Proficy Historian software provides access to all production and process data, thus building a foundation for users to transform their operations with accurate, timely production information.

The newest release of the PDMS 12 plant design software fully supports the Microsoft .NET user interface, which allows it to offer highly interactive 3D graphical editing functions for fast initial design and subsequent modifications. The program features extensive enhancements to the advanced engineering applications for designing equipment, piping, ductwork, structural steel and supports. A new function creates material and weight reports for the parametric design and easy modification of complex access platforms, stairs and ladder configurations.

Already useful for reducing maintenance and inventory costs, Flowstar.net now features hydraulic decoking enhancements that capture information related to rotary joints and jet pumps. The software tracks rotating equipment, such as pumps, mixers, compressors and mechanical seals, as well as their corresponding process data, failure history and any outstanding recommendations for improvement. Flowstar.net uses these data to generate reports detailing cost trends and savings, troublesome equipment, premature failures, and mean-time-between-failure trends.

EDEM simulation software predicts the movement of particles in industrial process equipment, allowing users to optimize and troubleshoot their designs without extensive physical testing. It is suitable for use in the chemicals, process, oil and gas and pharmaceutical sectors. The EDEM 1.3 version expands the software’s current ability to handle computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes, features a new electrostatics model, and provides a seamless connection to third-party, multi-body dynamics (MBD) codes.

Version 9 of Project Clock project time recording and billing software is an upgrade suitable for use by anyone who must accurately track time spent on different projects. It contains several important improvements, including updates to both the database and reporting engines. The complete rewriting of the web edition allows time entry using any web browser on virtually any operating system.

SmartPlant Instrumentation helps prevent failure by better managing and storing instrumentation and control data. It helps avoid unscheduled shutdowns by using the most up-to-date information for better planning and maintenance. SmartPlant Instrumentation brings all instrumentation information together so that it can be easily accessed and updated to ensure consistency across the different instrument tasks and deliverables.

Designed to work with infrared camera systems, Thermo Vision ExaminIR thermal analysis software features control, recording, playback analysis and reporting functions. It performs real-time image analysis and provides playback features to open and analyze image sequences stored on a camera or a PC. The software features an extensive set of thermal analysis and measurement tools, including spot, line, and area measurements. A new image-segmentation tool provides quick designation of complex regions of interest for precise data analysis.

DynaEIT is a suite of algorithms designed to solve electrical impedance tomography (EIT) problems. In EIT, the distribution of conductivity inside a container is determined by applying currents (or voltages) at locations along the container surface and measuring the voltages (or currents) at other locations. Equations for the electric field then provide relationships between measured voltages and currents and the conductivity distribution inside the domain.

Flowstar.net is an electronic database program designed to help reduce maintenance and inventory costs while proactively managing reliability and maintaining operational up-time for rotating equipment. Flowstar.net tracks rotating equipment, such as pumps, mixers, compressors and mechanical seals, as well as their corresponding process data, failure history and any outstanding recommendations for improvement.

Integrity 2.0 is the latest release of a highly successful automation-configuration-management solution software that is already installed at over 500 sites worldwide. This new version provides a single web view to all real-time data flow and automation assets across the plant, making it especially well-suited to meeting the needs of operations, maintenance and safety personnel at process manufacturing facilities.
