SITRANS SSE IQ Model Creator is a web-based application that enables process engineers to build, evaluate, and deploy AI-based soft sensor models — without any data science expertise. Running on-premise using only CPU, it protects sensitive process data while delivering a model for real-time predictions of difficult-to-measure process parameters such as product quality, purity, viscosity, and emissions.
Why SITRANS SSE IQ Model Creator?
AI for Process Engineers, Not only for Data Scientists
Build, evaluate, and deploy soft sensor models through a guided workflow — no data science expertise needed. Automated machine learning handles algorithm selection and model training, democratizing AI across your plant.
Full Data Protection
The Model Creator runs locally on CPU — on a standard laptop or server — with no process data ever sent to the cloud. Sensitive industrial data stays fully protected while still enabling powerful AI-based soft sensor modelling.
Fast ROI and feasibility tests free of charge.
Achieve ROI in 1–3 months. Build and evaluate models free, pay only on export. Deploy to SITRANS SSE IQ, Industrial Edge, or SIMATIC APC Suite — one click, no IT project. Scale at your own pace.
Featured capabilities
Guided Workflow — No AI Expertise Required
A transparent, step-by-step workflow guides users from data upload to model export. Choose between "Fastest" (validated model in ~2 minutes) or "Best fit" (exhaustive algorithm search). The platform automatically tries hundreds of model configurations and selects the best one — no data science background needed. Multiple models can be queued and trained sequentially.
Data Preprocessing & Quality Validation
Upload historical process data in CSV, XLSX, Parquet, or Pickle format (up to 200 MB). The platform guides you through handling missing values, detecting and removing outliers, and providing interactive visualizations (time series, histograms, scatter plots) so engineers can inspect data quality before modelling. Real plant data is always imperfect — this step ensures clean, reliable model inputs.
Smart Feature Selection with Correlation Insights
Understand which process variables matter most. The platform provides correlation matrices, correlation clustering, and PCA/Z-score normalization to help engineers identify the most relevant input features. Feature selection is guided by analytical insights, giving process experts full transparency and control over the model inputs — ensuring physically meaningful and accurate soft sensor models.
Model Evaluation – with compliance checks
Evaluate model performance using R² score, mean percentage error, residual plots, and actual vs. predicted value charts. Critically, built-in EPA PS-16 compliance tests (relative accuracy, bias test, correlation test) provide a clear go/no-go signal for emission monitoring applications. Regulatory checks are fully integrated — reducing compliance risk and accelerating deployment decisions.
One-Click Encrypted Export
Export trained models in a standardized, encrypted format directly to SITRANS SSE IQ, Siemens Industrial Edge, or SIMATIC APC Suite — with a single click. No IT project, no integration effort. The exported model is validated in the SITRANS ASM/SSE environment via bias, correlation, and F-test (95% confidence level), taking you from raw data to shopfloor deployment in a single end-to-end workflow.
