Intellect 3.0 Virtual Sensor Auto Recalibration Supported

Intellect 2.0 provided "Tracking Predictors" that self-calibrate to on-line instruments or test results achieving "Class A" (>95% accurate, zero/low maintenance) prediction estimates. A more flexible version is now available in Intellect 3.0. In Intellect 3.0 we made it more flexible by separating the prediction and calibration processes. This enables access to both the raw and calibrated predictions and customization of the re-calibration process.

Adjustments can span across many virtual sensors from one performance measurement process. This is important... Let's say the outputs from multiple unit operations are combined and *then* performance is measured on that aggregate. We can then back-allocate the error from the combined performance to the individual unit operations using an algorithm. For a more tangible example, let's say you are estimating the output of oil from a number of wells and the wells' outputs are summed to a platform level where there is a meter. We can then compute the error at the platform level and back-calibrate the individual wells' production estimates.

This change is now available in the Intellect 3.0 server and also the drag-drop Solution Designer application. This capability will be automatically deployed to customers subscribed to Remote Management Services (RMS).

Intellect 3.0 Deployment

As we begin roll-out with visualization, causal analysis and virtual sensing capabilities, another Intellect 3.0 system is now being deployed in manufacturing, focusing on process understanding and product performance enhancement.
