Manufacturers are under constant pressure to deliver products for an ever-increasing demand.

Evolutions AI brings 5 decades of global industrial experience married to state of the technology including AI to deliver the best in class solution for whatever the needs of our clients.

Below is a Evolutions AI business case describes but one application.

Client profile

  • Industrial manufacturer semi rural
  • $50 mm a year steel fabrication facility
  • Steel stock milled into custom and production auto mobile components
  • Facility includes multiple large CNC machines 3-phase 480v
  • Facility power a large 480v 3-phase from local utility

Issues

  • Power quality. Utility is not consistent in providing reliable and quality service including operating voltages and frequency.
  • Facility is dated not built for the operation.
  • Power issues interrupt production.

Solution

Phase one.
Analysis of (1) customer location including machine requirements and operating ranges and (2) the existing facility’s issues with power compared the needs.

Phase two.
Re-engineer power distribution into facility from main distribution system, improve grounding. Installation of additional power sources using gas generators into the facility micro grid. Load shedding basic facilities such as lighting to solar based system being added. Upgrade building systems.

Phase three.
Installation of logic control system that utilizes io from all equipment and gathering data via an edge system to include monitoring and load balancing power.

Phase four.
Processing collected data via cloud from edge using ai in real Time to allow machines to communicate direct to machines. This enables the logic ai system to adjust power to individual vfd units for frequency based upon current loads and production schedules for individual machines.

Result

Facility down time for machines reduced by 69% from optimization of power and creating a higher quality power source that’s reliable. System self adjusting and predicting maintenance of machines. Power costs reduced by 23%.
