CSense Troubleshooter

What is CSense Troubleshooter?

CSense Troubleshooter is powerful analytical tool that utilises leading-edge techniques to extract knowledge from existing historical process and manufacturing plant data.  These tools are used off-line to identify causes for production problems and identify the opportunity for preventing these problems in the future.  The Troubleshooter can be used for batch, discrete as well as continuous processes.  It provides a user with the capability to visualise process problems and their causes through modeling and simulating the process by using available historical plant data.  CSense Troubleshooter enables the "Intelligent Historian" that is clearly differentiated from, and more valuable than competing historians.

CSense Troubleshooter adds value to a Historian by enabling multi-variate analysis of the historical data.  Based on this the Troubleshooter can:
• Obtain the likely causes of process problems & variation
• Extract process rules automatically from data
• Determine the causes for bad batches
• Obtain interrelationships between variables
• Estimate the benefits of implementing a real-time solution
• Build and simulate a real-time solution before later migrating it for on-line deployment in conjunction with other HMI, DCS or SCADA products.

Data has been logged in manufacturing for years. Analysis of that data has evolved from simple trend analysis with a time context to a full operations understanding of efficiency, quality, production management, and traceability. Troubleshooter facilitates the next step and uses advanced mathematic algorithms to gain greater insight into the process than before.  This delivers the knowledge required to improve quality and yield from production and process operations.
