Western Plains Energy – Digital Transformation Success

Western Plains Energy (WPE) in Oakley, Kansas, produces 50 million gallons of ethanol annually, relying on efficient data management for process optimization. Their old system limited access, with DCS data restricted to the control network and lab data scattered in spreadsheets, leading to time-consuming reconfiguration and impacting energy usage and production analysis. Check out how they used dataPARC to integrate their IT & OT data..

“dataPARC has given me the ability to access data anywhere, any time that I want it, any way that I want it.”
