Production Accounting and Data Reconciliation: Cornerstone of a Pacesetter MES Architecture
Many companies want more accurate and timely information about their production plants. Many struggled with economic justification. A number of application packages are available, but the solution lies not just with purchasing a software package. Sometimes the investment may be required to improve measurement accuracies. This investment is somewhat unclear which meters, tank gauging, weigh scales, custody station need improving? What are the new procedures consistent with Legal Metrology norm? Solution Emerson's consultants have experience in production accounting and measurement systems, from developing business cases to delivery of the final installed system. Sigmafine provides a modular, configurable approach with minimal effort. Benefits Companies often start out focused on just lost reduction, but the real benefits are in improving process models and achieving higher value product yields with better energy efficiency. Better utilization assets: tanks, jetties, loading racks and logistics infrastructure and early identification of processing problems are also real economic drivers.
