在表现出我年龄的风险,我必须承认指针姐妹80年代的命中“自动”正在经历我的head as I ponder the idea of Product Life Cycle Management (PLM) and its growing use in the chemical process or chemical manufacturing industries. Are we relying so much on automated systems that, well,
“没办法控制它,我完全是自动的,无论何时你都在走。我走了蒙上眼睛,完全自动,我的所有系统都在下,下,向下,向下。自动ooomatic,自动oomom,自动的,自动的。。“?
Now, that I've got you groovin' (and you know you are), let's discuss.
Generically defined by Wikipedia: "The core of product life cycle management is in the creations and central management of all product data and the technology used to access this information and knowledge. PLM as a discipline emerged from tools such as CAD, CAM and PDM, but can be viewed as the integration of these tools with methods, people and the processes through all stages of a product's life.
每cimdata:“p啮盘生命周期管理is a strategic business approach that applies a consistent set of business solutions in support of the collaborative creation, management, dissemination, and use of product definition information across the extended enterprise, and spanning from product concept to end of life-integrating people, processes, business systems, and information. It forms the product information backbone for a company and its extended enterprise."
在这个月的问题加工杂志,是托尼Christian,Calbashi主任的洞察力文章,“How PLM is Relevant to Process Industries“。在它中,基督徒轮廓,“p啮盘生命周期管理is today a $3 billion market served by some of the most successful software companies on the planet. Indeed, the market is larger if services and support eco-system is included. However, adoption of PLM in the chemicals industries has been tentative - and perhaps with good reason."
Most definitions point to comprehensive software that collects, sorts and relays data.
Simply said, from where Fauske & Associates, LLC (FAI) sits, how can a computer software adapt to and remain vigilant in the delicate arena of安全将化学品混合在一起?
当然,有“食谱”。列出A可以与列表B混合的某些化合物的批准列表。但是,在条件x下呢?而且,在哪个环境?如何运输或存储,一次混合,如果可能的话?如果没有绝热和反应化学体系测试,您如何真正了解您的安全风险?
会议有持续的监管要求是另一个加号公关oduct life cycle managementcapabilities. While broad stroke information can be automated and supplied to meet standards by organizations such as ASTM, OSHA, REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Registration of Chemicals), letting these requirements be the driving force may devalue the integrity of your unique safety program needs.
As Christian aptly points out, evolving cloud-based capabilities make a PLM an increasingly great tool, but nothing can replace the actual process safety lab for testing scenarios unique to your systems. "Automatic" was/is a great song though intended to describe one's unconditioned romantic response to another. Let's hope it has no application in our workings with chemical safety. Thoughts?
