Cyzag

Operational intelligence for asset-intensive industries

Find the losses your alarms miss. Never pay for the same one twice.

Cyzag Operations runs the shift: handovers, rounds and improvement, on desk, tablet and phone. Cyzag Intelligence reads that record and your historian, prices every drift and names the likely cause. What your people confirm stays with the equipment, so the next time starts from the answer.

  • Your historian stays
  • SAP stays
  • Nothing migrates
  • Ten-week pilot
  • A person approves every action

  1. Find the losses

    It learns your normal, watches for drift and prices it.

  2. Find the likely cause

    Each flag shows its likely cause and the evidence.

  3. Decide and act

    The action is drafted; a named owner approves it.

  4. Keep what you know

    What your people confirm is kept against the equipment, so a repeat starts from the answer.

The problem

Nothing went into alarm. Left alone, it costs about €180,000 a year.

The answer is already in your historian, last Tuesday's shift log and the head of the operator who retires in March. Nobody has time to put them together, so the drift runs for months.

How it works

Cyzag reads the systems you already run. Nothing is replaced.

Your historian, lab and maintenance records are read, never written. Crews log the shift in Cyzag Operations; Cyzag Intelligence prices each drift and names the likely cause.

  1. Your systems Stay as they are Your historian, lab, maintenance and procedures, read-only. Nothing migrates.
  2. Cyzag Operations Runs the shift Handovers, rounds, improvement and quality, recorded as the crews work.
  3. Cyzag Intelligence Detects what is costing you, and names the likely cause Prices drift against each unit's learned normal.
  4. Your people Investigate and decide A root-cause workflow in Cyzag; a named person approves.

Evaporation and utilities Week 28 · 4 open findings
Worked example
≈ €430,000 estimated annual exposure · ≈ €50 per hour
  1. EV-201 Steam per tonne 8% above normal Likely: Cleaning interval stretched from four to six weeks on 14 March Action approved €180,000 a year €21 / h
  2. C-210 Cooling water 12% above normal Likely: Temperature transmitter TT-212 reading high since its May calibration, so the loop over-cools Under review €120,000 a year €14 / h
  3. P-301 Vibration rising Likely: Alignment after coupling work; realignment cured the same symptom in 2024 Evidence assembled €78,000 a year €9 / h
  4. FIC-220 Control loop oscillating Likely: Valve stiction, with the controller fighting it New €52,000 a year €6 / h
Annualised at 8,760 operating hours from each unit's cost data. Estimated exposure, not realised savings. Every figure is computed by the engine; likely causes stay hypotheses until your people confirm them. See the evidence for EV-201 →

It gets smarter the more you use it

Every shift teaches it something.

Each flag opens a root-cause workflow in Cyzag. Your people confirm the cause, the engine checks the fix held, and the next flag on that unit starts from what this one taught it.

Six months in, the plant model knows things written down nowhere else, and they stay when people retire.

9 and 10 July · week 28
  1. Thu 06:00 Handover · nights Steam on EV-201 high again all night. Nothing out of alarm. It has run like this for weeks.
  2. Thu 14:30 Flag · Cyzag Intelligence ≈ €21 / hour EV-201 steam use 8% above what it normally needs for this grade and season, since 14 March.
  3. Thu 14:31 Workflow started · root-cause analysis Likely cause, proposed by the engine: the cleaning interval stretched to six weeks. Feed rate and steam pressure checked and less likely. Agents attach the evidence and two similar flags from 2024.
  4. Fri 12:32 Cause confirmed · M. Keller, process engineer “We went to six weeks to save a stop. It fouls faster than we thought.”
  5. Fri 13:49 Action approved · area manager Back to a four-week clean, with owner and date.
  6. Week 32 Verified · Cyzag Intelligence Steam back inside its normal after one cleaning cycle. The fix held, and the outcome is recorded against EV-201.
  7. Week 40 Flag · Cyzag Intelligence The same drift caught within the shift, its likely cause recalled from the July record, before it cost a full day.

Every figure links to the reading behind it, and nothing changes in the plant until a named person approves it.

“We saw a 16% increase in OEE in less than six months. It was easy once we understood the main loss drivers.”
Plant manager · Germany
“Using Cyzag we were able to identify over-consumption and then set up a project to model and track the process, avoiding a loss of around €1M.”
Marc Boré · Nobian
