Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Jul 17, 2006

Event analyzer software allows complex process industries such as steel, semi-conductor and high speed applications to instantly determine why a process went wrong and identify the root cause.

SlipStream Software a leading provider of Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence (EMI) solutions for the mid-market announced today their PM Event Analyzer application.

PM Event Analyzer provides the answers to the 'what' is the cause of manufacturing problems.

PM Event Analyzer is a post process tool that allows complex process industries such as pulp and paper, steel, chemicals, energy, mining, semi-conductor and high speed applications the ability to instantly determine not only why a process went wrong but what the root cause of the problem was.

PM Event Analyzer makes use of any type of data Historian such as OSI PI, Rockwell, GE, WonderWare or any SQL based repository and extracts the necessary information to present to the user the statistical variables of the cause of a problem.

"Today's process manufacturers are focused on improvement within their organizations for better quality, lower cost or faster time to market.

PM Event Analyzer is the answer to the 'last mile' question.

Today's real-time KPI's and SPC charts can tell a customer that something is wrong but cannot provide exactly what caused the problem.

Customer's who are trying to do root cause usually have to spend vast amounts of time to get to the root of the process issue.

PM Event Analyzer is the first type product that shows the customer exactly what caused their problems.

With this type of powerful information, manufacturers can now truly focus on real process improvement", said Gary Hopkins, president and CEO of SlipStream Software.

PM Event Analyzer is already installed in several plant facilities in the USA including such companies as MeadWestvaco and International Paper.
