KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 13 -- Azbil Corporation has announced the global launch of the English and Chinese versions of its Early Warning System for Time Series Data (Early Warning System) in markets including Southeast Asia, China and Korea.
According to a statement, the Early Warning System, launched in Japan in 2013, is a software package that constantly monitors changes in time series data trends.
It is for important process variables like temperature, pressure, flow rate, and liquid level in order to alert operators to potential deviation from control values at an early stage.
Compared with alarm monitoring by a distributed control system (DCS), the Early Warning System’s predictive alarms have the advantage of early recognition, before control values are reached or safety devices operate.
In an emergency when something goes wrong with equipment and many DCS alarms activate, missed alarms or other human error may occur, leading to accidents.
The Early Warning System, however, is independent of the DCS and complements ordinary alarms with predictive ones.
In Japan, the system is used mainly by oil and chemical companies highly conscious of plant safety and security, and willing to utilise IoT technology but recently, it has also been used at water supply facilities to monitor distribution reservoirs, water quality, and drainage facilities to ensure stable tap water supply.
The system’s use has also expanded to include maintaining the quality of medical and pharmaceutical products as required by regulations.
