For some time now we have been working hard to provide our customers with a more integrated and customisable view of all aspects of Operations Suite. Historically we assessed our customers needs and then developed a fairly unique set of reports or view of their data, and then provided a “Portal” page, from which they can access certain aspect of the Suite. These developments were mostly around IntelliPERMIT. Many of our customers will be familiar with the “Smart Portal” screen, which was the original concept.

The ApplyIT Development Labs have subsequently been very busy in enhancing the concept, which should be available in the next major release on Operations Suite.

We have taken the industry experience over the past few years and from all our integration projects, and looking at what our customers are doing with our operations, safety, health & environment solutions, and have come up with something that will allow us to finally consolidate all aspects of Operations Suite, as well as providing insight into third party systems to provide you with the most pertinent information to facilitate good operational decisions in real time.

Data from all current modules in Operations Suite will be consolidated and displayed in various graphical forms and indicators. These could include trends, KPI indexes, common tasks and alerts etc.  This will provide production managers with highly relevant information and an overall view of your plant at any given time.  Unlike many best of breed systems, Operations Suite is unique in its in depth and comprehensive coverage of SHEQ and operations information, resulting in a comprehensive set of operations, safety, health, environmental performance indicators.  The concept is not another real time process control dashboard, it goes to the heart of the key production metrics which include process control, human interactions, people task based processes and engineering information.

Past experience has also taught us that a universal one size fits all “Snap Shot” also does not really cut it, so end user customisation is being taken into consideration during the current design phase.

As development progresses, we will be keeping you up to date with this specific development, and you can look forward to some very interesting and informative additions to Operations Suite.
