Automated Evaluation of Biochemical Plant KPIs based on DEXPI Information

Abstract

Implementation of data‐based key performance indicators (KPIs) within existing plants usually requires a thorough manual analysis of the plant topology to define which sensors could provide reliable information for calculating the KPIs. In this publication, we propose an assistance system that automates this process. First the automatic linkage between plant structure and operational data is presented for the evaluation of the process efficiency. Next, a concept and prototypical implementation of the evaluation of predefined KPIs is described. The plant structure is described according to the DEPXI specification, while a rule‐based framework was developed to depict the process‐engineering knowledge. The proposed methods have been validated in an experimental setup. It could be shown that with standardized inputs, a generic extendable evaluation of the plant performance can be achieved.

Online Process Safety Performance Indicators Using Big Data: How a PSPI Looks Different from a Data Perspective

“…There are different types of measurements for performance: financial or operational [18,19]. The rationale for performance measurement is that measurement leads to performance management which should lead to performance improvement Bititci, Carrie and McDevitt, 1997, as cited in [20].…”

AI in Process Industries – Current Status and Future Prospects

“…Thus, the ML model serves as a basis for computer-supported process development [22]. Besides the specific application of AI to engineering data, the focus was also on using harmonized data as a basis to ensure the reusability of the models and to address a broad range of users from different fields [23,44,49]. Standardized P&IDs in DEXPI format are used as the data basis, which are available as graph-structured data.…”

“…Prof. Urbas koordiniert das Verbundprojekt KEEN zu diesem Thema. Im Rahmen dieses Projekts wurden Methoden zur Erkennung von Stro ¨mungsregimes in begasten Beha ¨ltern mittels Bilddaten erforscht [94], Werkzeuge zur Integration derartiger komplexer Datenquellen in modulare Anlagen entwickelt [95] und eine Methode zur automatischen Evaluation von biochemischen KPIs auf Basis von DEXPI-Informationen erarbeitet [96]. Die Erfahrung zeigt, dass die großen Datenmengen, die in der Prozessindustrie vorhanden sind, ha ¨ufig leider nur wenig Information enthalten.…”
