BlueMarvel 90-Day Proof of Value

Industrial facilities operating on DCS environments face a common challenge: the data needed to improve safety, reliability, and throughput already exists - but it is fragmented across systems, siloed between teams, and difficult to translate into decisive action. Operations, Process Engineering, Controls, and Maintenance each see part of the picture. Alarm overload reduces situational awareness. Bypass governance relies on spreadsheets and verbal handovers. Control loop degradation goes undetected. The result is fragmented decision-making, reactive troubleshooting, and measurable losses in throughput, safety margin, and maintenance efficiency.

The BlueMarvel 90-Day Proof of Value (POV) is designed to let organizations experience tangible operational and financial value before committing to a full deployment. It is structured as a low-risk engagement that works primarily with existing historical alarm and event data, requiring no control logic changes, no live integrations, and no disruption to plant operations.

The POV is anchored in OperationsMetrics™ as the primary insight engine, delivering alarm performance, operator workload, and bypass governance visibility. Control Performance observations are derived from operator interaction data - surfacing high-touch loops and loop babysitting patterns that guide engineering focus without requiring deep control system access. OTSupport™ is layered in optionally when smart device data is available, adding instrumentation diagnostics to strengthen root-cause confidence.

What the POV Delivers

Rapid Time to Insight - Within weeks, gain visibility into alarm volumes, nuisance patterns, operator interventions, and early indicators of control performance issues that traditionally require months of manual analysis.

Quantified Baseline of Operational Health - A defensible starting point using ISA-18.2 KPIs including alarm rate per operator, standing and stale alarms, chattering and repeat alarms, alarm flood frequency, and operator intervention patterns.

Early Control Performance Visibility - Surfaces silent sub-optimization such as high-touch loops and loop babysitting patterns, guiding engineering focus without requiring deep control system access or full loop integrations.

Measurable KPI Improvement Over 90 Days - Demonstrated trending improvement including reductions in nuisance alarm volume, improved prioritization of corrective actions, increased bypass and operator workload visibility, and early stabilization of high-impact loops.

Immediate Workflow Discipline Without Headcount Increase - Structured weekly review cadences and shared cross-discipline dashboards that enable Operations, Engineering, and leadership to collaborate around shared metrics without adding specialist resources.

Actionable Monthly Insight Reports - Prioritized findings highlighting top alarm bad actors, high-intervention loops, and emerging instrumentation concerns tied directly to safety, reliability, and throughput impact. Formats suitable for both engineering teams and executive leadership.

180-Day BlueMarvel Platform Access - Full interactive access to the BlueMarvel platform loaded with your data, including alarm trends, bypass activity, operator interaction patterns, and control loop observations.

Why It Is Low Risk

Offline data first: works from historical exports, not live connections

No control system changes: zero configuration or logic modification

No operational downtime: runs in parallel to existing workflows

Modular scope: begins with OperationsMetrics™, with OTSupport™ layered in only when device data is available
