Neal Analytics technology knowledge and experience
Extruder operations optimization
From food to plastic and metal, extruders are used across industries for countless manufacturing processes. Traditional control systems, such as PLCs, do an excellent job at controlling extruders when all parameters are relatively stable. However, extruders age, raw material characteristics vary depending on the batch or supplier, and other environmental variables change. Therefore, it is not always possible for operators to consistently adapt control parameters and do it in a timely fashion to ensure optimum production yield, quality, and waste reduction.
With Neal’s PYO solution for extruders, an Autonomous System built using the Microsoft Project Bonsai toolchain will act as a meta-controller for your process. Neal specialists design the AI by including your best subject matter experts’ knowledge and relevant system and environmental variables. This AI agent, the so-called “brain,” will control or propose in real-time new parameters and setpoints for your process controller and will either let your operator supervise or have them perform the actions themselves.
Robotic control
Robotic control enables manufacturers to accelerate and normalize production. However, programming them is time-consuming and, once deployed, these programs can only support limited environmental changes. A misplaced component or a misaligned receptacle can be sufficient to throw the robot off its course and require human intervention.
With Neal Analytics’ Autonomous Systems solution for robotic control, manufacturers can deploy AI solutions that can make the robotic process more effective and resilient to changing environmental configurations.
Chemical process optimization
Chemical process outputs are often extremely sensitive to the slightest change in raw material characteristics or equipment behavior. Using AI-powered Autonomous Systems, chemical processes can become more robust these changes.
Traditional AI would require an extensive data set of labeled data as well as AI system design expertise. This is hardly possible on a live chemical process and without hiring expert data scientists.
Neal Analytics offers end-to-end services to design, train and deploy a yield optimization AI using the Microsoft Project Bonsai toolchain.
