![Improved reliability — Gains in production — Reduced costs and downtime](https://novahydromet.ca/wp-content/uploads/Mining-Mineral-Processing_Plant-r1.jpg)
Improved reliability.
Gains in production.
Reduced costs and downtime.
AI-Powered Software
Human-enhanced machine learning software that detects equipment failures and process deviations in the very early stages, well before human or DCS Alerts.
Features include:
- AI-powered early alerts: prepare a plan of action, long before the discovered issues have a significant impact on your plant. The earlier you detect a failure, the less it costs to repair it and the equipment is most often still recoverable.
- Unsupervised and supervised AI: ensure that you receive alerts on known or repeating issues in addition to discovering unknown issues without human guidance.
- Data security: SAM GUARD® is ISO 27001 certified and can be hosted on-site or in the cloud.

How the Software Works
We create a Digital Twin of your plant in the software, mapping all relationships between data tags and the process.

Use Case 1

Use Case 2
At a remote piece of mining equipment, SAM GUARD® detected a leak in a sealant line long before anyone would have been physically present to notice.
SAM GUARD® detects failures before process parameters exceed single variable upper or lower control limits by monitoring multi-variate norms – in this case sealant flow and motor temperature.
