Equipment Performance Monitoring Dashboard

Abstract

This project focuses on developing an Equipment Performance Monitoring System using Power BI to enhance the operational efficiency and reliability of PETRONAS's 12 downstream plants. The system addresses key challenges such as inconsistent equipment monitoring, barriers to cross-plant learning, and the prevention of unplanned incidents. By integrating advanced data analytics and interactive dashboards, the project identifies critical parameters for monitoring key equipment, including heat exchangers, boilers, and distillation columns. A structured methodology was applied to process raw data, calculate equipment healthiness using weighted metrics, and visualize performance trends in real-time. The Power BI dashboard provides features such as compliance tracking, healthiness indicators, and benchmarking tools to facilitate cross-plant learning and enable proactive decision-making. The system successfully achieves its objectives by equipping management with tools to monitor equipment performance, analyze compliance, and address prolonged issues, while also supporting cross-plant benchmarking and the adoption of best practices. Furthermore, it enhances operational reliability by preventing unplanned incidents through predictive analytics and early risk detection. This project highlights the importance of modern monitoring systems in improving safety, reducing downtime, and optimizing resource allocation. By leveraging these tools, PETRONAS ensures operational excellence and sustainability in its downstream operations.
