Put Your Industrial Data to Work!

Administration and Control

Give data administrators the powerful tools they need to manage your digital factory assets. Import asset models from on-premises historians and other factory systems. Create policies that permit users access to factory data and KPIs based on their roles.

Ad-hoc and Structured Data Exploration

Enable process engineers, data scientists, and other authorized users to dynamically browse factory data to identify critical trends, patterns, and anomalies. Create libraries of commonly-used formulas that compute and visualize KPIs and other useful analytics. View asset, event, and timeseries data, and download it on demand for use with other tools.

Contextualized Industrial Analytics

Empower factory experts to create multi-level, multi-dimensional formulas that include advanced operations for timeseries and machine/process state data. Measure asset availability, product quality, production performance, energy consumption/cost, and an unlimited variety of custom metrics. Integrate external data, AI, and analytic services.

Brilliant Visualizations

Create polished, professional scorecards and dashboards for users at all levels of your operation. Publish analytics and visualizations to end users based on their roles and access permissions. Enable end users to drive data visualizations using time, asset, and context (e.g., work order, product) selectors.
