Who can use ProMV Online?If you're currently using ProMV to build offline multivariate models of your processes, you'll need little help from ProSensus to use ProMV Online to run your models against live data from your systems. If your process engineers are new to multivariate analysis and don't currently use ProMV, however, we recommend starting with the offline version of the software and taking a ProSensus course. Experienced users of ProMV can often benefit from the consulting services offered by ProSensus if they want to customize the software to meet specific needs. |

User-friendly for operators.Information from real-time monitoring can benefit your process, but only if your operators are tuned in to the messages the software is sending. ProMV Online is easy for operators to learn—they can access key information in an intuitive way from any computer connected to the process network. Displays and other aspects of the program can be customized to better reflect process realities and operator needs, so you get the maximum benefits from putting your ProMV models online. |
The hard evidence for soft sensors.Software sensors—or soft sensors—are "virtual instruments" that allow you to characterize key aspects of your processes in real time, under challenging circumstances that aren't appropriate for hardware sensors. Soft sensors created with ProMV use multivariate statistical methods, which offer a number of significant advantages: they can handle "noisy" and missing data, test the validity of incoming information and compute realistic and valid confidence intervals on the predictions the sensor is making. The bottom line? You can feel secure that soft sensors built with ProSensus software will provide accurate, reliable real-time predictions of process behavior or product quality, which can be used to troubleshoot and optimize your processes. You can build soft sensors using the offline version of ProMV. Then, once you start monitoring your processes in real time with ProMV Online, you can use this soft sensor prediction to adjust your process on the fly. Learn more |

Case study: See the forest and the trees.Irving Pulp & Paper produces hardwood and softwood grades of kraft pulp, and its mill has received international recognition for environmental performance and innovation. No surprise, then, that Irving chose ProSensus to create a software sensor that would predict the quality of lime, a key ingredient in their lime kiln pulping process. Using real-time process measurements together with images from a camera in the kiln, ProSensus was able to develop a "soft sensor" that predicted product outcome and allowed operators to make adjustments on the fly to optimize results. |
The OPC Foundation advantageProSensus is a member of the OPC Foundation, an international organization dedicated to standardizing the communication of information between machines used in manufacturing processes. The goal is open connectivity through open standards—in other words, when we use ProSensus software and servers with your plant control devices, the two will talk together using the same language. Being OPC compliant is ProSensus's guarantee that we can connect to the controllers and sensors used by your processes and retrieve the data you require to optimize your batches, monitor your processes and respond appropriately to alarms. |
