Smart Monitoring: Where Analytics Meets Operational Discipline - Indorama Ventures - Indovinya

Juliana Fidalgo, Automation Engineer, Indorama Ventures – Indovinya

Indorama Ventures’ Indovinya shows how their business turned process variability into a more disciplined, data-driven operating model by bringing real-time analytics directly to the frontline. The presentation explains how the team identified critical variables, built statistical control and operational compliance measures in Seeq, and gave operators simple, visual dashboards that made shift-level performance visible, actionable, and consistent across the organization. It also highlights how dedicated control-room monitors, regular reviews, and leadership alignment helped move the site from reactive troubleshooting to proactive control, with measurable improvement in operational compliance and stronger day-to-day ownership of performance. More importantly, the talk shows that lasting value comes not just from monitoring processes more closely, but from embedding analytics into daily routines so that stability, accountability, and continuous improvement become part of how the site operates.

Operationalizing Process Hazard Analysis Recommendations with Seeq - Aditya Birla Group

Benjamin Cruz, Manufacturing Technology Engineer, Aditya Birla Chemicals

Aditya Birla Chemicals share how they used Seeq’s SPI Python library to automate reporting on interlock bypasses across more than 100 devices at a specialty chemicals facility. He explains how the solution transformed a time-consuming manual review into recurring, site-wide visibility of bypass duration and state changes, helping the team identify undocumented or prolonged protection-layer gaps, prioritize corrective actions, and reduce active bypasses. Cruz also demonstrates how the same reusable methodology can be applied to nuisance alarms and equipment faults, providing a practical example of how Seeq and Python can support safer, more informed process operations.

Syensqo - Enhancing Teamwork: Leveraging Dashboards for More Effective Collaboration

Cara Blankenbicker, Industrial Data Scientist, Syensqo

In the complex world of manufacturing, a process cannot be run optimally if people do not have access to relevant information when they need it. Information has historically been shared using a tapestry of solutions to generate dashboards for operators, monthly spreadsheets for stakeholders and ad-hoc analyses for engineers to troubleshoot processes. Today this can be streamlined into a coherent SEEQ dashboard solution, the product of an ongoing collaboration between site and corporate resources.

Western Midstream - SWD Injection: Robust Reporting Solutions with Seeq

Albert Swalha, Staff OSI PI Engineer, Western Midstream

Western Midstream significantly streamlined regulatory reporting of Saltwater Disposal (SWD) wells by implementing a robust analytics solution using Seeq. Previously, regulatory reporting involved extensive manual Excel workbook preparations, which were labor-intensive and error-prone, consuming nearly 24 hours monthly. Using Seeq’s combined applications—Workbench, Data Lab, and Organizer—they automated data cleansing, analysis, and report generation, reducing monthly effort to only 1-2 hours. This scalable solution improves data accuracy, proactively highlights operational exceptions, and significantly reduces administrative burden, enabling analysts to focus on more strategic tasks.

Dominion Energy - Planning for a New Tomorrow – Forecast-Driven Outage Planning

Joshua Mellen, Product Manager, Dominion Energy

Bhawuk Luthra, Engineering Consultant, Dominion Energy

Dominion Energy is facing considerable growth across its operating territory – much of it stemming from non-conforming load produced by technology and the EV sector. The need for improved forecasting is becoming a mandatory part of our operations and company decision making in outage planning. In this session, we will discuss strategies and tactics around long-term load forecasts (LTLF) for area, substation and transformer-level forecasting, including the development of an operating framework utilizing Seeq. We will also explore real world case studies on managing and reprioritizing outages, thus enhancing system reliability and operational efficiency.
