Pasteurization Unit Control & Optimization

Brand-New Process, Smartly Understood

The team needed visibility over a new pasteurization unit.

Key goals:

• View critical KPIs in real time
• Track anomalies and maintenance events
• Identify and prevent recurring issues
• Quantify production effectively

‍

The Approach

• Calculated KPIs: calculated pasteurized volume using tank derivatives and integral aggregations, capturing real process behavior.
• Asset Status & Trends: tracked status and performance trends of main assets to detect deviations early.
• Event Contextualization: used the enhanced data layer to link events with TSD, enabling direct visualization of recent shutdowns—such as an unexpected stop when starting Line 2.
• Pattern Recognition: compared similar historical events with the similarity search function to identify the root cause of shutdowns—in this case, line pressure was below the required level before startup.
• Integrated Monitors: created pressure monitors based on the root cause and integrated them into the dashboard for proactive alerts.

Insight

With these capabilities, you get a connected, contextualized view of process events, enabling faster root-cause analysis and preventing future shutdowns.
