Supreme Cortex Engineering Analysis Platform
Physics-grounded historian analysis for production support and process engineering teams investigating plant events, performance, and optimization opportunities.
The Historian Investigation Bottleneck
The Status Quo
- Fragmented Evidence: Relevant signals sit inside large exports with site-specific names, units, intervals, and data gaps.
- Engineering Bandwidth: Process engineers spend hours aligning event windows and reviewing hundreds of trends alongside competing production priorities.
- Limited Traceability: Reasoning, assumptions, and dispositions are difficult to preserve when each investigation is assembled manually.
The Engineering Analysis Workflow
- Readiness Screening: Checks time coverage, sampling, gaps, and required process channels before analysis.
- Confirmed Context: Maps historian tags to canonical roles and units, with engineer confirmation before execution.
- Physics-Grounded Investigation: Produces hypotheses, evidence, recommended checks, and optimization opportunities for adjudication.
From Export to Engineering Decision
The workflow begins with a CSV or XLSX historian export. The engineer defines the case and event window, then uploads the file for structured review.
The platform checks timestamps, sampling intervals, gaps, duration, and required process roles before a run proceeds. The readiness summary shows what the data can support.
Suggested mappings connect client tag names and units to canonical process roles. The engineer reviews and confirms that context before analysis begins.
Physics-grounded analysis develops findings and supporting evidence from the confirmed data. The engineer reviews each result, records a disposition, and exports a traceable case report.
Historian Export to Adjudicated Case
Engineer-Governed Workflow
- Upload and Screen: The engineer uploads a historian export and reviews the readiness summary for coverage, continuity, and required roles.
- Confirm Context: Suggested tag and unit mappings become analysis inputs after engineer confirmation.
- Analyze and Adjudicate: Physics-grounded findings, evidence, and optimization opportunities are reviewed and dispositioned in the case record.
Blind Synthetic Validation Protocol
Decoupled Data Generator
A separate simulator produces 30 days of physically sound DCS data with injected noise, sensor gaps and randomized tags.
Blind Analysis
The analysis engine receives only the design basis and data, with no knowledge of the injected faults, and evaluates the run blind.
Separate Automated Scorer
A separate program compares the analysis reports to the hidden ground-truth ledger for accuracy and timing.
Synthetic Validation Performance
Target Fault Classifications
Feed Loss Process
Upstream feed failure leading to steady liquid inventory decline and pump cavitation risk.
DetailsTank Overfill Process
Inlet valve stuck open. Inventory rises toward emergency high-high trips or atmospheric release.
DetailsPad Valve Stuck Open Process
Nitrogen supply valve stuck in open position, continuously pressurizing vapor space.
DetailsPVRV Stuck Open Process
Vapor pressure safety valve venting gas continuously to atmosphere, causing utility loss.
DetailsPadding Gas Loss Process
Upstream N₂ supply failure while drawing liquid, creating structural vessel vacuum risk.
DetailsHeater De-energized Process
Electrical immersion heater failure. Fluid cools, risking line freezing or off-spec conditions.
DetailsLevel Transmitter (LIC) Process
Telemetry level signal freezes. Loop continues static output while inventory drifts blindly.
DetailsPressure Transmitter (PIC) Process
Pneumatic vapor pressure reading freezes. Automated system drifts unchecked.
DetailsPump Bearing Wear Equipment
Progressive bearing degradation across up to 4 pumps. Vibration/temperature trends.
DetailsTube-Side Fouling Process
Silt, scaling, or organic deposit accumulation inside the tubes, reducing cooling effectiveness.
DetailsFin (Air-Side) Fouling Process
Dust, debris, or insect accumulation blocking draft airflow through external fin banks.
DetailsTube Plugging Process
Hydraulic restriction / narrowing of tube bores, risking pump overpressure or feed limits.
DetailsFan Belt Slip Equipment
Slipping or worn drive belts leading to reduced fan shaft speed and loss of draft cooling.
DetailsMotor Overload Equipment
Mechanical binding or high blade pitch causing motor current and winding temp to spike.
DetailsCooling-Air Loss Equipment
Blocked cowl or hot air recirculation causing motor winding temp rise under normal current.
DetailsFan Imbalance Equipment
Blade erosion, dirt buildup, or ice causing high overall vibration at normal bearing temps.
DetailsFan Bearing Wear Equipment
Progressive mechanical wear showing as concurrent rises in both vibration and bearing temperature.
DetailsA Growing Need for Engineering-Grade Historian Analytics
Physics-First Engineering Analysis for On-Premises Use
Engineer-readable physics
First-principles process models provide a traceable technical basis for every finding.
Offline-capable by design
Process analysis runs on premises. Optional signed updates use only a client-approved outbound connection.
Physics-based initial configuration
Synthetic physics models support initial configuration, followed by site data mapping and validation.
Modular unit configurations
Design-basis templates are built to adapt across comparable tanks, pumps, air coolers, and fired heaters.
Land, Prove, Expand
Historian Investigation Pilot
Collaborative investigation of selected historian-export cases with pre-agreed questions, engineering KPIs, and engineer adjudication.
Convert to Annual License
Measured pilot performance supports an on-premises annual license and expansion across comparable units at the site.
Expand Unit and Site Coverage
New unit classes and additional sites support stepwise expansion after performance is established.
