to increase furnace efficiency and productivity, as well as reduce NOx and CO 2 emissions. A Process-AI Platform with out-of-the-box features: • Core AI process analytics module: Module for data pre-processing suitable for major process industries for statistical analysis. • AI/ML custom module : AI models are built using industrial-grade data simulated from plant

the atmosphere. Coke formation also leads to reduced furnace run length. Addressing fuel composition changes by leveraging the real-time thermodynamics model and AI/ML techniques enables continuous bias of the air/fuel ratio to stabilise combustion and heat transfer into the tubes. To address these issues, we have leveraged the Cognitive Furnace4.0 platform for data

acquisition from DCS/ historians in real-time, pre- processing and modelling based on first principles and machine learning algorithms. LivNSense has also levered its unique IP - disturbance index for estimating manufacturing condition variations in real-time. The outcome is delivered through live furnace digital twins for continuous improvement and high accuracy. Our holistic platform has also been proven
