The Challenge
Startups, shutdowns, and other major transitions can be stressful periods for operators. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) walk the operator through these events, but they can be challenging to follow: they are sometimes written down and not always available at the operator's fingertips.
It can be easy to lose place or miss critical steps for long and complicated procedures and are often out of date. These complications can have profound financial impacts: delayed production, equipment damage, or off-spec product. A single event can cause upwards of millions of dollars in unrecoverable profit loss.
