Prescriptive Insights
Use prescriptive insights to contextualize AI predictive analytics and determine next best actions
Artificial intelligence doesn’t just help you predict when your assets and processes are trending to failure. It provides prescriptive insights that help you understand the underlying reason for the problem and determine which corrective actions you should take to resolve it most efficiently.
What are prescriptive insights?
Prescriptive insights are actionable recommendations derived from analytics processes to achieve desired outcomes in response to expected events. They provide the answer to the question: “how can we make X happen instead of Y?”
Prescriptive insights are commonly used to help decision-makers contextualize real-time data vs. predicted behavior on their assets, for faster root cause analysis of problems and providing support to identify corrective actions.
Prescriptive insights in manufacturing
Facing stubborn hiring challenges and retirement of experienced workers, the manufacturing industry can’t afford unplanned downtime. Prescriptive insights delivered by SparkCognition Industrial AI Suite for Manufacturing help your less-experienced workers perform root cause analysis faster, speeding up maintenance and preventing unnecessary repairs.
Prescriptive insights in oil and gas
Flaring during a work stoppage or maintenance event is estimated to contribute 5-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions annually. Predictive maintenance strategies complemented by prescriptive insights help you reduce unplanned downtime and achieve your net-zero goals.
Prescriptive insights in renewables
Improving energy output of renewable power plants is key to reducing the cost of energy. Prescriptive insights improve operational outcomes by enabling analysts and technicians to spend less time processing and managing data and more time working on solutions.

How does artificial intelligence enable prescriptive insights?
Advanced AI technologies are used to transform raw data into data insights—not only predictive insights but also prescriptive insights. AI-powered prescriptive insights help you see what steps need to be taken, or what factors need to be taken into account, to achieve outcomes predictive analytics tell you are possible.
Employing machine learning to develop predictive models, natural language processing (NLP) to automate workflows of unstructured natural language data, and other proprietary AI technologies, SparkCognition’s predictive and prescriptive analytics combine to deliver real-world, high-value outcomes—like preventing asset failures, improving shipping logistics, detecting fraud, and optimizing renewable energy platform production.

Capture tribal knowledge and upskill your workforce
For industries challenged by labor loss issues, like the manufacturing industry, leveraging tribal knowledge found only in highly variable formats like maintenance logs or user manuals is equally desirable and elusive to achieve.
SparkCognition’s proprietary natural language processing technology allows you to extract knowledge from vast quantities of unstructured data, like maintenance logs, reports, asset manuals, and more.
- Automate workflows to extract, organize, and interpret tribal knowledge from unstructured sources.
- Enable machine learning models to use millions of potential associations.
- Make prescriptive insights available to SMEs and maintenance personnel about what caused a particular event and why.

How SparkCognition delivers prescriptive insights to identify non-productive time on oil platforms
Non-productive time consumes as much as 20-25% of all platform operating time each year. For offshore platforms, this can add up to billions of dollars in lost revenue.
SparkCognition’s customer, a major upstream E&P operator, wanted to better categorize and analyze platform activities to track and eliminate non-productive time and invisible lost time.
Step 1: Leveraging natural language processing
Our natural language processing platform, SparkCognition NLP Studio successfully categorized platform activity, labeling each activity with a code and sub-code for ease of analysis.
Step 2: Providing prescriptive insights
NLP Studio provided new insights into the most frequently occurring activities on the platform with high accuracy, such as identifying the 46 most frequently occurring code and sub-code combinations.
Step 3: Determining events and causes
Using SparkCognition’s prescriptive insights, the E&P operator effectively pinpointed non-productive time and invisible lost time, as well as their causes, automating a process that would have required significant human labor and time.
