The dynamic risk analyzer (DRA) provided by the present invention periodically assesses real-time or historic process data, or both, associated with an operations site, such as a manufacturing, production, or processing facility, including a plant's operations, and identifies hidden near-misses of such operation, when in real time the process data appears otherwise normal. DRA assesses the process data in a manner that enables operating personnel including management at a facility to have a comprehensive understanding of the risk status and changes in both alarm and non-alarm based process variables. The hidden process near-miss data may be analyzed alone or in combination with other process data and/or data resulting from prior near-miss situations to permit strategic action to be taken to reduce or avert the occurrence of adverse incidents or catastrophic failure of a facility operation.
Please help me write a proper abstract based on the patent claims. CLAIM: 1. A system for predicting risk levels for manufacturing operations with risk indicators comprising: a server that receives process data from a real-time data source and/or a historical archive data source comprising a relational database with a key-value storage solution; a processor that analyzes values of parameters P and/or groups G of said parameters P of said process data at time interval T to identify operational risk and/or near-miss risk that would otherwise be unknown or concealed in parameters P, whereby said operational risk and/or near-miss risk may be used for strategic corrective action; and a display that presents said operational risk and/or near-miss risk in a graphic that visually depicts a plotted value V of parameter(s) P of said operational risk and/or near-miss risk in time interval T relationally within time period TP; wherein said system continuously and autonomously operates contemporaneously with said manufacturing operation. 2. A method for dynamic prediction of risk levels in a manufacturing operation comprising: identifying risk and/or near-miss risk of said manufacturing operation that would otherwise be unknown or concealed in parameters P and/or groups G of said parameters P of process data, said process data comprising: data collected from said manufacturing operation and processed in either (a) real-time or (b) from an archive server having a relational database with a key-value storage solution, or both; and displaying said risk or near-miss risk in a graphic that visually reports a plotted value V of parameter(s) P of said risk or near-miss risk relationally within time T period, whereby said plotted value V is displayed with a variable visual indicator corresponding with magnitude of said plotted value V; wherein said method is performed continuously and autonomously. 3. A display system for risk indicators for a manufacturing operation comprising: identifying risk and/or near-miss risk of said manufacturing operation that would otherwise be unknown or concealed in parameters P and/or groups G of said parameters P of process data in either real-time and/or historically from an archive server having a relational database with a key-value storage solution; plotting parameter P of said risk and/or near-miss risk on a circular or semi-circular chart of graphic visual indicators comprising: a petal for P parameter at each T time interval; said petal comprising an area plotted with a radius R having a maximum and minimum reportable length and an angle spread greater than 1 degree, wherein said length of said radius R corresponds with a magnitude of said parameter P at said T time interval and partially determines said area of said petal displayed on said chart; and displaying said parameter P at a time interval on said chart over a predetermined time period TP.
