Overview

By targeting production and yield increases, as well as a reduction in energy consumption and other operating costs, effective real time optimisation (RTO) software can increase performance by up to 10%. As businesses align themselves towards the needs of the energy transition and a net zero future, RTO can offer tangible upside around improved operational efficiencies and reduced emissions footprints. This webinar will give an introduction to a new innovative model free, self-learning “autonomous agent” technology, enabling a simple, scalable and transparent optimisation solutions, fundamentally distinct from the status quo methods.

Traditional optimisation software tends to be “OEM closed” packages that can be more expensive, demand long lead-in times before implementation and are resource intensive. Deployed schemes also require high levels of ongoing maintenance, as an asset’s behaviour evolves and changes over time.

Ortomation’s approach works to greatly simplify RTO implementation, overcoming the hurdles that have habitually hindered its widespread application. As a result, return on investment is accelerated and improved.

This event is open to non-members.
