Pavilion's MPI technology lets Nova develop model-based analytics delivering improved accuracy and timeliness of decision making.
After the two companies formed a strategic alliance in 2004, Nova has been implementing Pavilion's advanced process control (APC) chemical and polymer products at all its manufacturing sites.
MPI technology complements Nova's implementation of APC by allowing the same models used in APC to be leveraged for operations and business performance management and visualised via integration with SAP's XMII application and Enterprise Portal anywhere in the company.
"Based on the success of our initial partnership with Pavilion, we are pleased to extend our collaboration to include predictive analytics", said Nova VP of Manufacturing Olefins and Polyolefins, Bill Greene.
"The operational efficiencies gained by proactive decision making will help continually enhance reliability, reduce costs and improve cash flow cycle time".
