Today's global aluminum industry is very competitive; industry participants need a competitive edge and, ideally, a unique niche to remain in business. Geff Wood, Director, GPP (Global Primary Products) IPS Automation Center of Excellence (CoE) Smelting/Casting at Alcoa, explained how his company is using OSIsoft's technology to improve operational intelligence and reduce process variability. Alcoa's "SMART manufacturing" initiative employs a connected infrastructure to connect disparate and/or siloed data sources. In this manner, the company can provide operations and management personnel with the actionable, in-context intelligence needed to make better decisions relative to the company's extensive smelting operations.
Minimizing Process Variability
Alcoa previously faced process variability challenges and needed a way to analyze and view operations for more effective process management and decision support. Along with other industry participants, the multi-material powerhouse must continuously reduce costs to remain globally competitive and profitable.
To help access, aggregate, and analyze data from multiple sources and get the needed information to the appropriate resources via dashboards and reports, the company implemented OSIsoft's connected infrastructure operations intelligence solution.
