Batch processing operations frequently require data reconciliation, aggregation and validation, driving a need for seamless data mobility to bring critical data to varied technologies across the enterprise. However, integrating control system data — critical to making key business decisions — can be difficult, costly and risky using traditional technologies.
DeltaV Edge Environment 2.0 bridges the gap between operational technology control systems and information technology-focused applications with one-way egress of control system data via a secure, read-only replica of contextualized DeltaV distributed control system data. Armed with comprehensive control data for use in tools at the edge or in the business cloud, teams can overlay batch data with process values to identify performance deviations during batch runs. Increased visibility into batch health empowers teams to intervene earlier to prevent costly, off-specification batches.
DeltaV Edge Environment 2.0 can integrate with the control system configuration hierarchy, helping clarify how configuration changes impact batch execution. OT teams also gain the ability to correlate batch-related alarms and events with other system events to identify root causes of production issues quickly and effectively.
