Case Study: Biomass Power Station improves alarm management and KPI reporting with ProcessVue

ProcessVue Improves Alarm Management & KPI Reporting at Biomass Power Station

A biomass power station required easier and faster access to its plant process data to improve alarm management and KPI reporting for analyzing production upsets. They engaged ProcessVue, a software suite from MAC Solutions, to address this challenge.

ProcessVue was implemented, connecting to the station's Siemens PCS 7 system to collect, archive, and analyze alarm data. This provided engineers with clear KPI reporting and the ability to perform root cause analysis on plant upsets. The measurable impact was significant, with the software identifying nuisance alarms and reducing the overall alarm load by 30% within the first month of installation.
