PRIDE Automation Software 9.3.0 is now available
Innovative solutions tailored to your automation needs.
Operational excellence in chemical manufacturing is foundational. From batch production to continuous processing, teams work in environments where a single missed step can impact safety, quality, or compliance. As plants scale across complex assets and hazardous zones, paper based procedures, manual approvals, and disconnected systems introduce unnecessary risk.
Chemical manufacturing operates under strict regulatory oversight from organizations such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency, alongside global standards like IEC 61511, ISA 84, and API RP 754. This demands rigorous documentation, auditability, and precise execution.
Daily operations require discipline across Permit to Work, lockout tagout, confined space entry, hot work, line breaks, and startup or shutdown activities. Turnarounds add pressure through contractor coordination, punchlist control, and tight schedules. At the same time, plants must protect asset reliability, manage batch quality and traceability, and meet environmental expectations through LDAR and emissions control.
Cybersecurity, fragmented DCS, CMMS, LIMS, EHS, and document systems, workforce turnover, and limited connectivity in hazardous areas further complicate execution.
Static documents and manual signoffs make it easy for steps to be skipped or misinterpreted, especially during complex startups, grade changes, and maintenance. Without real time enforcement, human error becomes unavoidable and audits become disruptive.
PRIDE Automation digitizes end to end plant execution. SOPs and electronic work packages guide startups, shutdowns, grade changes, line changeovers, cleaning, and decontamination with consistency and accountability.
Permit to Work unifies lockout tagout, hot work, confined space, and line breaks with built in gas tests, isolations, and approvals. Management of Change and PSSR are guided through structured reviews with evidence capture. Operator rounds, maintenance, calibration, SIS proof testing, quality sampling, LDAR, incident reporting, turnarounds, and training drills run through connected digital workflows.
PRIDE delivers conditional digital procedures, enforced critical steps, and independent signoffs with full audit trails. Field teams capture photos and video with asset context, even offline on intrinsically safe devices. Version control manages controlled releases, while analytics track right first time execution, permit efficiency, MOC cycle time, SIS coverage, and recurring delays. Contextual risk controls are embedded directly into every job.
PRIDE integrates with historians like AVEVA PI and AspenTech IP.21, CMMS and EAM platforms including SAP, IBM Maximo, and Infor EAM, plus MES systems from Emerson Electric, Rockwell Automation, Honeywell, and Siemens.
Additional integrations include Thermo Fisher Scientific SampleManager, Sphera, Beamex, plus document and identity platforms like Microsoft SharePoint and Okta.
Chemical manufacturers using PRIDE report stronger safety performance, fewer permit deviations, faster audits, and higher right first time execution. Turnarounds become more predictable, administrative effort drops through automatic system updates, reliability improves through standardized maintenance, and environmental results advance through tighter LDAR execution. Workforce onboarding accelerates with guided, multilingual procedures.
The industry is rapidly adopting digital Permit to Work, connected worker platforms, predictive maintenance, and quality analytics. Digital twins support training and outage planning, drones handle high risk inspections, and ESG reporting is becoming automated as emissions, LDAR, and operational records converge.
PRIDE enables this shift by turning chemical procedures into intelligent, connected workflows that scale safely with the industry.
