Emerson Ovation™ Enterprise Data Solutions (EDS) Applications

Applications 

EDS is a powerful tool that simplifies information management by consolidating data from disparate 

systems into a single source for remote monitoring and analysis.  

EDS delivers increased awareness of plant operations by securely connecting staff to near-real time and archived data,

regardless of geographic location. Timely and accurate representation of plant performance enables

more informed decision-making to enhance operations and streamline maintenance.  

For example, severe weather events pose many forms of danger to any industrial process site,

which could require plant staff, both on and off duty, to quickly troubleshoot problems before they escalate.

EDS provides critical process data to the right people at the right time, helping to mitigate emerging issues. 

Using EDS data and tools, power generators can assess abnormal conditions that

could lead to infrastructure damage or widespread power outages.

Water plants can monitor increased flows within distribution networks to better predict flooding,

thus helping to prevent overflows and associated environmental impact. 

As an option, Ovation EDS can automate operator round activities,

including interfaces to computer maintenance or lab information systems and customized route and data collection templates. 

EDS data can also monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) for

measuring against objectives and generating required performance reports. Example KPIs include: 

▪ Power generation: fuel usage, plant availability, emissions, generation revenue, or efficiency (heat rate). 

▪ Water and wastewater plants: quality, compliance, energy usage, chemical usage, or operating and maintenance expenses. 

As an integrated information source, EDS provides valuable insights to all levels of an organization: 

▪ Executives or corporate management can obtain a complete view of district- or fleet-wide operations. 

▪ Plant management can view and trend information to make informed operating or maintenance decisions. 

▪ Plant supervisors, engineers, and technicians can easily evaluate process or plant status.
