Rapid Process Troubleshooting

CSense offers fast-track process improvement software to rapidly troubleshoot your process and determine where the improvement points are. The table below holds a summary of the products we offer.

Product	Value and User	Examples
CSense Continuous Troubleshooter	• Rapidly determine causes for process problems from data for continuous processes • Plant Historian complementor • Used by Process Engineers	• Causes for poor throughput, grade, yield, energy • Paper weight, moisture, tension • Exceptions in temperature, unwanted frequencies • Improvement of recovery
Discrete Troubleshooter	• Rapidly determine causes for differences between good and bad batches and products in discrete/batch production • Plant Historian and/or other history • Process Engineers, Quality Managers	• Profiling good ("golden") vs bad batches • Causes for poor batches • Causes for surface defects • Causes for other quality problems such as cracks • Causes for detrimental events such as break-outs
CSense Action Object Server	• CSense Server platform to execute real-time solutions such as Advanced Process Control, Decision Support and other Advanced Process Solutions • Operators, Management, process engineers	• Real-time platform enables the implementation of high measurable returns in throughput, quality, energy etc. when engineered properly • Returns can be hundreds of thousands to millions of Dollars per year
CSense Cause+	• Real-time causes for process deviations • Embedded in SCADA as ActiveX • Used by operator, configured by engineer	• Real-time causes and actions on operator level determined by Troubleshooters above • SIMPLE to configure and use, little training required
CSense Process+	• Online condition-based performance management of PID loops • Used by C&I and Plant Manager	• Correction of "unknown" poorly performing PID loop can have dramatic business benefits • Typically for customers with 50+ PID loops • Recommended building block for APC apps
