Product Demo: Supply Chain with Live Q&A

Demonstration of a business solution by Ales Soudek, one of OSIsoft's consulting system engineers. Usually there are several companies involved in a supply chain. This demonstration involves a phosphate mine where the ball mills are being monitored by a services company. The phosphate is then moved by rail by another company to the port where the shipping company takes over to load it onto ships and sent to destination. Different parts of this process are monitored by the PI System to enable smooth coordination between the different parties involved. The services company identifies a vibration problem with one of the ball mills. The visibility into the availability of the rail cars and the ships helps the mine with deciding whether to ramp up or ramp down production. The speaker will answer audience questions following their presentation.
