Solution

AUTOERDI

A solution for automated fault detection and diagnosis that supports the energy-efficient operation of technical systems. AUTOERDI helps operators, facility managers and service companies to automatically detect, explainably diagnose and document faults in HVAC systems and technical equipment in buildings and industry.

The problem

Undetected faults cost energy and comfort.

HVAC systems and technical equipment consist of many components – air handling units, dampers, valves, pumps, sensors and controllers. A single fault, such as a stuck damper or a drifting sensor, can significantly increase energy consumption, reduce comfort and shorten the service life of components.

Many of these faults are already visible in existing operating data – but that data is not analysed systematically. This is exactly where AUTOERDI comes in.

What makes AUTOERDI different

Diagnoses you can understand.

Explainable diagnosis

Every diagnosis names the affected component, the underlying measurements and a clear justification – traceable for experts and operators alike.

Learns with the system

The diagnostic models gradually adapt to new operating data, usage patterns and seasons.

Vendor-neutral

AUTOERDI uses existing operating data – regardless of the manufacturer of the equipment or the automation system.

Resource-efficient

No need for large historical datasets, and suitable for large buildings and facilities with many zones.

How it works

From measurement to diagnosis report.

01 · Collect data

AUTOERDI takes the operating data of the system from the existing automation.

02 · Detect faults

Deviations from normal system behaviour are detected automatically.

03 · Diagnose the cause

The most likely faulty component is identified, with a justification.

04 · Receive a report

Results are provided as a clear diagnosis report with recommended actions.

Benefits

What AUTOERDI achieves

  • Early detection of problems before they escalate
  • Higher availability and faster troubleshooting
  • Lower energy consumption and fewer CO₂ emissions
  • Better comfort for occupants
  • Transparency on the condition of your systems
  • Long-term cost savings

Target groups

Who is it for?

  • Operators and owners of non-residential buildings and industrial facilities
