- by predicting the future, early detection of trends, strengthen the monitoring capacity of the production site -
TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Azbil Corporation began selling the English and Chinese versions of the Early Warning System for Time Series Data (hereinafter referred to as Early Warning System) software for monitoring the fluctuation of important process variables.

The Early Warning System software package, which was launched in 2013, continuously monitors the trend changes of time series data of important measurement values (process variables: "temperature", "pressure", "flow", "level", etc.), early detection of deviations in management values and release Early warning. The Early Warning System predicts and warns the future, and uses predictive warnings to monitor. Compared with the monitoring system (DCS) that issues warnings when the measured value reaches the warning set value, the warning monitoring adds early warnings by predicting the future, and The function of displaying change forecast before reaching the management value. Through the sales of English and Chinese versions, it aims to expand sales to the global market, especially Southeast Asia, China, and South Korea.
In the event of an abnormality in the equipment, in an emergency situation where DCS issues a large number of alarms, human errors such as alarm omissions may occur, and accidents may also occur as a result, and Early Warning System is a software package independent of DCS, which can supplement routines with predictive alarms The alarm function. For example, by forcing this trend to be displayed on a large display screen independent of the DCS display, it is possible to ensure a rapid and reasonable response under a team operation system. In this way, by combining with existing monitoring systems such as DCS, better results can be achieved.
In the past, the Early Warning System was mainly used by oil and chemical companies in Japan that had a high level of safety and security in their installations and actively used IoT technology. However, in order to stabilize the supply of tap water in daily life, the Early Warning System has also been applied Monitoring of water supply tanks and water quality and drainage equipment of tap water facilities. In addition, in order to stabilize the quality of medicines stipulated in laws and regulations and guidelines similar to laws and regulations, and to detect abnormal temperature fluctuations at an early stage, and to suppress deviations in management values, the application field of Early Warning System is expanding.
In addition, due to the growing demand for data-using solutions at overseas production sites, sales of English and Chinese versions have begun.
■Features
- The Early Warning System uses future predictions to capture trend changes and issue alarms before the measured value reaches the management value (an abnormality occurs), and operators and other field workers have sufficient time to deal with it. The estimated time to reach the threshold is calculated based on the forecast alarm, which provides a basis for judging a reasonable response.
- It can also predict fluctuations and sharp fluctuations that will worsen after the alarm is lifted, and improve the operator's "vigilance".
- The Early Warning System can replace the continuous monitoring of many important measurements. Strengthen the monitoring of the entire production site and reduce the workload.
- The use of the universal protocol (OPC-DA*1) is not limited by the system and the supplier, and DCS, PLC, PIMS*2, etc. can all be connected.
- No need to install a new sensor, and the user can use it after simple settings.
