Providing a Single Point for Accessing and Reporting

Historical and Batch Data

“We use the PI system internally to provide a single point to access batch and historical data from our ABB, Allen Bradley, Siemens and G.E. platforms”

Customer Business Challenge

Solution Customer Results / Benefits

The Challenge: Single data historian and reporting tool for multiple systems.

• Provide quick data retrieval for our legacy ABB MOD 300 DCS

• Provide a means for Batch comparison of campaign Batches

• Integrate and provide a means of reporting for our Siemens, Allen Bradley and G.E. systems

• Leverage our PI system to provide a means or retrieving data from our Unix based ABB MOD 300 DCS

• Using Batch View we can compare different batch runs from the same campaign

• Based on client needs we have the requirement to support specialized equipment

• Without the PI system it would take approximately 10 minutes per day per tag to retrieve the same data

• Comparing batch runs allow us to anticipate, recognize and correct problems that may arise

• Independent of the control system we always have the requirement to provide consistent data collection and reporting

Current Automation Systems

The Diosynth facility is divided into three main automation systems

ABB MOD 300 Unix Based System

• Currently controls most of the plant

• The historians interpolate data after

approximately 45 days from tapes for data

• Batch reports are generated by our in house

Batch Reporting System



ABB 800xA System

• Currently in the process of upgrading the MOD

300 system to the 800xA system

• Reporting is accomplished using Crystal Reports



Miscellaneous control systems

• G.E. Unicorn systems (chromatography skids),

reporting completed by local system

• Allen Bradley PLC’s (glass washers and

autoclaves), reporting by local printer

• Siemens PLC’s (disposable bioreactors), reporting

through ABB 800xA


The Problem

• The historians interpolates data after approximately 45 days from tapes for data

• This requires to us to retrieve information from tapes

• This process takes approximately 10 minutes per tag per day


The Solution

• Use the PI system to collect the data from the MOD

300 system

• This allows us to quickly retrieve data

• Also by implementing the PI Batch Database and

BatchView we are able to quickly retrieve run data


Benefit

• In order to pull a year’s worth of date for a single point it would take us approximately 36 hours to pull the data.

• It costs approximately $3600 dollars to pull the data.

$100 per hour * 36 hours = $3600

• It takes us approximately 30 minutes to pull the data from the PI system.

Savings = $3550


The Problem

• Identify issues and differences between batch runs in

a product campaign


The Solution

• Use Batchview and PI Module Database to compare

production runs in our manufacturing system


The Solution


Benefit

• The cost of losing a single batch of a product conformance run is almost equal to our the cost of our PI software.


The Problem

• Currently our glass washers and autoclaves print cycle

information on thermal and impact printers

• Thermal printer paper tends to fade over time.

Because of this we scan in all cycle information so that

we have long term records of our cycles.


The Solution

• Pull the cycle data into our PI system

• Purchase RtReports and develop cycle reports


Benefit

• It takes us approximately 1 hours to process the print out from a single glass washer cycle.

• Estimate 5 cycles a day

• Therefore if we pull the data into PI we can show a saving of almost $500 dollars a day. $100 * 5 hours = $500


Technical Benefits

• Data is “backed up” in a real-time fashion to the PI server

• Report generation is paperless since RtReports permits saving to PDF

• Will be able to remove thermal and impact printers on our autoclaves and glass washers

• Since we are able to compare campaign runs to each other we will be able to minimize the chances of losing a batch

• We can quickly retrieve process data


The Return on Investment

• The amount of time an engineer requires to retrieve data is 1/10 of the time required to pull data from backup tapes

• If we can prevent the loss of even a single batch the work and cost put into creating batch overviews will pay for itself

• By removing the thermal and impact printers from the plant we are reducing the cost of maintaining the printers which can be problematic


Solution Challenges

• Pulling the required information from our glass washers and autoclaves

• As we add the ability to overlay process development with manufacturing runs we have to align tags from different control systems with each other


Next Steps and Future Opportunities

• Upgrade to high availability PI servers

• Purchase RtReports and Webparts

• Add the ability to overlay process development batch runs with manufacturing batch runs

• Combine our batch reporting systems into a single batch reporting platform using the RtReports
