An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
The Cerebra Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) from Flutura captures and analyzes sensor telemetry for heavy industry, with a particular focus on petrochemical.
Cerebra answers three questions for field technicians: what is failing, how long until it fails, and what does the technician need to do next.
This analysis follows a healthcare metaphor, collating signals into episodes that lead to prognoses and interventions. An episode is a pattern of data that indicates a problem may be about to occur, empowering field technicians to take the appropriate preventative measures, thus reducing downtime and optimizing maintenance spend, especially for mission-critical systems.
In addition to sensor telemetry, Cerebra also incorporates design parameters and component physics in order to build ‘digital twins’ of industrial components.
The addition of physics to the notion of a digital twin is an important differentiator for Flutura, because it gives engineers greater insight into both normal and abnormal behavior of each component, useful for both the design of complicated industrial systems as well as supporting their optimal use and maintenance over time.
