Overall Satisfaction with Visual KPI

  1. Visual KPI was implemented at one area initially then expanded to the rest of the site. It has been used by mostly shift supervisors, area managers, and plant managers.
  2. Used to monitor key business KPIs
    1. Shift Supervisors: shift downtime, machine downtime, prolonged maintenance window, total production (planned vs. actual)
    2. Area Supervisors: actual production vs. planned for a particular area, total downtime
  • User Adaptation: due to simple and easy to use interface
  • Data collected from various technological platforms & data flow is seamless- PLC/SCADA/LIMS
  • Quicker ROI : Due to quick deployment & minimum requirement for infrastructure
  • Geolocation & mapping features for the maintenance team to find the problem area at quicker time
  • Intelligent prediction & AI
  • Deep integration is limited to OSISoft's PI AF; bit time consuming for large integration for other historians > mapping hierarchy
  • Template to create Apps like OEE, Cycle time etc for rapid deployment
  • Duration to realize the benefit is less
  • OpEx requirement is steady since system is very robust
  • Minimum to no training required for users; VisualKPI is very intuitive
1. Cost model/ license structure is simple and meet the purpose
2. Large functionalities available & opportunity to extend in future
3. Quicker ROI realization / budget approval/ quicker deployment
4. Huge range of integration capability with data sources
5. Security standards that meet organization's requirement
6. Self service mode; very less to no expense to train workforce due to simple & intuitive interface
