Aspen Process Explorer™

A collection of process-centric data analysis and reporting tools for displaying and manipulating data in real-time to improve manufacturing performance

Aspen Process Explorer is a powerful process-centric environment for facilitating the organization, display, and analysis of information about your process. It delivers real-time process data to the desktop where managers, engineers, and operators can apply it to make better decisions and improve performance. Aspen Process Explorer is a core element of AspenTech’s aspenONE® Production Management and Execution applications.

Features

  • Process data can originate from Aspen InfoPlus.21® or other relational databases
  • Uses the industry-standard Microsoft® Windows environment; the same techniques used in other Windows programs can be used in Aspen Process Explorer
  • Displays and controls can be incorporated into pages on an intranet with Aspen IP.21 Process Browser - enables enterprise-wide access with an ordinary web browser
  • Displays and controls can be created and customized using the VBA toolkit
  • Graphics and Plotting Tools:
    • Trending Tool - Plots time-based trends of real-time and historical data from the database; the user may place as many trends as required on a single display, limited only by the graphical resolution of the display device
    • Legend Tool - Creates a list of tags that are trended in a Plot; users have access to embedded ad-hoc calculations (complex calculations and statistical calculations are available using Aspen Calc™ and Aspen Real-time Statistical Process Control Analyzer)
    • Time Control Tool – A unique and comprehensive tool for fast and simple specification of time frames for both plots and displays
    • XY Plot – Plots values of one tag verses values of another tag over the same time span.  The XY plot also features ad-hoc embedded calculations for quick what-if analysis
    • Tag Browser - Searches the database for the required tags for plots; searches may span multiple Aspen InfoPlus.21 servers and other data sources
    • Excel Add-in – Displays data from Aspen InfoPlus.21 in Excel spreadsheet cells for quick what-if analysis
    • Process Graphics Builder and Viewer – Provides an environment for creating visualization of process schematics, SPC charts, and real time data, such as temperatures and flows

Benefits

  • Simplifies routine engineering analysis tasks such as examining and comparing process data
  • Makes it easy to understand and respond to changing process conditions
