We Deliver Value
We’ve been working with pulp and paper manufacturing plants for over 25 years, saving each facility an average of $1MM annually by enabling better coordination and collaboration across shifts and throughout the chain of command. We have recently expanded into the Fuel Ethanol industry, and the results are quite promising.
Our clients are experiencing a return on investment of less than six months. Making data-driven decisions every day in manufacturing facilities is always important, but it is critical to survival in large plants making products for commodity markets. Predictive modeling leverages the advances companies have made by adopting Lean Six Sigma and other productivity-enhancing tools and techniques, and takes them to a new level.
We Help Customers Manage the Future
Prospector utilizes a proprietary, customized mass and energy balance model, based on each plant’s actual historian data and specific capacities and constraints. It enables managers and operators to plan Maintenance Outages more effectively, realistically assess the benefits of potential new processes and unit operations, plan and execute chemical trials, and quickly identify areas of opportunity for process improvements. It can automate compliance reporting and facilitates Energy Management. A major potential source of saving for many plants is using predictive modeling to take advantage of Time Variant Pricing of utilities.
A common response from our customers is “we’re finally using our data to look FORWARD instead of just backwards!” We enable our clients to manage the future, rather than react to it!
