Expertune PlantTriage software continually monitors your plant to identify issues whenever they occur. It diagnoses issues, helps find the root cause, prioritizes according to economic and technical factors, and provides a complete set of analysis tools to resolve the problem at its source. This latest version of software includes enhanced cybersecurity, as well as new capabilities for improving sustainability, tuning control loops, and simplifying remote license management.
The latest sustainability improvements are focused on energy efficiency. The new “Energy saver” diagnostic report pinpoints controllers and valves that are contributing to loss of efficiency. The corresponding dashboard shows users how to make the improvements to save energy.
In addition, we have released application notes to help users use PlantTriage to automatically identify heat exchanger fouling, and to predict when heat exchanger cleaning will be required. This not only helps with energy efficiency, but also improves reliability by allowing time to prepare for a planned shutdown.
A new stand-alone licensing utility has been added to the system. Product license confirmation requires only one round-trip message. Expansion of your system (ex. additional loops) will not require any software update/installation.
