In most plants, process data is generated by various OT systems such as the DCS or SCADA, blending systems, dosing systems, fault detection systems, smart instruments, etc. Enterprise process historians should be the system of record for all operating data and should support achieving a ‘single source of truth’ for the plant. The desire to have a single source of truth for all data types that can be consumed in decision making and execution is driving IT/OT convergence. How enterprise process historians are leveraged, both on-site and remotely, is crucial for business continuity and advancement toward increasingly autonomous operations. This presentation will showcase how new processes and techniques around remote monitoring, data extraction and advanced analytics enabled Kuraray to maintain situational awareness and visibility into key plant operations whilst social distancing during COVID-19.
