BioComp Systems Announces Process Understanding and Optimization Software.REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 7, 1999-- BioComp Systems announced today the introduction of Process Intellect, a landmark in process modeling, monitoring, understanding and optimization. Process Intellect connects to manufacturing processes, quality databases and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) An integrated information system that serves all departments within an enterprise. Evolving out of the manufacturing industry, ERP implies the use of packaged software rather than proprietary software written by or for one customer. systems to build high accuracy models of the effects of process conditions and materials on resulting product performance. These models are then used to monitor process conditions and materials usage to predict product problems before they occur. If an impending im·pend intr.v. im·pend·ed, im·pend·ing, im·pends 1. To be about to occur: Her retirement is impending. 2. problem is likely, Process Intellect alerts operators, supervisors and/or engineers to the impending situation and can develop its own recommended actions to bring product performance back into specification. Further capitalizing on these capabilities, Process Intellect enables process and product engineers to explore their process models to better understand the complex cause and effects within their processes, materials and resulting product characteristics and quality. Process Intellect also identifies key variables that impact results and helps identify causes of production problems. "Process Intellect is unique. Not only is the modeling technology superior, but it has been created by engineers for engineers. We know the challenges and we have the technology to solve them," says Carl Cook, president of BioComp Systems. Process Intellect automatically constructs optimized non-linear dynamic models of process and product behavior and employs those models for predicting future performance. Engineers can explore and gain further understanding of their process as well as receive alerts and notifications via Process Intellect's Engineer's Viewpoint package. Operators and Production Supervisors receive alerts and notifications via Process Intellect's Operator's Viewpoint package. Process Intellect embraces Microsoft's DNA DNA: see nucleic acid.

It is the chemical substance of genes. for Manufacturing architecture and fits well with Advanced Manufacturing Research's (AMR (1) (Adaptive Multi-Rate) A variable rate speech codec selected by the 3GPP for the 3G evolution of the GSM cellphone system (WCDMA). Using the Algebraic CELP (ACELP) compression technology, AMR provides toll quality sound at transmission rates from 4.75 to 12. ) REPAC REPAC Ready, Execute, Process, Analyze, Coordinate REPAC Radiological Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee REPAC Rural Electric Political Action Committee REPAC Regional Protection Advisory Committee (United Kingdom) manufacturing systems model. It integrates with process management systems through OLE for Process Control (standard) OLE for Process Control - (OPC) A set of seven open standards for connectivity and interoperability of industrial automation and the enterprise systems. Based on fundamental and evolving standards and technology of the general computing market, the OPC Foundation (OPC (1) (OpenGL Performance Characterization) A project group within GPC that manages OpenGL benchmarks. OPC endorses the Viewperf and GLperf benchmarks. Viewperf was created by IBM and OPC provides viewsets for it, which are combinations of tests using specific ) and directly with popular data historians, ERP systems, data warehouses and an array of other stores of key data. BioComp Systems, Inc. is a privately held software and consulting company located in Redmond, WA. With customers in over 40 countries, BioComp has distributed thousands of systems for modeling, prediction and optimization. |
