NexAI optimises manufacturing operations for improved efficiency and consistency
In the complex world of industrial manufacturing, operational efficiency and process control are critical to success. When a leading manufacturing company faced challenges with their aging automation systems, they turned to CapitalAI for an innovative solution. This success story demonstrates how our advanced NexAI platform transformed their operations, setting a new benchmark in the industry.
Challenge
Our client, a global manufacturing company, was grappling with persistent process control issues that were creating inefficiencies and increasing production costs. Operators struggled with the complex process which requires manual intervention, leading to production inefficiencies.
The client identified several critical issues:
- Difficult-to-modify Distributed Control Systems (DCS) with cumbersome mimics
- Over-reliance on operator skill and attention, resulting in inconsistent plant operation and reduced throughput
- Inability to forecast and monitor remaining running times for each sequence or be alerted to potential clashes
- No appetite for process downtime, re-commissioning, or large capital expenditures
- Incredibly complicated process that has many components and sequences that run asynchronously but share the same process streams with less than desirable observability.
CapitalAI Solution
CapitalAI was approached by the client due to our unique understanding of industrial systems and processes as well as our experience in utilising operational data. CapitalAI deployed its state-of-the-art NexAI platform to address the client’s operational challenges. This big data platform leverages operational data from connected IoT devices, machines, vehicles, and DCS systems to provide comprehensive insights and optimise processes.
