 Visualization
Plantys has unique capabilities in this area and can offer a truly best-in-class solution.
Often clients use simplistic visualizations that are unable to leverage the rich information that is already
available in data for decision making.

VISUALIZATION Plantys has expertise in developing visualizations using various software packages.
SOFTWARE The choice of software package to use depends on various factors e.g.

For a very rich and complex interactive visualization D3.js is the best choice.
Power BI is very powerful and easy to use, but depending upon client's existing
licensing of Microsoft products, the Power BI software may either be available free of
cost or entail a significant expense.

D3.js Power BI DevExpress Caleydo Tableau

OUR
APPROACH
Plantys starts with a team discussion involving the client's personnel in order to understand the requirements
and then come up with the best design.
Some features are
Story-telling approach
Selective disclosure of information by drill-down capability
Interactive e.g. ad-hoc pivot table, OLAP, selectable tags & time-range
Self-Service dashboard
Update with live-streaming data
Mobile access
Plantys has developed an extensive library of visualizations. Some of these are based on the best practices
employed in a broad-range of disciplines. Very often there are use-cases where such visualizations are a
perfect fit and add a significant value above the alternative.
(Visualization experts and data scientists are in short-supply globally. Plantys is particularly strong in this area.)

 Open IoT, ERP, CRM, LMS | Server Management
Plantys works with a few leading open source partners in some key areas such as IoT, ERP, CRM and LMS.
These open-source software are being rapidly adopted in the industry in view of the fast innovation, large
developer community and lower cost of ownership.

Open Source real-time historian and IoT platform

Plantys recommends and works with Influxdata platform both as an open source
real-time historian and for IoT applications.
InfluxData supports millions of writes per second, meeting the demands of even the
largest monitoring and IoT deployments. With native clustering, InfluxData offers
high availability eliminating single points of failure and simple scale-out.

Open Source ERP & CRM

For new ERP and CRM applications, Plantys recommends and has expertise in the
following software
ERPNext (light-weight and infinitely extensible)
Odoo (used by large companies such as Toyota and Hyundai)

Open Source LMS

In the LMS (Learning Management System) space, Plantys has expertise in the
following open-source development platforms
Moodle
Totara
Fully customized LMS using any PHP framework (e.g. Laravel, CodeIgniter)

Plantys can arrange a demo for any of the above applications

Server Management
Plantys offers turnkey sever management both in the cloud and on client's premises. Our services include
migration, application installation, backups, disaster recovery and security administration. In all cases, we
offer 24/7 live phone and chat support with customer support ticketing management.

Plantys provides turnkey Cloud Solutions from most major providers including Google, Amazon, Microsoft,
Rackspace and Digital Ocean. Services include design, deployment, infrastructure optimization & security,
while covering both Public and Private Cloud.
Plantys also supports Hybrid and Multi-Cloud environments. Hybrid-Cloud environments (that include public/
private cloud, dedicated servers and on-premises servers) make sense in certain scenarios.
o Application Optimization - Certain tasks run best or at lowest cost in certain platforms.
o Sometimes the cost of migrating legacy apps just for the sake of standardization isn't justified.
o Sometimes it is better to go for Hybrid Cloud environment just for the sake of vendor diversification (to
avoid Vendor Lock-in).

Key differentiators of Plantys solution

Synergistic software development exploiting the relative strengths of OSIsoft platform, open source
technologies (including MySQL, Java, Angular) and Microsoft technologies (.Net, MS-SQL) in order to best meet
the client's needs.
Next-Gen HTML5/ JavaScript User-Interface provides lightning-fast, touch-first, flexible controls for enterprise
applications.
Web based interface that works on any device (tablet, smartphone, PC).
Works both on a enterprise-only network or across the internet with proper authentication.
Decades of domain knowledge and expertise in the process industry.
Plantys believes that each client's requirement is unique and hence the best solution for that client is also
unique. Rather than force-fitting the client's needs to an off-the-shelf software product, we believe in delivering
a custom solution that leverages the latest technologies to meet the desired requirements exactly, without any
unnecessary bloatware.
 Consulting
In addition to the previous items, Plantys offers consultancy in a few niche areas where it has the expertise.
These areas include DCS/ SCADA graphics design, Custom software development and LNG project
consultancy.

DCS/SCADA graphics design

With a deep understanding of the state-of-the-art in Graphics, combined with decades of worldwide experience,
Plantys is in a unique position to do an independent assessment and advise the best way forward for Graphics
implementation/ upgrade.

There may be deficiencies in graphics due to several reasons

o Graphics may have been built before the ASM consortium's recommendations were published,
o Graphics may have been built with P&IDs as the only guide, as opposed to following ASM
recommendations and best practices for high performance HMIs,
o The right object library (typicals, dynamos, etc.) may not have been used either due to lack of
availability or due to time pressures in meeting deadlines,
o Graphics may have been developed offshore using a standardized one-size-fits-all approach with
inadequate opportunity for client input.

Graphics deficiencies could lead to several problems

Additional operating positions are needed versus what is required with well-designed graphics. (Note that the
proper way as per EEMUA-201 is to first do an operator task analysis, then determine the number of screens
needed and then only determine the number of required operating positions).
Potential regulatory non-compliance with EEMUA-201 and ISA-101 standards. (Note that in the 2005 BP Texas
City incident, poor operator graphics were found to be one of the contributory factors that led to the accident).

Plantys value proposition

Our best practice is to have only a few overview operating graphics that are displayed at all times. The operator
should be able to work off these graphics 98% of the time. The rest 2% of the time, the operator would need to
drill down to a more detailed graphic.
This approach is generally achievable in all DCS systems provided the graphic objects are managed carefully
so as to display the maximum relevant information while still keeping the data loading within the DCS limits.

Custom software development

Plantys has domain expertise in custom software development and is on the forefront of exploring &
implementing new technologies. We can develop virtually any application on any platform. This is
possible by virtue of our extensive network of specialist developers and partners around the world.
One of our custom applications is 'Multivariable Control Performance Monitoring' as described in
the publication Analyzing APC Performance.

LNG project consultancy

Plantys has some unique expertise & insights for LNG projects design, execution and operations,
specifically in the areas of Instrumentation, Controls and Operator Training Simulators.
Plantys Alarms Suite
Plantys Alarms Suite is a typical implementation of our Industry 4.0 framework.
Delivers continuous improvement in alarm performance as a part of routine plant personnel tasks. This
is made possible by incorporating the 'breakthrough' Automated Work Flow process.
Provides a comprehensive solution for every aspect of ISA-18.2 Alarm Management Lifecycle - includes
master alarm database, big data analytics, training, philosophy development & rationalization.

Current Industry benchmark for Alarms - Unacceptable & Unsafe !

Generally, all of the process industries are severely non-compliant with the alarm KPI's as per ISA-18.2 (see
table below). This puts both the personnel and plant assets at risk.
The onus is thereby on the management to do everything possible to comply with the standards and ensure
plant safety.
Plantys will work with you to deliver the best fit-for-purpose solution.

Alarm Visualization and automated workflow

Transforms Alarm KPI data into rich visuals using a live dashboard that helps monitor the business health
and spot trends.

Provides a single, unified, live interface for all plant personnel - Management, Operations, Engineering,
Maintenance, Shutdown planners, etc. This is made possible by having a continuously updated list of all
alarm bad actors (e.g. frequent, standing, disabled, flooding) along with all relevant information.
Shows the current and historical information for all actions taken for resolving an alarm issue. These may
be text actions, ERP notifications, permits, etc. and can be added manually or automatically.
Automatically highlights any non-compliances, overdue & missing tasks.
Enables users to update actions, actionee, follow-up date, etc. as needed.

Shows day-wise historical alarm performance of the tag for last 30 days in the form of square glyphs (as
shown on next page). The different colors of the squares indicate the type of alarm on that day.
Additionally, a comment can be made for any of these glyphs just by clicking on it with the presence of the
comment indicated by a black square around i
 Overdue dates are indicated in red, missing actions for bad actor alarms are indicated by a red underline, etc.

Breakthrough Automated workflow

All changes are tracked by automatically capturing the username and the date change was made.
This process automates the workflow between the groups because each group (Operations, Engineering,
Maintenance, Shutdown planners, etc.) can view all alarms in their area, find non- compliances and then take
action.
Historical info is available by clicking on the tag's hyperlink. This brings up a pop-up window as shown below.

Other features
Any KPI, standard or best practice can be configured in system. This automates previously manual tasks.
The unified interface also enables proposing, editing and approving alarm help, alarm disabling and
operator shift handover tasks.
Can interface with any ERP system (e.g. SAP), any permit system or any similar database so as to provide
latest information on the current notifications, etc.
Can serve as the repository for all alarms, events and operator changes, even replacing or augmenting the
DCS/ Historian for long-term data storage.
Generates rich interactive reports that are also accessible from mobile.

Alarm Big Query

Enables easy querying of years of alarms & event data. Can include process changes if needed.
Can use simple SQL like query or even natural language query to greatly facilitate ad-hoc analysis.

Master Alarm Database

A master alarm database is required as per the standards - ISA-18.2, IEC-68262 and EEMUA-201.
The following features are included.
o Change management of alarm parameters including change tracking and approval management.
o A tool for facilitating systematic alarm rationalization process and documenting the results.
o Customization specific to the DCS or SCADA make.
o Caters to both individual parameter changes as well as standard/ heuristic based bulk changes.

Big Data Alarm Analytics

The analytics application mines historical alarm data to automatically identify redundant alarms for
possible removal. This application is based on the following publication.

"Large-Scale Industrial Alarm Reduction and Critical Events Mining using Graph Analytics on Spark" - By Sam Ade Jacobs
2016 IEEE Second International Conference on Big Data Computing Service & Applications

Other Alarm Services

Audits of alarm performance (pre- & post implementation).
Automated alarm suppression.
Alarm philosophy development. Big benefits are realizable by reclassifying Alarms as Maintenance Alerts.
Remote alarm services e.g. weekly audits and action tracking.
MINING - Industry 4.0 opportunities
In Australian mining sector, digital can increase profit by 30% to 60% and reduce cost/ton by 20%. This will be
enabled primarily by the end-to-end integration of real-time performance monitoring, optimization, and control.
