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.
