Key Benefits

1. Single Source of Truth: Collect and store real-time data from operating assets with high frequency (sub-second granularity), providing a unified view of operations.
2. Contextualize & Visualize Data: Build dynamic visualizations and asset frameworks to view metrics in their operational context.
3. Secure, Reliable Data Delivery: Ensures trustworthy data for remote users, applications, business intelligence, and AI tools. Includes features for buffering, high availability, and handling intermittent connectivity.
4. Edge-to-Cloud Data Management: Operate at the edge, on-premises, or in the cloud, depending on where data storage and processing make sense. Scalable architecture for hybrid deployments.
5. Rapid Integration With Analytics: Pre-built integrations and open APIs/SDKs so that real-time operational data can feed into BI tools, analytics platforms, etc.

Features

1. Vendor-Neutral Data Collection: Supports many industry & vendor protocols, collects from sensors, IIoT devices, remote assets, etc.
2. Data Integrity & Reliability: Buffering during network disruption; configuration for high availability and automatic failover, auto-discovery of new sources.
3. Self-Service Access & Visualization: Asset models, dashboards, and visualization tools (web & mobile) that users can configure without heavy programming.
4. Hybrid Deployment Options: Components running on edge, on-premise, or cloud; picking the best locality of data storage and processing.

Use Cases

1. Real-time visibility: tools for operators and engineers to monitor critical metrics live.
2. Aggregation across multiple sites: trend analysis, root cause of incidents, performance benchmarking.
3. Standardizing dashboards and reports across assets and locations.
4. Supporting sustainability goals: monitoring emissions, resource usage, and enabling data-driven insights for lowering environmental footprint.
