Business Insight

With data clarity and predictive modelling, today’s information becomes insight into tomorrow. A Business Insight module can provide dashboards, interactive charts, customized reports and drill-down capabilities to understand the context of any potential event. It’s possible to configure views for any group or role.

Risk Management

Effective risk management is based on the true state of critical assets. OSyS customers are able to better visualise multiple information streams, or risk measures, to find the right balance for

―revenue opportunities

―operational and maintenance costs

―compliance considerations and issues.

For example, based on parameters that can be modelled, an operator may choose to delay maintenance on certain equipment because the short-term revenue opportunity outweighs the predicted drop in performance, with no effect on safety.

Analytics

Advanced analytics uncover the trends and implications hidden within data. From detecting the single critical event , to analysing the nature of vast volumes of production data, OSyS has an appropriate tried-and-tested analytic technique available. The OSyS Platform incorporates some of the most advanced methods for

―event history
―feature detection

―trend analysis
―diagnostics

and provides information in easily-consumed and understood formats.

Process Automation

Intuitive automation saves time and improves process quality. Paper-based transactional processes are slow, error-prone and divert attention from improving the process to running the process. The OSyS Platform automates processes and change management through data capture, information exchange and reporting via a collaborative system available enterprise-wide.

Workflow

Escalate events to the right people, and close out with prompted input to improve workplace efficiency.
Information is valuable only when delivered to the right people at the right time. Workflow features such as alerts, notifications and controlled escalations―all integrated with email and SMS services―ensure events are managed according to standardized policies and designated respondents. Alerts direct attention to actions which exceed recommended parameters.

Mobile

A more effective workforce has access to information wherever they are. Being time zone-agnostic is essential. Widely distributed, global operations and companies with key staff on the move, in transit, need real-time information access. Decisions are made in customer locations, on-site, and information from the field can affect time-dependent actions. The OSyS Platform keeps solutions in tune with mobile requirements and mobile opportunities.

Data Management

Making the right decisions relies on the value of information provided. Data volumes are increasing exponentially, but in many companies held in isolated silos, and therefore, inconsistent and of questionable quality. The OSyS Technology Platform helps consolidate multiple data sources, assess and improve the quality and increase data confidence throughout the organization.

Data Acquisition

Without data, decisions are uninformed. In OSyS we provide a number of acquisition methods, from simple fixed or mobile data input, to intelligent acquisition from complex assets. We integrate with data historians, plant process computers, ERP systems, OPC compliant sources, and many other systems. We also but acquire data from less obvious sources such as emailed laboratory report files, structured maintenance messages, intercepted sensor readings, or even by fitting additional data recording capability. We are experts in acquiring the data our that serves our high-value solutions.
