System management is a set of activities that are designed to control changes by identifying the items that are likely to change, establishing relationships among them, controlling changes that are imposed, and auditing and reporting on the changes that are made. System management includes configuration management, alarm and operator action analysis, alarm system management and overall system documentation.
When dealing with Distributed Control Systems, System Management is a continual effort. foxray™ by LimeWare was designed to tackle this effort of continuously documenting and managing the Foxboro I/A DCS configuration with 100% confidence.
foxray™also leverages this continual documentation of the DCS system to provide actionable information to improve the system's performance, process performance, improved operator effectiveness and overall system health. All this actionable information leads to improved reliability, productivity and safety.
