Manufacturing Use Case

Improving Yield in the Process Industry

Transforms analytical insights into operational actions — with complete data privacy. Every operator becomes an expert, elevating the organization's operational standard.

The Problem

In manufacturing, and especially in process industries, every percentage of scrap is pure profit lost — in raw materials, energy, throughput, and manpower.

  • High scrap levels: Due to lack of real-time control optimization and process monitoring
  • Disconnected data: Operational data exists but is disconnected from analytical insight
  • Inability to perform real-time Root Cause Analysis: Fault diagnosis is manual, delayed, and dependent on veteran knowledge
  • Lack of standardization: Process knowledge locked in individuals, not systematized across shifts and plants
  • Material waste and environmental impact: From overproduction or recurring faults

Bottom line: Control systems (SCADA/MES) display data but do not provide analytical understanding or explanations for faults. Every percentage of improvement in yield and scrap directly translates to profit.

Operational Pains & Quantified Impact

High Scrap Rates
Impact
Every 1% scrap = direct loss in raw materials, energy, throughput, and labor; typical manufacturing scrap rates: 3-8%
Solution
Real-time anomaly detection and root-cause analysis for scrap events
Reactive Maintenance
Impact
Unplanned downtime costs $260,000/hour for automotive, $50K-$200K/hour for process industries
Solution
Predictive failure detection before equipment impacts production
Process Inefficiencies
Impact
Operational data exists but disconnected from analytical insight; manual analysis is slow and inconsistent
Solution
Automated process optimization with actionable recommendations
Knowledge Dependency
Impact
Critical expertise locked in veteran employees; lack of standardized diagnosis across shifts and plants
Solution
AI-powered knowledge capture and operational standardization
