Proficy CSense

Industrial analytics software

Process monitoring, analysis, prediction, simulation & optimization all in one tool

You are collecting process data already, but how can you extract the insights stored in this data? Is it possible to identify exactly what causes problems, improve quality, and optimize production performance based on historical data? Proficy CSense is designed for that.

Enhance manufacturing efficiency by analyzing and optimizing process and control data 

Proficy CSense plugs into the mountains of historian and sensor data you already collect, learns the normal rhythm of your equipment, and then uses AI and machine-learning algorithms to spot trouble early, explain what’s going on, and—if you let it—tweak set-points automatically so production stays smoother, faster, and cheaper.

Proficy CSense at a glance

Identify inefficiencies, process drift, and bottlenecks by analyzing historical and ongoing operations data.
Take corrective action (tuning control loops, adjusting setpoints, improving equipment maintenance strategies) before issues impact performance.
Reduce downtime, energy use, and material waste.
Improve throughput, consistency, and product quality.

Proficy CSense

is a logical next step to data-driven decisions for those who have already implemented process data collection and storage in their factory.

What Proficy CSense actually does

    • Connect & clean

      Pulls data from different sources such as historians, PLCs, MES, spreadsheets, SQL, etc., then validates and cleans it. Good analytics starts with good data; garbage in = garbage out.

    • Analyze & model

      With a drag-and-drop canvas and wizards, engineers build a predictive model that combines statistics, classic analytics, and modern ML in one toolkit.

    • Monitor in real time

      Deploy those models, so they run 24/7 on the actual online data, warning when variables drift from the “golden” profile.

    • Recommend or control

      Sends alerts, prescriptive recommendations, or even trims set points directly. You can turn insights into action without human delay.

    • Scale across sites

      Save a proven model as a template and roll it out to every line or plant in just a couple of clicks.

Benefits 

1 | REDUCED VARIATIONS IN PRODUCTION PROCESSES
Advanced analytics shave the “noise” off critical parameters, keeping every batch inside its golden zone. 

2 | FASTER TROUBLESHOOTING
Root-cause tools point at the exact valve, heater or probe that’s misbehaving; in minutes, not days. 

3 | LESS DOWNTIME, LOWER MAINTENANCE
Predictive models raise early warnings, so you can spot potential problems before they occur. 

4 | SAFE OPTIMIZATIONS WITH A DIGITAL TWIN
Simulate “what-if” scenarios, then tune set-points to squeeze out extra throughput, and energy savings.

5 | CLEANER DATA ALL AROUND
Validate and clean raw sensor signals on the source, so historians, MES and other downstream systems stop swallowing bad numbers. 

6 | HAPPIER, MORE PRODUCTIVE ENGINEERS
Visual wizards and ready-made templates allow process engineers to build analytics without coding or a data science PhD.

As result, energy & CO₂ savings that show up on the utility bill and continuous improvement across production. 

10% production improvement across TEN plants = the capacity of ONE new plant!

Typical Proficy CSense customers improve performance by up to 10%. What’s that worth to you?
