The following key objectives were specified with regard to automated statistical monitoring and control:
• Increased process knowledge
• Automated process optimization control with reduced process variation
• Focus of resources into areas of greatest potential gain to ultimately provide improved quality control, resource utilization, alumina production, safety, profitability and continuous improvement initiatives based on Six Sigma methodology.

The CSense product suite and associated services will allow Worsley Alumina to address these key objectives and in particular the two key focus areas:
1. Focus on Key Plant Issues
2. Focus on Early Indications of Process Disturbances

The targeted primary end users will be Control Room Operators and Production Control/Process Control Engineers and Superintendents. Motherwell Automation as CSense’s exclusive distributor in Western Australia will be involved in delivering a successful project. The project is scheduled to commence in April 2008.
