Applied AI
We create and implement customized intuitive software-based tools to enhance operator effectiveness that result in the improved operational performance and consistency of your processes.
We believe the optimization of processes begins with people. People have experiential knowledge. Technology offers the tools to make that knowledge accessible. Combined, they improve plant operations, and drive profitability by reducing waste, improving byproduct stability, increasing efficiency, and optimizing OPEX.
Problems we can help you solve:
- Compensate for knowledge loss and variability in operator experience levels
- Create operational consistency
- Alleviate complete dependence on process screens that require training and experience to interpret
- Improve the process by reducing the reliance on individual operator experience to drive process outcome
- Identify and correct constraints that limit production or increase waste
Who We Serve
We work directly with end users who have intimate operations knowledge and are close to the challenges they have with their plant and process systems in the following industries:
Power
Paper
Cement
Steel
Smelting, Refining
Food and Beverage
Chemical, Refining
Water Resource Recovery Facilities
How We Work
We are not a training organization, and we are not a distributor of high-tech software solutions.
We believe that in any given industrial process there are three broad and interdependent components that each play an integral part in the success of the process: People, Operations Technology (OT), and Information Technology (IT). We like to show this relationship with what we call The People-OT-IT Triangle.
The People-OT-IT Triangle
We develop tailored solutions, focusing on the ideal mix of People, OT, and IT for our customers allowing their operators and process engineers to achieve results in the most cost-effective manner possible. We believe the next level of innovation in our organizations comes from how we make our processes and systems more effective by finding the right combination of people and technology. Both need each other to be successful, thus they are not mutually exclusive resources.
People have the experiential “tribal knowledge” that is an integral part of our process effectiveness. Technology offers tools to share knowledge, integrate systems and best practices into operating scenarios, and make continuous improvements. The results are exponential benefits from consistent operations, retained knowledge, improved process efficiency, and more impactful O&M spending.
