Presentation: Real-time silo dashboard

Coöperatie Avebe U.A. is an international Dutch starch and proteins manufacturer located in the north of the Netherlands. Avebe has two types of starch factories: starch factories and derivative factories. The starch factories produce native potato starch. The derivative factories produce starch derivatives (modified starch) by physically, enzymatically, or chemically treating native starch to change its properties. Native starch is stored in silos at different locations. To supply the derivative factories with the native starch a transport company has a dedicated pool with a limited amount of silo trucks for Avebe. The transport company has to make a shipment planning such that all factories can continuously operate. To reduce the risk of downtimes and increase the planning efficiency Avebe has developed a real-time silo dashboard for the planners and truck drivers. The dashboard is build PI Vision and utilizes the functionalities of the PI Asset Framework.
