ap17: saint-gobain builds for the future with plantpax and production intelligence
DESCRIPTION
The production systems at a key Saint-Gobain facility, where high-tech fiber glass and construction materials are created, was at risk of obsolescence. With limited support and system expertise, maintenance and repairs were hard to sustain on the legacy process system. To remain competitive, the company turned to the PlantPAx process system with a production intelligence solution for increased productivity and reduced downtime. Utilizing FactoryTalk VantagePoint, View and Historian, the company now has access to a wealth of data for real-time trending and improved electronic data storage from three months to a year.TRANSCRIPT

BUSINESS JUSTIFICATION
Lost our internal ProcessLogixTM Champion Support for the Existing Solution increasingly difficult to find. Have a small PlantPAx system in place for Resin Blending.
This in conjunction with ProcessLogix being based on 1756 I/O made the best solution easy to choose.
Had experienced the advantages of built in directed diagnostics. Liked the ability to find trained resources on Rockwell
solutions. ProcessLogix Server stability was becoming a problem. Unsupported Platform from Rockwell Unsupported Hardware/Software (Windows 2000)
![Page 10: AP17: Saint-Gobain Builds for the Future with PlantPAx and Production Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060109/5552f9c0b4c90584028b50ad/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
BUSINESS JUSTIFICATION
Project justification was on Cost Avoidance. If a failure occurred the MTTR would be significant, increasing production
costs.
On power outages we were having a difficult time recovering due to issues with the ProcessLogix servers.
When process improvements were implemented the labor cost for ProcessLogix integration would be higher than PlantPAx.

MIGRATION STRATEGY
Had existing solution in place for Resin, wanted to build on it. Had an infrastructure that was expanded multiple times
without a well thought out strategy. Had legacy code that needed to be cleaned up. Needed to install the upgrade on a short outage. Operators were already familiar with the Resin system
faceplates and control.

FINAL INFRASTRUCTURE

LEGACY CODE MIGRATION
Integrator documented all existing loops. Reviewed code list with production for equipment that was out of
service or provided poor performance. Converted existing code and tuning values. Some sequences were eliminated due to better tools in PlantPAx. Consolidated multiple HMI platforms from other systems into the
new Factory Talk® View SE system. Pulper RSView32 System. Line Drive RSView32 System. Multiple PV+ Applications.
![Page 15: AP17: Saint-Gobain Builds for the Future with PlantPAx and Production Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060109/5552f9c0b4c90584028b50ad/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
NEEDED TO INSTALL ON A SHORT OUTAGE
Initially targeted a 24 hour production down. Integrator put together a thorough test plan for critical loops
at startup. Actual outage was 36 hours due to other maintenance. Startup went extremely well.
We did have a path back to the ProcessLogix system if we had a catastrophic problem.
We moved two ControlNet Racks to Ethernet due to failing control net cables installed crossing the machine in the basement.
We did have access to the ProcessLogix code if needed to verify operation.

OPERATOR FAMILIARITY
Operators were already comfortable with the HMI due to the existing Resin PlantPAx implementation.
Operator training on the HMI was minimal, screens mimicked the existing ProcessLogix using familiar faceplates.
