2020 - OSIsoft PI World San Francisco - Chemical
Process Analytics Digital Transformation at Eastman
In this session, we will demonstrate real, unique use cases for Event Frames developed by Eastman’s Digital Manufacturing team for global bulk and batch chemical manufacturing as well as film production. Users will see example visualizations in use on manufacturing floors as well as some Asset Framework setup. You will learn about what worked well, a few things that didn’t, and limitations. Finally, we will discuss the demonstrated benefits to communication, event reaction time, and accountability for both operations and staff.
