Visual analysis software cuts energy costs
A visual tool applied to half-hourly readings from a production site electricity meter has allowed Flexsys at Ruabon to recover costs several times greater than its annual outlay on the tool.
Visualisation software makes maths redundant
The Curvaceous Response Surface Visualiser (CRSV) is a novel process analysis and visualisation package.
The innovation category at the 2006 awards was fiercely competitive with Curvaceous beating five other finalists on the night.
Judges deemed Curvaceous's patented Geometric Process Control (GPC) technology to be of prodigious business enhancing capabilities.
Over 90 blue-chip companies currently apply GPC to their processes with exceptional results - unparalleled efficiency, increased throughput, reduced product variability and operating costs all commonplace.
The pioneering approach of GPC is based around the capability to view a countless number of process variables in a single graph.
One controller is immediately able to identify interactions, flaws and hazards within their process without the use of multiple two or three variable plots, or complex statistics.
GPC technology achieves this by applying n-dimensional space mathematics, which is used to offer a simple data visualisation and analysis tool able to model any process operating envelope to heighten performance for no capital investment.
Previous awards for Curvaceous's GPC technology include the 2003 European Process Safety Centre Award for the biggest single contribution to improving the safety of process plants for work in the process alarm field, along with the 2005 IChemE AMEC Award for Innovation and Excellence in an SME.
Recognition has also come in the Innovation Award programmes of both the Carbon Trust and Institution of Electrical Engineers who placed Curvaceous in the top four of a global field of entrants.
Sponsored by The Royal Society of Chemistry and BASF, the Chemical Industries Association (CIA) awards are one of the most established and influential signs of recognition within the industry, a rubber stamp for finalists and definitive support of winners.
The CIA represents the majority of the United Kingdom's chemical industry, one of the largest manufacturing sectors with annual turnover of over GBP 50 billion and a trade surplus of nearly GBP 5 billion, according to a recent CIA publication.
