PlantTriage software now automatically finds the root cause of process upsets. The latest advance, Root Cause Finder, automates the in-depth analysis that was previously performed by an experienced engineer. The software works by evaluating correlations between instrument readings throughout an entire manufacturing facility. Upsets that start in one part of the plant are reflected in the data patterns from other parts of the plant. By evaluating the correlations between these patterns, PlantTriage is able to determine the most likely sources of process variation. — ExperTune Inc., Hartland, Wisc.
