Specific Energy Consumption - Root Cause Analysis Agent
Fluctuating Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) often stems from fragmented data that fails to correlate electrical loads with mechanical throughput. Our AI-driven SEC-RCA Agent bridges this gap, integrating diverse data sources to autonomously identify consumption spikes and perform deep root cause analysis. By delivering prescriptive insights directly to operators, the agent transforms complex variables into actionable steps to restore peak efficiency.
