Ultramax®, from the Blue Book > Preface, page 1 Ultramax® is a Method and Intelligent Analytics toolset to operate existing production equipment and controls to generate more value as
determined by the user’s metrics.
Fast, safe, simple. Ultramax (or UMAX® for short)
is
a superior innovation to solve these two important problems: 1.
How to expediently adjust (or ‘tune
up’) a production process so
that the consequent operations generate the maximum possible
benefits, with safety.
‘Safety’ here
includes reliability complying with ALL the basic requirements listed
by the users. In making several adjustments to
balance multiple performance metrics, process expertise alone is too often
insufficient to maximize overall operation’s performance, and applying
other analytics (DOE, NN, first-principle models, with their experimental
and/or validation data) demand so much proficiency, time, risks, costs,
and/or production losses that their impact is often limited. With Ultramax users regularly achieve during
and after the tasks useful
extra safety (reliability meeting basic requirements) and/or higher margins (a few $100/hr
to a few $1,000/hr in high-volume production). It
takes a few days to a few weeks of modulating adjustments during production,
under full user control. See our Track Record at the
middle of the next page. The
Intelligent Analytics used is Sequential Empirical Optimization (SEO). 2.
How to evaluate
operations and compare the overall benefit of ALL performance metric values.
The otherwise difficult balance
and trade-offs of multiple technical
and business metrics without obvious economic impact is resolved with this
method in a couple of hours by team and management consensus. Whether with pure economic analysis or
including this method, SEO automatically balances ALL
performance metrics, enabling personnel to be more thorough and to
free up their time. The evaluation is dynamic as
managers refine evolving factors and business priorities (e.g., impact
of quality, unit costs, carbon footprint) for agile, responsive operations. With the
game-changing SEO Macro-Control and Evaluation method one gets better results
faster and safer. It supports our guarantee of 100%
annual returns even after the users apply their best solutions. We are pleased to offer the same
guarantee to firms with lower value added production. The main requirement of the SEO Macro-Control is
access to the usual measurements
during or shortly after operations in
repetitive production. Using that
data stream,
its main achievement is on-going self-learned, criteria-driven
decision-making for more valuable operations (far greater than extracting
information or applying rules), thus raising the
effectiveness of personnel and of assets. Adopting UMAX as
the common approach to metrics and macro-control of all major production processes
yields the compounded payout of synergism. UMAX applies to continuous, discrete
and batch processes; to those with Advanced Process Control (APC) or with
simple controls. Off-line Manual use is
sufficient for quick Static Optimization; seamlessly move to on‑line
Advisory or Closed-Loop Dynamic Optimization for practical best
operations as conditions change (e.g., raw material characteristics,
production speed). As a
toolset, Ultramax is used and managed by the users (support available in
various countries). Ultramax Corporation and
Agencies deliver outstanding technology and services tailored to your
