GE Intelligent Platforms offers Proficy
Cause+, a powerful software add-on
solution that enables you to obtain more
value from your HMI/SCADA system by
providing likely causes for problems in
real time. It enables an intelligent form of
proactive alarming and decision support
so operators can correct issues before a
problem occurs.
Active Avoidance
With Proficy Cause+, you can analyze
real-time information based on intelligent
historical data models and have your
system predicting future alarm events.
With Proficy Cause+ predictive analysis,
your team can put the appropriate corrective actions in place—reducing downtime
and maintenance costs and increasing
your productivity.
HMI/SCADA Real-Time Interface
The real-time action object displays causes
for operators and process engineers right
in your HMI/SCADA application, as well as
operator actions or guidance messages.
Proficy Cause+ enables production and
manufacturing engineers or process
specialists to instantly receive real-time
causes for future process deviations.

Always “On”
Proficy Cause+ contains a powerful analytical engine that interfaces seamlessly
into your HMI/SCADA applications and
constantly reviews and analyzes your
data. Proficy Cause+ can apply binary or
non-linear predefined rule sets against
your incoming real-time data. No matter
what staff is on the clock, Cause+ is always
working in the background, reviewing the
data and enunciating in the event something is out of alignment.
Intelligent Correction
You can instruct Cause+ how to react, and
it delivers consistent instructions to your
operators every time. By linking messages
to specific data models and rule sets, your
operators can instantly receive corrective
actions prior to the issue occurring.
Post-Alarm Analysis
Proficy Cause+ can also be used offline—
enabling your team to analyze your data
and establish the root cause of faults,
warnings or alarms. You can also enable
your engineering staff to transpose the
large amounts of data within your HMI/
SCADA and realize increased value by identifying both positive and negative aspects
about your process.
