Remove Barriers

" If it takes more than 10 minutes, it can wait. "

This is the way most of us work. There are too many fires, urgent issues and management responsibilities that need immediate attention. If building a group of trends, analyzing data from 3 different systems, or viewing average tag values for your last 10 grade runs takes 30 minutes, it will wait, and wait, and wait. PARCView takes the labor out of doing these tasks, increasing the volume of information viewed by all employees. Your company's ROI for these systems comes from the masses viewing information frequently. PARCView will provide a significant multiplier to your return. With PARCView's Universal Tag Browser, wise use of screen estate and easy drag & drop functionality, anyone can build a 16 trend display with 3 tags on each trend, pulling data from 5 different data sources in the matter of minutes.

Empower Operators

PARCView is specifically designed with operators in mind. Firstly, the simplicity of our user interface enables operators to finally benefit from data systems like PI, IP21, PHD and MOPS. Secondly, using screen real estate wisely enables large amounts of information to be displayed on a monitor. Finally, troubleshooting tools and ease of adding tags with the drag & drop tag browser gives operators the right tool for their job. Capstone urges customers to implement multi-monitor systems in their control rooms. The 4 to 8 monitors are driven from one PC, mouse & keyboard so operators can track hundreds of their key variables simultaneously. This proactive, empowering approach has proven invaluable in our customer's drive for continuous improvement and lean manufacturing.

Solve Plant Floor Problems

Spend your time solving problems, troubleshooting, identifying control opportunities and understanding your process. Launch a 12 trend display containing 50 variables. Expand the time span to 24 hours from 8 hours. Notice a rise in steam temperature and zoom into this upset. Now sync up the other 11 trends on this display. You think you see a bump at the same point on another trend? Drag and drop the tag onto the steam temperature trend. Quickly set a 5 minutes time lag on this trend, right-click and select an X-Y plot. Looks like a correlation. The number of problems solved, speed of resolution and process knowledge gained will increase dramatically with PARCView.

One Application, Many Data Sources

Using PARCView's Dataseries technology, the application layer is separated from the data layer. This architecture enables one client application, PARCView, to display data from all data systems. Easily view data from your process historian, HMI, lab, quality, MRP and financial systems on the same displays. Using PARCView's universal tag browser, information from these various systems our organized and searchable from process trees removing the need of users to understand where the data is coming from. Reduce your training, deployment and maintenance costs related to supporting several user applications. Eliminate the time and cost involved in analyzing data from different systems. Empower people to make quicker, better decisions making the company money.

All the Data, All the Time

The need for data compression is quickly becoming obsolete as prices of disk space continue to fall. To understand control issues and equipment behavior you can't be second guessing the data and compression algorithm. Our motto is all the data, all the time. With PARCServer this is what you'll get. We are only limited by the update rate of the DCS. In most cases, with PARCServer you will get 1 to 5 second data. We also believe in having all the tags. There is no per tag licensing structure with PARCServer. One price, all the tags, all the data.
