What is CPNET Process Mapper?

‍

Process Mapper turns your plant into a living, clickable flow map. It stitches together assets/units → sensors → recipes → quality → alerts → operator actions into one time-synced view. You can trace a defect back through the line, spot upstream precursors, see who changed which setpoint, and publish guardrails so the same issue doesn’t bite you twice.

‍

Built for: steel, plastics, construction materials, and other continuous manufacturing with complex, multi-stage lines

‍

How customers use Process Mapper

‍

Map the flow once

Use a simple Form to define units/steps (nodes), material flow (edges), and tag bindings (sensors, setpoints). Import from asset registry or P&ID.

‍

Pinpoint “Where will a problem happen?”

CPNET overlays a risk forecast along the map—combining drift, alarms, and CTQ predictors—to highlight hot zones before scrap or customer impact.

‍

Explain “What happened?”

Time-scrub through a process playback: see alarms, spec-ratio spikes, quality flags, and setpoint edits stacked on a synchronized timeline.

‍

Localize “Where in the process?”

Click a unit (e.g., secondary cooling, die zone 3) to see its local signals, upstream context, and downstream consequences tied to lots/rolls/coils.

‍

Operationalize “How to avoid it?”

Turn findings into guardrails (bounds, checklists, pre-shift warmups) and alerts (“if zone3 < 175 °C during startup, risk ↑”). Optionally hand off to Rx+ later for optimization—Process Mapper stands on its own.

‍

Prove accountability: “Who changed what & when?”

The Change Log links operator identity, shift, setpoint deltas, recipe loads, and effect windows (before/after quality & alerts).

‍

Share the story

Auto-generate a Process Report for the daily/shift meeting: key events, root-cause snippets, affected lots, and open actions—export as PDF/CSV or schedule by email.

‍

Why teams choose Process Mapper

‍

One pane for the truth – Flow map, timeline, quality, alerts, and change history—no more tab-hopping.

‍

Fast root cause – Trace defects backward to the first upstream divergence.

‍

Prevention built-in – Guardrails and alerts come straight out of the investigation.

‍

Trusted & auditable – Every conclusion cites when/where it happened and who changed what.

‍

Works with your stack – Historian/MES/LIMS/alarms + shift calendars in; dashboards and reports out.

‍

Ready to make your process self-explanatory?

‍

‍

With Process Mapper, you’ll know where a problem will happen, what happened, where in the line, how to prevent it, and who changed what—when. Walk into the meeting with answers, not a mystery.

‍

Let’s talk. We’ll map your line in CPNET and generate your first Process Report.
