Autonomous Systems

Autonomous Systems combine simulation and Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) to achieve new levels in equipment performance. Rather than programmed rules, these systems self-learn through trial and error.

Trial-and-error training can’t happen in your production environment. Therefore, the first step in any Autonomous Systems project is to build a reliable simulator that will then be used to train the AI agent using DRL techniques.

Autonomous Systems are ideal for optimizing control systems that require extreme robustness despite being non-linear and multi-variable systems. For instance, Autonomous Systems have been used to optimize oil yield in underground horizontal drilling, controlling the yaw of wind turbines to maximize energy output, decide the optimal material feed rates and throat settings of a gyratory rock crusher, and more.

AI for Reliability

AI for Reliability is an end-to-end suite of offerings designed to improve the reliability of valuable assets in the field. Identify problems ahead of time, reduce equipment downtime, and lower costs with a solution engineered from data on historical failures, sensors, and external factors.

Intelligent Edge

Reduce costs and scale up operations across the value chain by bringing AI capabilities to the edge. Our expertise in intelligent edge technologies helps businesses take advantage of AI-enhanced reliability, vision analytics, IoT monitoring, and process automation for improved safety and efficiency.

Process automation
