The W.R. Grace plant in Sorocaba turned scattered, hard-to-interpret process data into operator-focused PARCview dashboards, letting the team spot deviations before they escalate.
Learn how W.R. Grace:
- Designed two levels of dashboards — area overviews and unit-level detail — aligned to how operators actually work
- Cut visual noise with calculation-based flow indicators that show only active process paths
- Built an eight-screen wall display in the control room, combining live dashboards, trends, and external systems
- Reduced hours-long flow interruptions, reaching near-continuous operation and lowering product waste
- Estimated roughly $7,000/month ROI in a single process area, plus stronger vendor accountability through shareable trend data
