Emerson DeltaV Mobile

Emerson has enhanced its DeltaV Mobile app to ensure plant personnel have faster access to process information and to help organisations tailor the notifications personnel receive. DeltaV Mobile — a mobile app that provides read-only access to a plant’s distributed control system and operation data — now offers improved customisation and access to third-party systems in one app.

Custom notifications provide personnel across the organisation fast access to essential information including batch status, safety instrumented systems bypasses, key performance indicators or any other process parameter they want to monitor. These notifications are customised to individuals, ensuring personnel such as process engineers and supervisors are notified on-demand of information relevant to their job, but do not create additional control system nuisance alarms or notifications that add unnecessary distractions for control room operators and other personnel.

Notification escalation paths now include user-specific time delays, reminders and limits for each stakeholder in the organisation. Users can claim ownership of notifications to clearly communicate to plant personnel who is investigating the problem and sparing others from the distraction of notifications for problems that are already being investigated.

Open Platform Communication (OPC) browsing makes it easier to create watchlists and custom alerts from any OPC Classic data source, including from historians such as the OSIsoft PI System, third-party control systems and PLCs. In addition, a bulk editing tool allows users to bulk-create lists (with or without notification preferences) in spreadsheet applications, making it easier to create personalised watchlists and alarm lists.
