Phaidra’s Artificial Intelligence Platform
Industrial Control System for the 21st Century
Phaidra provides AI controls as a service. Our AI agents act as virtual plant operators configured to assist operations teams with meeting any single or set of particular objectives within mission critical facilities. These objectives can be interrelated or independent. As long as there is properly labeled input data and necessary control mechanisms to take actions within the facility environment, AI agents can optimize the control strategy to meet those objectives.
Operations leaders are often expected to improve productivity and efficiency - only so much can be done with equipment and PLC updates. With all the maintenance needs of these highly complex production environments, there also just isn’t enough time to constantly monitor and tweak a control strategy to improve efficiency without sacrificing productivity.
“
Intelligence is the ability to process and use information to make predictions about the way that the world might unfold around you. Once a prediction is made, you can use it to make an intervention…And that is, what these [Artificial Intelligence] models are actually doing: Learning from large amounts of past data to make predictions about how the future unfolds, then take actions based on those predictions, to try to intervene to adjust the course of some environment.

Meet Your Virtual Plant Operator
Phaidra’s AI agent is deployed to dynamically optimize a local control system, stabilizing key metrics like temperatures, pressures and flow rates, reducing the total energy consumption to achieve stability and providing insights to system behavior over time. The agent cannot make adjustments that are not allowed by local control and does not show up to any meetings but is working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without breaks and without fatigue. It follows the rules established with perfect precision and consistently works towards achieving one or several objective functions.
Phaidra’s agents are deployed for Mission Critical Cooling optimization in several industries
Data Centers
