Solution

Capture value continuously with closed-loop Industrial AI.

Decision support is not enough when the opportunity exists 24/7. Intelecy promotes proven recommendations to governed setpoint updates, with operator approval, guardrails, and full audit.

The problem

What makes this operationally expensive today.

Decision support is not enough

Recommendations on a screen miss every off-shift opportunity.

Value leaks between shifts

Different operators adopt at different rates; gains evaporate overnight.

Automation feels risky

Without governance, write-back to the DCS is a non-starter for plant management.

Signals we monitor

The process indicators behind every recommendation.

Intelecy reads these signals from your Historian, DCS, and SCADA — no new sensors required to get started.

How Intelecy solves it

From signal to action, mapped to the modules.

STEP 01

Start with monitor-only

Live models run alongside the control system, building trust with operators and engineers.

Anomaly detection →

STEP 02

Move to recommend

Operators see proposed setpoint changes, accept or dismiss them, and the system learns acceptance patterns.

Prescriptive optimization →

STEP 03

Approve in workflow

Shift supervisors approve specific loops to operate with one-tap acceptance — every change logged.

Human approval →

STEP 04

Automate under guardrails

Hard min/max, max Δ per interval, and rollback conditions enforced before any write-back to the DCS.

Closed-loop automation →

Implementation

What it takes to stand this up.

Data needed

Same tags as the prescriptive model, plus DCS write-back endpoints once approved.

Timeline

Monitor in week 1, recommend in month 1, first closed-loop guardrails in quarter 1.

Stakeholders

Automation manager, process engineer, control room, plant safety, IT/OT.

Integration

Write-back via the Intelecy Gateway with documented protocols and an opt-in per loop.
