Plant Orchestrator Plant Orchestrator - is a Production Managers dream come true: It takes your best operating practices It turns them into dynamic operating strategies It then instructs your plant and machinery To repeat your best practices time after time. Furthermore, because the procedure is repeatable, it is possible to make minor changes, without changing other factors at the same time, further honing your techniques towards the optimum. Industry Focus See how Plant Orchestrator can be used to manage unit starts in Power Generation to reduce energy usage and minimise Plant Damage. Download Presentation Highlights Strategies are represented graphically in a Production Schedule format Colour coding is used to show progress and status of the plan The plan can reschedule itself to maintain optimum performance Each task may have multiple dependencies Progress of plan can be time driven, dependant on other process values or based on the results of calculations Strategy execution is recorded Strategies may be compared with each other Benefits More consistent Plant Operation Basis for controlled change and measurement - continuous improvement cycle Multiple parallel activities possible Reduce start-up times Reduce energy utilisation (waste fuel) Reduce plant damage: Improve Availability and delay or eliminate repair costs Items started when needed (not before) Reduce works power usage Reliable delivery to Customer Meet production deadlines Improve reputation / customer approval Captures Operator knowledge Forces debate and consensus Continually refine operating practices Define safe operating envelopes Reduce equipment wear and tear Extend asset life Training tool Succession management
