Abstract

See full text

A computer-based method and system brings together data from two business domains: real-time actual plant status operation data and predictive process simulation data based upon a design specification. This method and system correlates the plant data and the simulation data, and displays the results side-by-side for the user. The results assist the user, to determine whether the plant is operating properly, and to make further improvements to both the plant assets and to the simulation models. The invention assists with monitoring, maintaining, trouble shooting, and problem solving of plant operation. The invention facilitates a progressive visual collaborative environment between plant operation and process engineering teams, where engineers from respective domains may socialize and trouble shoot problems. The Progressive Visual Collaboration helps professionals with searching, sharing, mapping, analyzing, framing problems, removing ambiguity and uncertainty by considering facts and figures, and providing a progressive workflow that solves plant problems.
