REACTIVE

THE OLD WAY OF RUNNING PROCESSES Traditional technologies use descriptive and diagnostic analytics with a reactive focus on what happened and why it happened.

PROACTIVE

THE PROCESSMINER DIFFERENCE Powered by 2,000+ prediction models and proprietary algorithms, our manufacturing AI software analyzes your historical and real-time data and closes the loop on data-driven proactive corrections, preventing process inefficiencies.
Process Data Connectivity Continuous access to machine data is provided through ongoing connectivity to the historian and production IIoT devices, which store, log, and unify your data. Data Fusion OT is mapped and enhanced, giving you a holistic view of operations. Advanced Analytics/Machine Learning Dashboard tracks your main KPIs. Predictions become more accurate overtime via adaptive machine learning capabilities. Continuous Optimization Modeling prediction prescriptions provide accurate predictions on production process outcomes and delivers continuous automated improvements. Autonomous Control IIoT devices and controllers provide recommendations based on your data, giving you autonomous control of your machines.

Closed Loop

Monitor

Clean, relevant, and actionable data is key to automate production processes. ProcessMiner monitors all your historical and real-time data to make sure your server is powered with trustworthy data you can act on. Data analysis uncovers gaps, faulty sensors, and needed adjustments to improve your production rate. Connected to sensors across your plant, our AI manufacturing software reviews plant data 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Predict

With the modeling complete, ProcessMiner’s machine-learning algorithms use the aggregated data to spot inefficiencies and problems before they occur. Paired with AI, our manufacturing automation platform then forecasts what will happen during the production run, equipping you with recommendations to improve operational efficiency and quality.

Recommend

ProcessMiner provides easy-to-read suggestions on improving processes and performance measures. Simply log into your dashboard for an overview of your unique performance metrics. Recommendations are listed according to their potential impact and are aimed at helping you improve product quality, increase yield and throughput, and reduce costs, waste, and energy.

Closed Loop

With each observation, recommendation, and adjustment, ProcessMiner’s machine learning and AI gain more information regarding your processes. It uses these insights to perfect future predictions and forecasts and optimize processes over time.

Optimize

Advanced machine learning models adjust to the constantly changing data our sensors identify in your manufacturing processes. Our self-learning, self-adapting AI was built to improve over time. The longer ProcessMiner is used, the more it improves.

Learn

With good, clean data behind it, our software applies advanced data science and machine learning techniques to your manufacturing operations, giving you new insights into how to improve your processes and drive ROI. From Microsoft Azure to Litmus, our clients use ProcessMiner to improve product quality, cut down on waste, hit their sustainability goals, and save up to 500k per year per production line on average.

PHASE 1
Define

Our manufacturing data experts do their due diligence to understand how to best tailor ProcessMiner to your unique operational needs and current performance. Together, we will define the scope and KPIs, covering the metrics that matter most to you and your business.

Icon

PHASE 2
Implement

We review your current and historical processes and production data to ensure they're reliable, relevant, and of high quality. After reviewing the data and making any necessary changes to help ensure quality standards and reliability, we move to implementation.

PHASE 3
Measure

You can only improve what you measure. Our team digs into the results to understand the impact of our recommendations. Once we secure the consensus of your team, you sign off and we deploy to production.

What type of data do you need to support implementation?

ProcessMiner leverages historical process data, production run sampling, QA lab tests, and real-time data from in-line sensors, camera systems, and meters.

How is your AI process automation platform different from the ERP, MES, MRM, or analytic solutions available in the market?

ProcessMiner is a SaaS turnkey AI closed-loop system. Our proprietary algorithms and deep learning techniques use a subset of the process data from the historian (and other operational systems mentioned) along with real-time updates from inline sensors, vision systems, manual lab tests, and more to predict production outcomes, recommend corrective action if expected outcomes are outside specs, and execute the correction autonomously with no human interaction.

What areas of business improvement opportunities does your autonomous control solution focus on?

Our primary focus is helping manufacturers automate and optimize production processes. The resulting production value includes but is not limited to, optimizing product quality, reducing waste, minimizing consumption of raw materials, and improving overall equipment effectiveness.

What types of elements of the production process can ProcessMiner control autonomously?

Our autonomous control solution can control any pump, valve, switch, gauge, actuator, or other device accessible through any IIoT gateway or SCADA system. Typically, our platform controls key process parameters such as recipe, chemistry, flow, heat, cooling, and pressure.

What type of skillset is required to support the implementation of a process manufacturing automation solution at the corporate and plant levels?

Despite leveraging the latest state-of-the-art technologies, ProcessMiner was designed from the ground up as a fully operational autonomous control platform specifically for floor manufacturing environments and their processes. For this reason, the data models that act as the backbone of our solution were designed to be adaptive and self-learning, with easy-to-use graphical interfaces (I/F) and dashboards. Our clients can take full advantage of our platform without the need to staff expensive and hard-to-find data scientists, modelers, or analytic SMEs.

There are several AI and analytic systems on the market today. How is ProcessMiner different?

Compared to competitive offerings, which require significant deployment consulting and development time, ProcessMiner is a fully functional turnkey SaaS platform requiring no CapEx spending. ProcessMiner is a purpose-built solution designed from the ground up to address the specific operational and technical challenges faced by continuous manufacturers of all sizes. By applying cutting-edge AI and ML techniques, we can predict quality outcomes during a production run and proactively execute real-time adjustments to process control parameters to improve manufacturing processes and meet customer quality specifications.

A large percentage of our process data is manually tracked via shared Excel files. Can that be used to support ProcessMiner?

The short answer is yes. Our automated manufacturing system uses historical, sample, lab tests, and real-time data from critical stages of the production line process. Typically, we need 6-12 months of process data baseline to effectively feed our data models. Whether the data is manually or automatically collected, it can be fed into our models. We can accept most standard data formats, including flat file, relational, TXT, CVS, XML, SQL, JSON, etc.
