Chemical
Achieving a competitive advantage in the chemical industry is enabled through process optimization. Driving improved efficiency, while hitting targets for safety and sustainability, requires data analytics that support the decision-making needed to refine and improve operations. Measuring and monitoring overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is key.
At Apperture, we will collect data from devices throughout your plant, and then aggregate and analyze that data to identify trends and patterns, ensuring that you have the reports needed to maintain compliance, as well as the appropriate tools to improve operations. In collaboration with your team, we can determine and measure KPIs that align with your business goals and guide proactive decision-making.
Consumer Products
Dynamic markets, like consumer product manufacturing, require an agile approach driven by efficiency and flexibility. Optimizing production efficiency, while operating reliably, can provide a significant competitive advantage. Predicting product quality can enable manufacturers to achieve real time release or reduced cycle time in batch processes. Understanding energy consumption for various recipes enables analysis and optimization of utilities and energy production, allowing facilities to meet sustainability targets.
Apperture will work with you to define your strategy—whether focused on efficiency, reliability, quality, or sustainability. Once your outcomes are defined, we will architect a solution that fits within your existing environment, and then design, develop, and deploy the best solution, in collaboration with key stakeholders, to ensure that your desired business results are achieved.

Energy
The energy industry is continuously challenged to improve efficiency, reliability, safety, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. Prioritizing these areas can help facilities reduce fuel consumption, increase output, improve safety, reduce environmental impact, optimize operations, and stay competitive.
At Apperture, we aim to increase reliability by using breakthrough technologies to monitor and protect critical rotating assets, instruments, and valves. Our tools include handheld, wireless, and online technologies, along with professional services, to allow site personnel to have a continuous understanding of their asset health. This enables operations to confidently run their equipment safely and reliably, while focusing on critical assets. Using state of the art technologies, analytics, and machine learning, we partner with energy producers to run more efficiently, safer and with a greener footprint.
Pulp & Paper
Pulp and paper mills must navigate a complex and competitive landscape to remain profitable and sustainable over the long-term. Remaining competitive involves optimizing production, improving reliability, enhancing efficiency, and reducing costs—all while maintaining quality, achieving sustainability targets, ensuring safety, and meeting regulatory requirements.
Apperture will work with you to leverage the latest technology. Our experience deploying advanced process control and analytics aids in minimizing production costs. We leverage the latest sensor technology and prognostic tools to improve reliability and drive predictive maintenance, while improving workflow through integrated platforms. The enterprise solutions we deploy enable collaboration across mills—reducing costs and improving profitability.
Metals & Mining
To obtain maximum asset utilization and throughput in a capital-intensive industry, you need the right data analytics framework. Our experts can help you focus on unbiased facts that represent a realistic view of not only specific equipment, but also the mining process. At Apperture, we bring a reliability and process-focused approach to derive value from the wealth of instrumentation embedded across your mining operations.
Vibration sensors can play a key role in condition monitoring for critical assets, such as mining conveyors, transfer chutes, and rotating equipment. Using dashboard and alert systems, we can contextualize the vast amounts of geo-scientific, asset condition, and operational data. Metrics and KPIs will quickly target root causes and operational bottlenecks, setting the stage for long-term operational excellence.
