Machine learning for improved operator performance
In June, this company introduced the addition of Operator Advisor to its Experion Highly Augmented Lookahead Operations (HALO) suite. This powerful software solution enables plant owners to objectively measure gaps and drive operator effectiveness to the next level. This market-first solution presents users with a consolidated scorecard of enterprise automation utilization and recommended steps to address performance-related gaps. The solution uses machine learning (ML)-powered analytics to gather insights from enterprise data sources, such as distributed control systems (DCS), and funnel those insights into dashboards. These dashboards can provide operations managers and supervisors with a clear and complete view of operator performance and improvement opportunities. By understanding how operator actions, inactions and workload levels contribute to optimal production, organizations can develop targeted training programs, make strides toward autonomous operations and build process resilience — all of which can help them better compete in the digital age. HALO Operator Advisor will be available in October 2021. — Honeywell Process Solutions, Houston
