In any shift pattern, there is always a "Best Operator" at operating the plant: Startim from MTS is designed to integrate with existing plant control systems in the same way that a good operator would.

Imagine your best operator always on the job! In any shift pattern, there is always a "Best Operator" at operating the plant in normal and abnormal conditions. If only they could operate the plant 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and never retire, profits would be up and the future a little more secure. The bad news is that they can't, the good news is that Startim can.

Startim is designed to integrate with existing plant control systems in the same way that a good operator would.

However it also automates the coordination, preparation and planning best practices appropriate to current plant operating conditions and constraints to deliver a total control solution.

Startim delivers most benefit in improving plant transitions between operating conditions.

These plant transitions may be as complex as site start-up or shutdown; or for a particular processing plant, may involve grade changing, product changeover, improved recipe management or emergency shutdown or recovery.

As a manager, using a total control solution such as Startim you will know that your plant is being operated within all plant safety guidelines, with an audit trail of automated actions and manual interventions.

Experience of using Startim on a number of processing units has demonstrated the practical benefit of defining current best practice for operating procedures and automating their complete implementation.

Repeatability and reliability then become the cornerstones of delivering and improving on current best practice with all its present day financial rewards.

Additionally, a system that takes best practice and retains it as 'Corporate Memory' can significantly reduce future risk.
