Background: A large Asian refining major planned for LIS covering Design, Implementation, Training & Integration with:
Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
Refinery Scheduling & Oil Movement Application
Geographical Information System (GIS)
Analytical Instruments
Bar Coding System
The refinery lab handled:
350+sample points
500+analysis codes
1000+ analytical parameters
Custom COA reports
Test & Executive Management reports
BusinessObjective:
Increase the Lab efficiency & data quality through the provision of a lab automation system to automate key laboratory tasks & enable real-time information exchange of laboratory analytical result information to other stakeholders in manufacturing & executive management. The project requirements included automatic & on-demand reports, Laboratory Key Performance Indicator (KPI) reports & 5+ years of legacy data transfer.
Solution:
PerkinElmer’s LABWorks@ application soGware based solution implemented with integrations o AspenTech’s 21 based Manufacturing Execution System (through OPC)
AspenTech’s Orion Refinery Scheduler Application
Honeywell Oil Movement System Application
ESRI’sArc View-based Geographical Information System
Multiple Instruments from various vendors (through instrument PC)
Lab Process Scheduling
Multiple Complex reports
Approach:
Fully integrated system mapped with business processes went live & adopted by users, incorporating customer’s IT security policy & other unique requirements.
