Use Case: Cummins Portfolio
Maintaining Operations Through Severe Data Loss
This use case highlights the resilience of the Ona Intelligence Layer and its ability to ensure operational continuity even in the face of significant infrastructure and data failures.
- Industry: Industrial
- Portfolio Size: Multi-MW
- Data Loss: 65%
The Challenge
The Cummins portfolio, a multi-megawatt collection of assets, experienced severe sensor and telemetry failures, resulting in a 65% loss of data points. For most monitoring and analytics systems, this would be catastrophic. Missing data is typically treated as downtime, rendering analytics and performance reporting useless.
The Solution: AI-Powered Data Reconstruction
The Ona Intelligence Layer treats missing data not as an absence, but as a signal to be interpreted. Our platform immediately identified the data loss and initiated an AI-powered data reconstruction process.
- ARIMA-Based Interpolation: We used Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models to intelligently interpolate the missing data points based on historical patterns.
- Machine Learning Ensemble: The interpolated data was then fed into a machine learning ensemble to reconstruct the full operational history of the assets with high fidelity.
- Uninterrupted Logic: All downstream logic, from maintenance schedules to grid compliance checks, continued to function without interruption.
The Results
The Ona Intelligence Layer turned a potential operational crisis into a non-event, demonstrating the value of a true intelligence layer over a simple monitoring dashboard.
- 100% Data Reconstruction: The platform successfully reconstructed the missing 65% of the data, providing a complete and accurate picture of the portfolio’s performance.
- Zero Grid Violations: Despite the massive data loss, all assets remained compliant with grid codes, avoiding costly penalties.
- 96% Faster Fault Detection: The system’s anomaly detection continued to function, identifying faults 96% faster than traditional methods would have, even with a fraction of the data.
- Operational Continuity: The business continued to operate smoothly, with no interruption to maintenance or reporting workflows.
