This data and information is manipulated in a coordinated manner by tools, such as optimization and modeling tools and is redistributed to other areas or tools where it is used to perform overall better or more optimal control, maintenance and business activities. Information or data pertaining to the health, variability, performance or utilization of a device, a loop, a unit, etc. may be collected by maintenance functions, and this information is then sent to a process operator or maintenance person and displayed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
