Aspen InfoPlus.21®

Information management system for real-time manufacturing processes

Aspen InfoPlus.21 collects and stores large volumes of process data for analysis and reporting.  It provides a versatile application development environment for creating unique, real-time applications. This process data repository forms the core of a plant and enterprise-level manufacturing integration platform, uniting data across process control, manufacturing operations, and business systems. Aspen InfoPlus.21 is a core element of AspenTech’s aspenONE® Production Management and Execution applications.

Features

  • Powerful, flexible history repository with direct record access – Supports multiple history repositories and custom objects, facilitating storage and retrieval of important records. Direct record access is provided through search tree technology.
  • Analysis – Aspen Calc™—a wizard-driven, scalable calculation engine—aids users in building calculations without the need for programming languages. Advanced Analysis and Intelligent Decision Support tools support operational excellence initiatives.
  • Visualization – A rich set of desktop, web, and portal-based visualization tools address specific plant and enterprise needs.
  • Object-oriented, real-time application environment – Enables users to quickly create maintainable, business-specific, real-time applications (based on Aspen SQLplus™).
  • Access to models online – Aspen InfoPlus.21 works with Aspen Online Deployment™, providing connectivity to online engineering models for real-time decision support without programming.
  • Support for workflow standards – AspenTech makes extensive use of standards to facilitate reuse of information and reduce total cost of ownership. ISA-S95 and WitsML standards are employed, covering workflows in production data management, production analysis, and drilling.
  • Process control systems integration – OPC and PRODML are incorporated into Aspen CIM-IO™, a standard interface platform allowing AspenTech’s real-time databases and applications to read and write real-time and historical data from DCSs or PLCs and other types of real-time databases.
  • Enterprise-wide security - Aspen Framework security allows for an enterprise-wide security solution based on Microsoft’s Active Directory.
  • Integration platform - Aspen InfoPlus.21, in combination with Aspen Integration Infrastructure™ and Aspen Manufacturing Master Data Manager, facilitates enterprise information synchronization and information flow through integration with supply chain and ERP systems, and persisting a master data model.

Benefits

  • Reduces the time to assess root causes of problems, resulting in faster and better business decisions
  • Improves engineering workflow processes and control strategies (e.g., to prevent upsets, increase capacity, or simplify environmental regulation compliance), as well as enhances decision support, customer service, cost-efficiencies, and operating performance
  • Provides quality information with a high degree of reliability to increase plant efficiency and global enterprise productivity
  • Enables information to be brought to the experts from remote locations, leveraging skills and lowering cost
