Configuring a CIP analysis

For each asset, a dashboard for CIP analysis can be created. The dashboard is created automatically on the basis of the settings made by the user.

By configuring a CIP analysis the asset will be associated as in-use and reflected in terms of billing.

Procedure

To configure CIP analysis, proceed as follows:

  1. Select an asset in My Plant.
  2. Click "Add dashboard".
  3. Select "CIP dashboard".
    The "CIP configuration" view appears.
    cip-configuration.
  4. Select the default time period.
    The periods defined under "Configuration" are available for selection.

    The selected calculation cycle will be used for parameters and their respective influence in the scoring.

  6. Select the parameter that represents the needed contexts.
    For CIP analysis there are multiple contexts that are possible. CIP ID represents the unique identifier of a process that shall be monitored. It is possible to exclude CIP IDs from the analysis completely. These are the optional parameters:

    • Process ID - represents the type of a cleaning process that has been started
    • Step ID - represents the different phases of a cleaning process

  7. Select the parameters that represent the cleaning process.
    Temperature, Concentration, Flow Rate and Pressure are mandatory for CIP analysis configuration.

  8. Select one or more parameters to be analyzed in addition.
    The parameters can represent, for example, various cost factors (energy consumption, cost of raw materials) or consumption values. cip-configuration
