Plan, Learn, Adapt - Rollout Strategies for a Diverse Organization

Fariha Imami, Manufacturing Intelligence Project Leader, PQ

At PQ, no sites are alike. Differences in data maturity and resourcing add extra layers of complexity. We didn’t find one recipe that fits all. Instead, we found a new mindset of agility and continuous improvement, enabling us to leverage existing resources and apply our learnings to deliver better results at each iteration.

Monitoring Flows for Wastewater Management

Branden Poulsen Ph.D., P.E., Sr. Process Engineer, Chobani

Chobani’s Twin Falls facility is one of the largest yogurt production plants in the world, producing up to 1.5 million lbs/day of dairy products. Learn how the Wastewater Operations team is using Seeq daily to monitor and predict flows to inform leadership teams and reduce city permit violations.

Navigating a Grassroots Deployment Strategy

Troy Ness, Sr. Manufacturing Technology Specialist, 3M Company

3M took a grassroots approach to Seeq adoption, developing a thriving user community from the ground up that is now delivering value throughout the organization. They achieved this transformation by thoughtfully engaging and training users, carefully communicating the value to essential stakeholders, and effectively navigating technical and business obstacles. Join the co-leader of this transformation as he breaks down the challenges they faced throughout this rollout and the key strategies used to overcome them.

Distillation Tower Fouling Prediction: Anomaly Detection & Causality Analysis Using Process Health Solution (PHS)

Liberty Barney, Data Scientist, Ascend Performance Materials

Distillation tower fouling plagued Ascend’s operations forcing an unplanned 11 day downtime. The team used Seeq coupled with Seeq ML to identify key fouling contributors. This work has allowed Ascend to operationalize an ML model to provide a 60 day lead time in maintenance planning and propose operational optimization to extend run time between cleaning events.

Ascend Performance Materials - Why We Use Seeq in Anomaly Detection at Ascend

Yele Soyombo, Data Science Manager, Ascend Performance Materials | Ezgi Gumusbas, Data Scientist,  Ascend Performance Materials

Ascend’s AI/ML team prioritizes anomaly detection use cases performed at scale, which presented problems for historically used traditional modeling and deep learning models. Seeq provided the flexibility to scale the same built-in anomaly detection model, while making minor tweaks to tailor to the asset or data available. In this presentation, we’ll share how we’re using Seeq ML to do anomaly detection, at scale, and present the results to engineering teams in Seeq’s friendly user interface.

Chemours - Seeq Deployment at Chemours

John Wood, Manufacturing Effectiveness Director, Chemours | Kris McQuay, Automation & Process Control Consultant, Chemours

Engineers at Chemours had been looking at process data the same way for decade when we realized that our process data analytics toolset was stagnant, not keeping pace with the evolving technology market. So, in 2022, we made the decision to pilot and then deploy Seeq enterprise-wide. This presentation covers our experiences, learnings and a few use cases that helped us build the justification for purchase and enable the roll-out.

Honeywell UOP - A Sustainable Future with Seeq
