spanning the whole enterprise, with actionable analytics and reporting. These capabilities allow executives to drive operational, reliability, and performance improvements via corporate initiatives such as balanced scorecards, Six Sigma initiatives, and total quality management.

Rolta OneView™ utilizes a series of regression-based predictive models that enable risk analysis and rapid improvements to areas like product quality, asset reliability and operational equipment effectiveness. This information can then be utilized to help analyze the risks associated with products to be made to fill the gap.

The uniquely tailored solutions offered by Rolta are essential in enabling chemical companies to achieve competitive advantages and profitability. Rolta experts will be on hand at SAPPHIRE® Now in Orlando May 5-7 to answer questions about how to take advantage of new technologies that drive operational excellence and boost profitability.
