挑战
Sipchem, a globally recognized chemical manufacturer in Saudi Arabia, has always been committed to safety and environmental responsibility. The company continually works to follow international standards and improve processes surrounding safety, health, the environment, and security. In 2011, it became the first chemical manufacturing company in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to achieve the prestigious Responsible Care® certification. However, by 2011, the company was looking to take the next step. It wanted to adhere to industry best practices by implementing a new Management of Change (MOC) solution to improve its ability to ensure that the recommended changes were completed and implemented properly. The company had previously used several simple workflow systems to manage change. While these solutions could manage basic workflows, they were not designed by plant safety experts and lacked the sophistication to handle the change management processes and sub-processes necessary for chemical plants.
解决方案
Sipchem addressed its need for a sophisticated Management of Change (MOC) solution with the help of the Sphera Management of Change (MOC) solution. This solution was developed with a deep understanding of Sipchem's business pains. If modifications are necessary, the system’s configurability makes it easy for Sipchem to accommodate them without significant customization. As it grows and changes, Sipchem can easily add new users simply by entering their name and security role. The system’s ease of use makes it easier for Sipchem to ensure that users take advantage of the solution. Stature allows Sipchem to identify and track all of the risks associated with their MOCs and ensure that the safety team follows discreet, auditable processes to make the necessary changes. Sipchem can now also take advantage of auditing capabilities to prove both to itself and to auditors that it has done everything necessary to keep its plants safe.

Advanced Elastomer Systems Upgrades Production
In order to maintain its share of the international market for thermoplastic elastomers AES recently expanded its Florida plant by adding a new production line. While the existing lines were operating satisfactorily using a PROVOX distributed control system with traditional analog I/O, AES wanted advanced technology on the new line for greater economy, efficiency, and reliability. AES officials were anxious to get this line into production to meet incoming orders, but two hurricanes slowed construction.

Field Device Asset Management For Chemical Company in China
Chinese chemical subsidiary of multinational corporation serves customers throughout the world. Sales offices and research and technology centers are strategically located to provide rapid response to customer requests. Just two workers were assigned to maintain thousands of intelligent instruments in three production units, so they could do little more than react to device issues as they appeared. This costly maintenance method inevitably led to unexpected downtime when a critical instrument failed. Plant management recognized the need to change from reactive to predictive maintenance for all assets, including instruments and control valves, but help was needed in implementing such a technology-based initiative.
