Implementing SigmafineIntegrating Sigmafine with other business systems

• Sigmafine lives in complex application environments and needs to be integrated with several business and production systems d d h l b l ddepending on the applicative scenario to be implemented.

• Looking at the typical production accounting scenario, we may find:

Information Type System Direction

Process Data PI System / 3rd party historians In

bLab Data LIMS In

Movements Data Oil Movement Systems In

Receipts & Shipments Logistics systems; ERP In

Planning data LP & Scheduling In / Out

Consumption/Production/Inventories ERP systems Out

Equipment Design Data Datasheets In



The Sigmafine integration scenarioDilemmas

• Collecting vs. referencing

M ll t i d t ti / tt d d• Manually triggered vs. automatic/unattended

• Daily vs. realtime

• Direct integration vs. file exchange

• Exposing vs. publishing

Sigmafine Integration FrameworkSummary

• The Sigmafine Integration Framework allows you to define configure and schedule the Integration Rulesdefine, configure and schedule the Integration Rules needed to collect and/or reference external data into Sigmafine/AF models.

• Benefits:o Configuration (not programming)

o Minimize effort for integration (i.e. concentrate on the real project issues)

Avoid as much as possible custom‐made integrationo Avoid as much as possible custom‐made integration

o Improve integration maintenance

o Easier extensibility of integration paths

Exposing Sigmafine informationSigmafine SQL and Web Service Access

• Customers are required to easily access Sigmafine results in order to integrate Sigmafine results into company systems and enterprise reporting

• Our intention is to encourage data exposure by providing customers access to the Sigmafine database according to different technologiesdifferent technologies

• Currently Sigmafine supports the following technologies:Modules Elements/

Notifying Sigmafine eventsThe basics to know

• Sigmafine Server embeds PI Notifications technologySigmafine Server embeds PI Notifications technology.

• Configure notification rules based on Sigmafine analysis results.y

o Scenario: Hourly automatic reconciliation

o Condition: Diesel reconciled yield not matching the planned target

o Action: Send an email/SMS to Operations Manager










• Sigmafine/AF data to SAPPosting • Sigmafine/AF data to SAPPosting



Publishing Sigmafine data to external systemsThe basics to know

• Publishing to PI is a native built in feature of Sigmafine.

• You can configure any piece of information to be written• You can configure any piece of information to be written back to your PI system (PI Point Data Reference)...or if you are using COM Connector to the supported y g pp3rd party historian.

• We encourage customers to write gback not only reconciled data but also statistical indexes, therebyenabling performance analysis forenabling performance analysis for the measurements base.

• Create new valuable applications from your Sigmafine installation by:y

o Establishing stable online connection paths with external systemsAccessing an needed piece of information (not onl tags)o Accessing any needed piece of information (not only tags) by configuration only

o Synchronizing your assets with external master data o Enabling efficient web‐based reportingo Notifying proactively relevant process and business conditionsconditions

• Do not miss the Sigmafine roadmap
