Industry 4.0 advances have eased the quick adoption and deployment of predictive analytics tools in manufacturing environments. CemAI is the cement industry specific, human-enhanced machine learning/artificial intelligence (ML/AI) application that promotes the latest developments in prescriptive (data-based) maintenance practices. It utilizes all available plant data (current and historical) and detects equipment and process anomalies at early stages, preventing breakdowns and production interruptions. Detected anomalies are processed and analyzed by deep domain experts who provide actionable troubleshooting instructions to line operators and keep collaborating with them until equipment and process are fully restored. Prevented failures and process disruptions are fully documented and used to evaluate the avoided downtime hours, production loss, maintenance and overtime costs among others. These key performance indicators are reported regularly to management teams so they can track the benefits from the increased plant availability, improved performance and cost reduction. CemAI’s unique approach in failure prevention can be deployed in few weeks and starts generating results from day one. No site-personnel training is required, or additional plant headcount is needed since all diagnostics are performed by the CemAI domain experts who work closely with plant personnel until all events are successfully addressed. CemAI is taking the industry to the digital era, maximizing plant performance, empowering your team.
