CAMO Software Announces the Release of Their Real-Time Process Monitoring Solution, the Unscrambler(R) X Process Pulse

OSLO, Norway, August 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

- Real-time process monitoring software helps manufacturers avoid process failures, improve product quality and reduce time to market

CAMO Software today released the Unscrambler® X Process Pulse real-time process monitoring software. The solution allows users to identify drifts in a process as it is running, and correct issues before they become problems that could cause the process to fail.

The Unscrambler® X Process Pulse can help companies reduce process related costs, improve end-product quality, minimize process delays and reduce time to market for their products. It is designed to be used in R&D, quality control and manufacturing environments in industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, energy, oil and gas, mining, food and beverages, industrial manufacturing, medical devices, semi-conductors and more.

"Our clients told us they needed a flexible, easy to use, affordable solution for monitoring process data in real-time to reduce process failures. Most systems on the market are either too expensive, too complicated or lack the power of multivariate analysis, so we developed Process Pulse to meet this need. It gives our clients a solution that is cost-effective, easy to implement and easy to run," says Paal Braathen, CEO of CAMO Software.

The Unscrambler® X Process Pulse is extremely flexible and can be used either as a stand-alone process monitoring tool or integrated into a control system. It accepts a wide range of data formats, including scientific and analytical instruments as well as ASCII and Excel formats.

The solution offers powerful real-time quality predictions and classifications with results displayed in a choice of plots. Outlier diagnostics allow the user to identify the root cause of process problems, resulting in more consistent end-product.

It is intuitive to use with configurable dashboards and alarms to alert process operators of potential issues. There is an option to drill down into plots to investigate variables that contribute or cause a process to deviate. Reports can be exported in .csv format to view historical data.

The Unscrambler® X Process Pulse is underpinned by the powerful multivariate analytics of CAMO's market leading data analysis software, The Unscrambler® X. In many cases multivariate statistics offer more powerful analysis and prediction capabilities than traditional Statistical Process Control (SPC) methods commonly used today.

Key benefits of the Unscrambler® X Process Pulse are:

• Reduced waste and scrap resulting in lower production costs
• More consistent end-product quality
• Less forced shut-downs and process failures
• Improved process understanding resulting in faster time to market

The Unscrambler® X Process Pulse is available through CAMO Software's international sales offices, selected resellers and OEM partners. A free trial of the Unscrambler® X Process Pulse can be downloaded at http://www.camo.com
