Proficy Troubleshooter from GE Intelligent Platforms Intelligent Platforms provides powerful analytical tools that utilize leading-edge techniques to extract knowledge from existing historical process and manufacturing plant data. These tools help identify causes for production problems as well as opportunities for preventing these problems in the future.

Proficy Troubleshooter uses multivariate modelling and data-mining techniques. Users do not need a background in advanced statistics or modelling. It deploys insights as a real-time intelligent monitoring and advisory solution in Proficy Cause+, with outputs displayed in Proficy HMI/SCADA and web-based reporting.

Proficy Troubleshooter can be used for batch and discrete processes as well as continuous processes. It provides you with the capability to visualize process problems and their causes through modeling and simulating the process, using available historical plant data. Proficy Troubleshooter enables an “Intelligent Historian” that is clearly differentiated from, and more valuable than competing historians. Once you identify the causes for variation and problems in the process and the impact of the process on your assets, you can better understand the relationships between the data. You can build business cases before attempting real-time solutions and prevent problems in the future. What’s more, these powerful technologies provide a clear path to Proficy Cause+, another powerful, tightly integrated GE Intelligent Platforms solution that analyzes your real-time data.
