AI for process reliability in chemical manufacturing and beyond
Detect deviations early. Diagnose the fault mechanism. Act before production is impacted.
Faults spread through interconnected processes. By the time a conventional alarm is triggered, the problem may already have propagated far from where it began. Industrial plants collect enormous amounts of process data, yet most monitoring systems show where abnormal behavior appears — not where it starts. Engineers are then left to trace the problem manually, often taking days to weeks to identify the root cause and delaying corrective action.
Fouling, crystallization or a partial blockage develops in one part of the process.
Pressure, flow and temperature begin to deviate. Controllers compensate, and alarms multiply across the system.
Only later do asset-level indicators such as vibration or temperature reveal the problem. By then, engineers must trace the disturbance back to its origin while keeping production running.
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) combines availability, performance and quality to measure how much on-spec output a plant produces relative to its planned production capacity. Move the sliders to see how losses in each factor affect the overall result.
76% × 60% × 90%
A 5-point OEE increase means 12% more on-spec output at the same planned production time and design rate.
KIIO models the relationships between process variables and control actions. Changes in these relationships can reveal faults before individual signals trigger alarms, helping your team detect problems earlier, reduce false alarms and investigate the cause.
Track how process variables and control actions relate to each other as operating conditions change.
Identify whether a fault likely starts in a sensor, an actuator or the process itself, and trace how its effects spread.
Estimate how severe a fault is and how confident the diagnosis is, helping your team decide what to investigate first.
Give process and maintenance teams likely explanations and specific checks to verify them.
KIIO estimates fault severity, distinguishes sensor and actuator problems, and reconstructs missing data using relationships between variables.
KIIO estimates fault severity and the uncertainty in its diagnosis. It also tracks gradual degradation, helping your team judge how quickly a problem is developing and plan when to intervene.
An unexpected reading can come from a drifting sensor or an actuator that no longer responds to commands. KIIO models how control actions affect the process to help distinguish the two and identify which component to check.
Data gaps, noise and irregular sampling are common in plant datasets. KIIO uses relationships between variables to reconstruct missing or corrupted values. It also learns the delays caused by material moving through the plant and controllers responding, without manual time alignment.
