Powerful statistical analysis and reporting functionality integrated into Aegis Discoverant® helps you monitor and optimize your entire manufacturing process for global operating efficiency. Most plants generate more than enough data, but without the right access and analysis capabilities, turning that data into intelligence is difficult and can be painfully slow.

Discoverant gives you direct, read-only access and conditioning of data from multiple sources. And it provides the integrated visualization, animation and reporting capabilities you need to turn that data into manufacturing intelligence. With Discoverant you can analyze any point in your operation from a single, user-centric interface. It provides Statistical Process Control (SPC) and trend analysis capabilities designed specifically for process monitoring and specification setting. Discoverant includes customizable rules that allow you to define process performance limits. And, makes new technology called Curve Metrics™ lets you extract selected features—such as areas and slopes—from continuous data and turn them into new parameters for inclusion in quantitative analysis.

Discoverant's integrated graphing functionality, together with its correlation and multivariate analysis capabilities, makes it easier and faster to do any of these often labor- and time-intensive tasks:

• Characterize your process earlier in the development cycle so that you can reduce the number of start-up runs and reduce start-up costs.
• Identify critical process parameters and define their proper ranges to control production predictability.
• Identify process problems and minimize plant shut-downs.
• Increase yield of product per batch and reduce or even eliminate the cost of adding space or equipment to the plant.

And Discoverant's visual reporting capabilities help you communicate your results more effectively to the right people at the right time, so everyone in the plant understands exactly what needs to be done to cut costs and boost revenue. From raw materials to finished product, it arms you with the data you need to make informed, proactive decisions that directly impact your bottom line.
