Scientific Talk: PI System and Shiftconnector: Improving OEE and Collaboration

This video shows best practices of how chemical manufacturers integrate the PI System and Shiftconnector to create a performance toolkit for the operator teams. See how PI Tags and Event Frames are used to calculate performance targets, visualize batch cycle times and analyze process variations. Learn how visualized Event Frames can be the starting point for collaboration between shift supervisors, operators, process engineers and automation experts to understand root causes and to continuously improve plant productivity. 

The session shows a mature solution for

• Collaborating on the shop floor with Event Frames data and Shiftconnector
• Visualizing batch cycle times, process variations and OEE losses
• Calculating performance targets and identifying bottlenecks from Event Frames
• Enriching PI Data with loss reason codes and root cause information
• Digitizing shift documentation and department communication
