What are the big differences between the Measure and Optimize plans? Measure is the first step for treatment plants to adopt data driven operations. Measurement helps operations team measure what matters most, aggregate existing data sources, store institutional knowledge, automate workflows. Facilities starting their digital journey with limited historical data or integration of data driven decisions consider starting from Pani’s Measure plan. This provides the highest ROI and accelerates change management within the operations. The Optimize plan incorporates additional intelligence through process models and statistical machine learning approaches. This enables faster and improved decision making with either fault detections, process health insights, forecasting, process set-point optimums, or a combination of them all.

What kind of historical information does Pani process? Depending on the plan, Pani processes historical operating sensor data (through CSV exports from historian or PLC systems), historical lab data, key service and event logs, and plant’s process & instrumentation information (through flow sheets and P&I diagrams).

What is the full list of sensor data that Pani collects? For the Measure plan Pani collects as much data as the customer desires to integrate a data driven operation. This includes both instrument data and manual data collection, such as lab tests and field service logs. For the Optimize plan, depending on the type of process equipment and customer pain point, Pani suggests what instruments need to be captured online through PLC or manual inputs. Detailed list of sensors can be provided after an assessment of your plant operations needs. Contact us to learn more.

How long does it take to set up? The Measure plan set-up may be completed, in some cases, within a day and in other cases a few weeks. The Optimize plan usually takes 2-3 weeks at minimum and will take longer if your plant has a unique process that requires additional time for Pani implementation team to integrate models and calibrate.

How soon does Pani start offering results? Plant operations teams who fully integrate Pani’s tool in their day-to-day operations are the ones that get the highest value and quickest results. Exactly how quickly results show depends on the plant. In some cases, our customers start seeing a change in workflow and operations within the first couple weeks, while in others, it may take a couple of months for the team to integrate with the workflow and start making operational changes.

Is there a performance guarantee? Our standard offering does not provide plant performance improvement guarantees. At this point our product is limited to a decision support platform that provides analytics based on data being ingested. The benefits realized are a function of operators and engineers interpreting and, in turn, driving action on the analytics.

Can I cancel my plan if I need to? Yes. Our standard plans have annual cancellation terms. In our standard plants, you can cancel at the anniversary of your initial term subscription, or annual renewal for any reason. Unless otherwise stated in the agreement.
