Case Study: Toray achieves greater production efficiency with TrendMiner

Through communication, process control management, and data analytics, engineers improve overall performance and plant safety

Toray, a multinational industrial materials company, wanted to eliminate paper-based data collection and spreadsheet analysis in its plants. Engineers were manually recording equipment behavior, sometimes in hot and dangerous conditions, and Toray needed a better way to understand process data using TrendMiner’s advanced analytics and self-service monitoring.

With TrendMiner, Toray connected historian data, created conditional tags and monitors, and enabled alerts and analysis for process engineers across the organization. The solution helped Toray move to real-time operational insight, reduce nuisance and manual work, and speed root cause analysis and troubleshooting from hours or days to much less time, improving productivity, safety, and production efficiency.
