SPIRE

The SPIRE Dashboard module provides instant insight into the operation of your plant, combining data from all SPIRE modules.

Displaying critical operational metrics through a set of unique and intuitive visual representations.

Any number of role specific dashboards can be configured to ensure that each employee has the information most critical to them.

The auto cycle allows a series of dashboards to be displayed in high traffic areas, promoting awareness of the plant operation.

The SPIRE Data Analysis module is used to interrogate large volumes of plant information for patterns and exceptions allowing rapid generation of information to support decision making.

Users can create and share custom views providing completely personalised reporting.

This dynamic reporting package delivers business intelligence to all your organisation.

With this tool information is never locked away in static reports, you have the power to present the information you require in the format and context you choose.

The SPIRE Data Analysis Interface provides the following benefits:

• Microsoft SQL Server based data warehouse (OLAP Cube)
• Saving, Loading and Sharing of Views
• Hierarchical Drill Downs
• Drag and Drop Interface
• Built In Charting
• Export to Excel

The SPIRE Delay Accounting module systematically captures production losses (full and partial) for each plant area and can intelligently auto-complete information.

The inbuilt charting allows for instantaneous analysis to focus on current issues.

Viewing delay information using the SPIRE Data Analysis module will identify problematic areas of production and common causality.

The SPIRE Delay Accounting Module provides the following benefits:

• Intelligent capture of delay events
• Capture of plant stop (full) and performance loss (partial) delays
• Provides dynamic reporting via filtering and charting without leaving the interface
• Capture of associated information such as temperature, seam, levels and set points; are fully incorporated into SPIRE Data Analysis
• Fully customisable time model reporting
• Export data directly to Microsoft Excel

SPIRE Operations Manager is an electronic shift log and planning tool. It has been designed to safely manage shifts and facilitate the knowledge transfer to the oncoming crew. 

The Production Scheduling component allows planners to effectively communicate production plans to plant operators ensuring clear communication and reducing costly mistakes. 

Operations Manager provides the following functionality: 

• Full statutory auditable shift log 
• Plant setting changes and Crew Assignments 
• Supervisor pre-start inspections 
• Safety checks and Statutory requirements 
• Shift Production planning 
• Shift Production Summaries and Inspection checklists 
• Shift Log and Concern Tracking for shift Knowledge transfer 
• Vessel shipment planning and tracking including quality 

SPIRE Train loading module provides planning, actual and reconciled data for site train loading to improve operational efficiency for technicians and planners.
