"Our ability to capture, warehouse and understand massive amounts of data is changing science, medicine, business and technology. As our collection of facts and figures grows, so will the opportunity to find answers to fundamental questions... Because in the era of big data, more isn't just more... More is different... This is a world where massive amounts of data and applied mathematics replace every other tool that might be brought to bear... With enough data, the numbers speak for themselves... We can throw the numbers into the biggest computing clusters the world has ever seen and let statistical algorithms find patterns where science cannot"
~Editor-in-chief Chris Anderson, Wired Magazine, June, 2008
What if a predictive model set aside theoretical "first principles" and let the real-time data speak for itself. What would happen if we could hear the true voice of the process?
Process Engineers would have confidence – supported by hard data – that the strategies they deploy will mitigate upsets and enhance facility performance within much tighter limits.
As any seasoned operator will tell you, there is the manufacturer's recommended control, and there's the one that actually works. Pattern Discovery delivers predictive analytics derived from real events in your facilities. No theory. No guesses.
