Put It In Context

dataPARC's Asset Hub is a framework that lets you add context to raw data. Create digital assets that represent physical objects in your plant and add descriptive labels for properties like volume, temperature, or rate, so users can easily find and compare assets.

  • Organize tags by asset to find information faster.
  • Compare like assets to identify underperforming resources.
  • Create reusable templates for common assets (boilers, motors, etc.)
  • Leverage Existing PI AF assets.

Featured Case Study

Kapstone Paper

The global containerboard market is highly competitive, making process optimization essential to a paper mill’s survival. KapStone’s technical team turned to dataPARC to help them centerline their process, identify golden runs, and reduce costs.

Powering Practical Analytics Solutions for 25+ Years

We were trying to optimize the largest facility in our company and PARCview allowed us to overlay data - both lab and process - to break down perceptive barriers and make data-driven decisions.

Stan Case, Plant Manager, Amalgamated Sugar

Our investment in dataPARC is allowing us to focus on system optimization as we leverage the data we are now capturing.

Tyler Fedun, Manager IT Operations, Energy Transfer

We make a lot of different different grades of paper. In order to maximize the dollars for each run, we use dataPARC's centerline tool to find 'golden runs' and those become our target each time we run a grade.
