What makes DRA unique?DRA is a one-of-its-kind system with autonomous, self-optimizing machine learning algorithms that eliminate the need for model building and ongoing maintenance. It uniquely identifies risks at their inception, processes vast amounts of data rapidly, and delivers actionable insights. DRA is known for its rapid installation, seamless integration, and minimal training needs. Additionally, it operates securely within company firewalls, significantly reducing cybersecurity risks. Its scalability across various units and facilities without integration challenges further sets it apart, making it a highly effective solution for proactive risk detection in process industries.
-
What makes DRA easy to integrate into existing systems?DRA is designed for ease of integration. It can be installed in a day and becomes operational within two weeks without requiring extensive IT support or changes to existing infrastructure. Its compatibility to operate independently within company firewalls enhances its security and ease of deployment.
-
How is DRA different from self-service analytics?DRA differs significantly from self-service analytics primarily in its specialization and autonomy. DRA focuses on early risk detection using proprietary, self-optimizing unsupervised machine learning algorithms. It autonomously identifies anomalies and potential failures without requiring user intervention for model tuning or maintenance. In contrast, self-service analytics tools cater to a broad range of users and applications, requiring more input, customization, and manipulation from users to generate insights. DRA's deep operational analysis enables real-time, proactive risk management, which is crucial for preventing disruptions in plant operations.
