OptOps Monitor
Beyond Static Thresholds
With many facilities operating with 100,000+ data streams, it's impossible for a human operator to monitor them all. Traditional alerting systems with static thresholds do well to identify obvious faults, but edge cases still fall through the gaps. Subtle anomalies, gradual drifts, and context-dependent issues often go unnoticed until they become serious problems.
OptOps Monitor puts intelligent alerting in the hands of AI. When an alert is triggered, our AI system queries the relevant data and makes an assessment of its behaviour, raising it to a deep investigation if warranted. It's not just checking if a value is out of range; it's understanding whether that value makes sense given everything else happening at your facility.
Key Features
Intelligent Alert Triage
When an alert fires, the AI doesn't just pass it through. It queries the relevant data, examines the context, and makes an informed assessment. False positives are filtered out; genuine concerns are escalated appropriately.
Deep Investigation
When the AI identifies something that warrants further attention, it can automatically launch a deep investigation. This means examining related signals, checking historical patterns, and building a complete picture of what's happening.
Anomaly Detection
Go beyond simple threshold breaches. The AI learns what normal behaviour looks like for your facility and can identify subtle anomalies that static rules would miss, catching problems earlier when they're easier to address.
Continuous Monitoring
Monitor works around the clock, watching all your data streams simultaneously. It never gets tired, never loses focus, and never misses a shift handover. Your facility is always being watched by an intelligent system.
Context-Aware Analysis
Alerts are evaluated in context. The AI considers what else is happening at your facility, what events have occurred, and how signals relate to each other. A reading that's alarming in isolation might be perfectly expected given the current operating state.
Escalation Levels
Not all issues need the same response. Monitor can categorise alerts by severity and recommend appropriate actions, from simple logging to immediate operator notification to automatic protective responses.
A Supplement, Not a Replacement
Works Alongside Existing Systems
OptOps Monitor is designed to work alongside your existing hard alerting and safety systems, not replace them. Your established safety interlocks and critical alarms remain in place and unchanged.
Secondary Layer of Protection
Think of Monitor as a more refined and more sensitive supplement to your primary systems. It catches the edge cases, the subtle anomalies, and the context-dependent issues that static thresholds miss.
Why It Matters
Traditional alerting systems are binary: a value is either within its threshold or it isn't. But facility operations are rarely that simple. A reading might be technically within bounds but still unusual given the current operating conditions. Or it might be outside bounds but perfectly expected given a planned intervention.
Monitor brings intelligence to this process. Instead of rigid rules, you get an AI system that understands context, learns patterns, and makes nuanced judgements. It's like having an experienced operator watching every signal, all the time, catching the things that rules-based systems miss.
The result is earlier detection of genuine problems, fewer false alarms, and more confidence that nothing important is slipping through the cracks. Your operators can focus on the alerts that matter, knowing that the AI is handling the constant vigilance that no human team can maintain.
