Issues With Managing Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) Data
National and local regulations require that all process operations have a formal Hazards Analysis performed on the original installation as well as for all modifications to the facility. Most regulations also require that the Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) of record be re-validated at regular intervals, such as the 5-year re validation cycle required in the US.
Data Integrity, Why Do You Need It?
Many of us may remember playing a game as a child, commonly referred to as Telephone, where everyone would sit in a circle with the sole responsibility of passing along a message to the next player. The goal of this game was to successfully pass the original message back to the first player without any changes to the original message....
Digital Transformation of Control and Safety Systems
The Digital Transformation of Control and Safety Systems has come a long way. They used to be simple yet were unreliable, not very robust, or died from neglect. In the past, the term Safety System generally wasn’t used very much, rather you would see terms such as ESD and Interlock. The technologies used in the past were often process...
Moving Existing Data into the SLM® solution
When considering whether to move Safety Lifecycle Management into the SLM® solution, the question “What do I do with my existing data?” arises. This was a significant concern when the SLM® software was being developed and has thus been addressed. SLM® software has an Adapter Module that provides the tools for importing data into the SLM® system and exporting data...
Digitalizing Safety Information into Intelligence
What is Digital Transformation and how can the SLM® system help?
Digital Transformation is the process of converting non-digital or manual information into a digital (i.e. computer-readable) format. For an organization, a phase of digital transformation is a great opportunity for organizations to take a step back and evaluate everything they do, from the basic operations to complex workflows.
Let SLM® be your digital twin
Digital twins are powerful virtual representations to drive innovation and performance. Imagine it as a digital replica of your most talented product technicians with the most advanced monitoring, analytical, and predictive capabilities at their fingertips. It is estimated that companies who invest in digital twin technology will see a 30 percent improvement in cycle times of critical processes.
A digital twin captures a virtual...
