Abstract
The Amalgamated Sugar Company, in partnership with dataPARC and Sugars International LLC have created a proof-of-concept integration between the SugarsTM mass and energy balance tool and dataPARC factory data visualization and analytics. The new application utilizes factory data from dataPARC to set the SugarsTM model input parameters, then imports the SugarsTM balance results back to dataPARC. These simulation results can be viewed alongside actual factory process data in a single dataPARC trend display, providing insight into potential optimization opportunities, equipment malfunctions, and/or measurement errors.
