• Asset360 is a smart analytics platform that captures, integrates, and analyzes data to optimize plant performance.

• Allows disparate/separate datasets from different systems to be viewed on a single platform.

• Process engineers remotely monitor data and suggest operational changes to lower energy and chemical costs and improve plant performance.

• KPI’s aggregated / integrated across any system.

• Direct / Calculated KPI’s in user definable trends / history• Cost, Process, Maintenance

• Default KPI’s Include:• Total Cost: Energy, Chemicals, etc.

• Individual or Aggregated KPI’s

• User Defined KPI’s:• Can display/use (for calc’s) any data

captured by an SCADA or asset data collection system. Unlimited

• User created custom trends with any data
