ABB Ability™ PlantInsight – Operator Assist

The continuous challenge of continuous operation

Continuous-process plants are facing new situations these days, such as the need to increase flexibility and adapt media and production processes due to new regulations and resource shortages.

For instance, many of today’s continuous processes lack efficient ways to address modes of operation beyond steady-state conditions. Mitigating risks is also difficult due to dynamic production requirements, and aging equipment that can’t adhere to the latest requirements. Errors are also more likely due to the human variability and manual industrial procedures so common in today’s continuous processes.

What your plant needs is a solution that addresses these challenges by delivering reliable, actionable insights into process parameters.

ABB Ability™ PlantInsight – Operator Assist

Specialized software to help plant operators make better-informed decisions. It provides deep insights into the entire production process through a robust, intuitive and reliable operator-assisting technology.

Actionable insights

Early alerts

Unlike traditional methods, ABB Ability™ PlantInsight – Operator Assist offers early warnings of processes that have deviated from good-operating conditions.

Daily support

Keep an eye on relevant signals of the plant in every situation. This is possible with our easy-to-read overview for a large number of signals.

Incident mitigation

Compact overview helps operators to always be informed of the current process state, enabling better and faster decision making.

Key features

Lane Assist

Lane Assist specifies the optimal lane of operation by displaying, for selected process variables, a trend with a dynamic value range. It considers the current process state, and is much narrower than the lane provided by conventional static limits.

Mass-Data Display

The Mass-Data Display module uses intuitive plant representation to help operators monitor the status of all important signals. When arrows align horizontally, the current process value corresponds to the normal value at the current plant state.

Heatmap

The Heatmap module provides a quick overview of deviations of all relevant signals from their expected values. It also supports long-term tracking of plant issues.

Continuous operation: at a glance

With ABB Ability PlantInsight – Operator Assist, your continuous operations plant optimizes production, focuses on essential information, and improves shift changeover.
Optimize production

Early detection of deviations helps you take mitigating actions sooner, driving optimal production.

Operators make better-informed decisions with greater visibility into quality and throughput losses.

Focus on essential information

Plant operators always have access to essential information to mitigate issues more effectively and maximize profit potential.

You reduce risk of overlooking impending issues due to workload and divided attention.

Improve shift changeover

New shift workers accelerate productivity with greater and intuitive plant performance information.
