Impact of Disconnected Analytics
Impact • Decisions are delayed — insight depends on
manual data movement and offline reconciliation between teams.
• Enterprise initiatives are disconnected from operational realities — models are built on assumptions or static snapshots instead of live plant data.
Result Most fail to deliver value at scale

Supply Chain vs Operational Constraints
• Operations are throttled, but root causes span both OT and business systems
• Engineers see asset-level issues, but miss issues like fuel delivery delays, tank availability, or commercial constraints
• Siloed data systems and groups prevent clear attribution of lost production or efficiency
• Use Seeq to tag constrained periods (e.g. assets idling, flaring, or running below capacity)
• Ingest Seeq conditions into Databricks to combine SME context with business data to attribute constraints across physical, supply chain, and commercial domains
• Produce results in Power BI / Fabric
• Shared visibility into why throttling happens—whether it's due to tanks being full, fuel delays, or scheduling misalignment
• Enables cross-functional teams to act on root causes using data from systems they already trust
• Supports better scheduling, purchasing, and CapEx planning by tying operational impact to business constraints

End-to-End Profitability Analysis by Unit
• Ops teams lack visibility into the true profitability of specific operating modes or campaigns
• Finance teams can't accurately attribute costs or margins to when and how production occurred
• OT and IT data live in silos, limiting cross-functional analysis
• Use Seeq to segment campaigns (startups, steady-state, ramp-down, outages) and flag abnormal periods
• Ingest conditions and signals in Databricks from Seeq, where analysts in Fabric combine this data with: • Fuel contracts, production volumes, maintenance costs,
trading prices, staffing levels, carbon intensity
• Profitability scored by campaign, shift, or unit
• Engineers and analysts work from a shared timeline, improving alignment on decisions
• Enables prioritization of high-margin strategies and identification of unprofitable modes

Sustainability Reports with Business Attribution
• Engineers can detect emissions excursions, but lack visibility into downstream impact on sustainability goals
• Sustainability and compliance teams struggle to trace back ESG deviations to specific assets, shifts, or decisions
• OT data and business data are disconnected, making auditable, granular ESG reporting difficult
• Use Seeq to detect, tag, and quantify emissions events (NOx, SOx, CO₂), high water usage, or flare volumes
• Analysts produce sustainability-adjusted metrics using Seeq data with data from other sources in Databricks via Fabric • Feedstock origin, contract data, product shipment
records, permit thresholds, and carbon price curves
• Enables traceable ESG performance down to asset or campaign level
• Engineers and sustainability analysts work from common event definitions
• Supports audits, investor reporting, and regulatory compliance with aligned data across departments
