Improve plant efficiency by increasing output and reducing costs
You may have already reached a practical limit on the improvements possible with traditional process automation. So what do you do when management and customers demand that you do even more with even less? These courses show how you can go beyond the limited capabilities of traditional automation architectures and use predictive intelligence to increase output and reduce costs - for plant efficiency improvements of 2% or more.

Improving profitability through structured metrics
There are several ways you can optimize your process to improve profitability. But it can be difficult to understand the overall effectiveness of a complex operation so you can decide where to make improvements. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) can help. Learn how you can use this structured metric to evaluate the health and reliability of your process and equipment.

OEE 104 - Quality
OEE 105 - How can PlantWeb impact OEE?
Reduce cost and increase availability with streamlined maintanence
A well-managed maintenance program can improve the bottom line by increasing plant uptime, throughput, and quality. But inefficient maintenance practices can eat into profits. See how to optimize the positive impact of maintenance by viewing it in terms of both cost reduction and operational improvement.
