Industrial AI Co-Pilot for Process Industries

KLN Insight – Industrial Process Intelligence

Modern process industries generate enormous amounts of operational data. Thousands of signals are continuously measured across pumps, valves, motors, pressure systems, control loops and sub-systems.

Operators must monitor this complex system in real time while maintaining stability, quality and efficiency.

KLN Insight is an industrial AI co-pilot designed to support operators by continuously analyzing process data and providing clear insights, explanations and recommendations.

KLN Insight does not replace operators. It helps them make better decisions.

The Challenge in Modern Process Plants

In most facilities today:

  • Operators can only monitor a limited number of signals simultaneously
  • Complex interactions between systems are difficult to see in real time
  • Process disturbances often require time-consuming analysis after the event
  • Valuable process knowledge is often held by experienced operators

At the same time, modern plants generate thousands of process signals every second.

The challenge is not collecting data. The real challenge is understanding it in real time.

The KLN Insight Concept

KLN Insight acts as an intelligent observer of the entire process environment.

By continuously analyzing all available signals, KLN Insight can detect patterns, identify deviations and explain process behaviour to operators.

KLN Insight operates as a non-invasive decision support system:

  • It reads process data
  • It analyzes trends and relationships
  • It provides insights and recommendations

It never takes control of the process. The operator remains fully in charge.

Key Capabilities

Real-time process analysis
KLN Insight continuously analyzes process signals and detects deviations from normal operation.

Operator decision support
Operators can interact with KLN Insight to understand what is happening in the process and why.

Process disturbance explanation
KLN Insight helps explain the chain of events that led to a process disturbance or shutdown.

Continuous learning
By analyzing historical and live data, KLN Insight improves its understanding of the process over time.

Non-intrusive and secure design

KLN Insight analyzes data without modifying control systems or affecting the automation within the facility.

The system is designed to be passive and non-intrusive, meaning it only reads data from existing systems without the ability to send control signals back.

This ensures:

  • Operational safety – no changes are made to control systems or process logic
  • Easy integration into existing facilities and system environments
  • Minimal impact on operations and production

To further strengthen security, the system can be configured with one-way data flow (data diode principle).

This means that KLN Insight only reads data from the facility, without the ability to send signals back to the control system. In this way, operational data can be analyzed without exposing the control system to external influence or internet-based access.

Designed for Operators

The primary goal of KLN Insight is to assist operators during daily operation.

Typical use cases include:

  • understanding why a process disturbance occurred
  • identifying early signs of instability
  • explaining changes in process behaviour
  • providing insights during troubleshooting

By helping operators understand the process more clearly, KLN Insight contributes to more stable and efficient plant operation.

Example Use Case

Imagine a process operator monitoring a complex production line.

A disturbance occurs and pressure suddenly increases in one part of the system.

Instead of manually searching through trend curves and alarms, the operator can ask KLN Insight:

“What changed in the system before the pressure increase?”

KLN Insight analyzes all process signals and explains the most likely chain of events.

This allows the operator to react faster and understand the root cause of the disturbance.

Future Potential

Over time, KLN Insight can also support:

  • process optimization
  • improved energy efficiency
  • faster troubleshooting
  • knowledge transfer to new operators
  • data-driven operational improvements
  • early indications of potential maintenance needs

Developed by KLN Teknik AB

KLN Insight is currently being developed as part of KLN Teknik’s work with industrial automation, process analysis and intelligent operational support systems.

The goal is to combine deep process knowledge with modern AI technology to create practical tools that improve real industrial operations.
