Catch Equipment Failures Weeks Early

DOTA AI learns each asset's normal behavior from PI history, flags early deviations, and links them to past outages so repairs are planned, not forced.

The problem

Static alarm limits either fire all day long or trigger after the unit is already down, so failures turn into forced outages.

With DOTA AI

DOTA AI learns each asset's normal behavior from PI history, flags early deviations, and links them to past outages so repairs are planned, not forced.

How it works

From a question to a deployed app.

01

Ask

Learn normal behavior for pumps, fans and transformers from 2 years of PI data and flag early deviations.

02

Connect

PI historian, CMMS work orders and GADS events.

03

Learn

DOTA sets an expected band per asset and flags drift, like 23 days outside normal.

04

Match

It matches the pattern to past trips so maintenance can plan the repair now.

What you see
  • Unit 2 feedwater pump B: bearing vibration 23 days outside normal
  • Same pattern as 2 past trips, 260 forced outage hours
  • A planned weekend repair, instead of a peak-season forced outage
  • Estimated $640K forced outage cost avoided
