Ergatonic Company

Brief information on the company

The Ergatonic Company Ltd. was founded by Prof. Konstantin Bravy in Ashdod (Israel) in May 1993. The main aims of Ergatonic was development, elaboration, installation and upgrading Advisory Systems for personnel engaged in diagnostics, maintenance and operating of complex industrial equipment in various branches of modern industry.

In 1993 – 1994 Ergatonic made presentations of our Advisory Systems for most developed Israel enterprises engaged in energy, aviation, radar, communication and other spheres. In 1995 the Ergatonic Company begin cooperation with Eshkol power plant (Israel), which was interested in using of Advisory Systems for optimum maintenance and operating of its energy equipment. In 1996 Ergatonic Company per request of the Eshkol power plant began the development of Advisory System for diagnostics of power steam turbines.  

The development of above Advisory Systems was continued with support from Turbodec Company Ltd. founding by Prof. Konstantin Bravy in February 1997. The Turbodec Company received financing from Chief Scientist of the Israel Ministry of Industry and Trade and operated in the framework of Gat High Tech Center from 1.03.97 till 1.03.99.    

The Ergatonic Compane together with Turbodec Company developed the Advisory System for diagnostics of power steam turbines and received the experience in using the above Advisory System in operating process of 228MW turbine. Distinctive feature of Advisory Systems consist in the fact that they allow to recognize the so-called “latent” defects before they become evident failure of the turbine. Thanks to above feature the Advisory System recognized the damages of rotating blades in intermediate pressure cylinder 3,5 hours earlier in comparison with shift personnel of power plant.   

During 1999 – 2000 the Ergatonic Company carried out the development of next generation Advisory System for optimum maintenance and operating of power steam turbines. The Company presented the above system and made the strategic negotiations with the following organizations:  

·        Israel Siemens, (Israel,1999);

·        General Electric (USA, 1999);

·        Maverik Group (Canada, 1999);

·        Push (USA, 2000).

The result of negotiations with above companies was preparing the strategic investment agreement that was cancelled due to stock markets collapse in September 2000.

In 2000 Prof. Konstantin Bravy continued his fundamental scientific researches in the field of “Viability of Complex Systems”. On the basis of above fundamental scientific researches the Ergatonic Company developed the draft “Bio-cybernetic Control System for availability, efficiency and safety maintaining of complex equipment in various branches of modern industry”. 

In 2001 the Ergatonic company made the presentations of Bio-cybernetic Control System and established the contacts with the following organizations: 

·        Elta, Malat, Mabat and Malam (Israel Aircraft Industries);

·        Research and Development Department of Israel Electric Corporation;

·        Chemical Department of Israel Ministry of Industry and Trade;

·        Rotem (the enterprise engaged in production of mineral fertilizers);

·        Mekorot – Israeli Water Supply Industry.

In 2002 we have a full-developed methodology with the last development stage of the supporting software for elaboration of Bio-cybernetic Control System (BCS) for viability and cost-effective maintenance of complex equipment. The company intends, either through cooperation with world leading complex equipment producers or alone, to implement its potential to become a leader in the field of production of BCS for viability maintaining and cost-effective maintenance of the following complex equipment:  

·        Aircraft, including unmanned aircraft vehicles;

·        Airspace;

·        Power plants;

·        Trains;

·        Ships;

·        Cars and trucks;

·        Water supply systems;

·        Biotechnology production;

·        Oil processing plants;

·        Mineral fertilizers production.  

Today we compared the perspectives in development of Wise Managing Systems in above-mentioned spheres and determine the priority in development of technological project “Bio-cybernetic Control System for availability and safety maintaining of airplanes” among other possible technological projects.
