AI applied to DPFs
Global company Intangles is bringing artificial intelligence (AI) to diesel particulate filters.
The company introduced its AI platform to the truck press at the spring meeting of the Technology & Maintenance Council. The company has been around since 2016 and has a presence in 17 countries with 25,000 fleets controlling more than 150,000 vehicles on its platform.
It creates a “digital twin” of key components, most recently the DPF, which resides in the cloud. The AI grades every attempted DPF regeneration and provides feedback to the fleet so they can better manage their regen schedules and DPF cleanings.
It also alerts fleets to problem DPFs that aren’t achieving efficient regens, something that could point to a larger issue. Craig Vanderheide, the Calgary-based director of product management, said the company has generated more than 60 terrabytes of data, which is key to providing reliable intelligence.
“The challenge in talking to customers when it comes to the DPF, is they only had a single metric to look at – the percentage of soot load,” Vanderheide explained. “There was not enough data to be able to make more powerful decisions when it came to the DPF.”
