Predict and Prevent Asset Failure using Aspen Mtell

You will:

·         Obtain a general familiarity with the components, connectivity, and configuration of a Mtell solution. The user will be able to contribute to the setup and maintenance of the solution.

·         Learn how to setup, train, and evaluate machine learning Agents. These are the tasks that users spend the most time on during a Mtell project. Select a completed agent and deploy it live for 24/7 monitoring of the asset.

·         Learn the most valuable skills in utilizing a Mtell solution – responding to an alert from the system. Evaluate alerts online and learn to manage them until they are closed. Utilize roles and workflows to get the right information to the right people and at the right time.

• Clear guidance on fundamental topics
• Industry workflows
• Hands-on workshops
• Experienced instructor-guided demonstrations
• Q&A on student-specific problem
