Predictive Operation & Defensive Action (PrODA) for Intelligent Process Automation (IPA)

Abstract - Industrial Process Automation (IPA) is being progressively integrated into numerous processes to enhance productivity, reliability, quality and cost optimization in all aspects. Currently, IPA is focusing on real time process control only even though system is upgraded with highspeed controllers, improved resolution time stamping, historian & other next Gen technology. With technological advancement, IPA can be developed to next generation so that prediction of process abnormality, control failure time to Alarm & Trip, Root Cause, Suggestion for Defensive Action etc. can be explored. Researchers, Designers Technocrats will get new insights Predictive Operation & Defensive Action (PrODA) for IPA. Key Words: Intelligent Process Automation (IPA), Predictive Operation & Defensive Action (PrODA), Process Control, Automation
