Industrial Data Management
Industrial Data Management (IDM) helps enterprises reduce operational costs, extend equipment lifestyle, and generate new revenue streams. It simplifies access to data from different incompatible systems and processes. Based on the AggreGate IoT Platform, Industrial Data Management all-in-one solution fuels enterprise digital transformation with actionable operational insights.
Benefits of Industrial Management System
| Operational costs reducing | New revenue streams obtaining |
| Equipment lifetime extending | Production capacity increasing |
| Move from reactive to proactive decision making | Enterprise grade security procuring |
| Instant and constant data availability for users and applications | Unified operator and administrative console |
Data Collection and Transmission
Rich Industrial Connectivity
Includes more than 100 standard industrial communication protocols (e.g. OPC DA/HDA/UA). Support import of CSV files and its normalization on the server side. Flexible driver provides connection via proprietary protocols without coding.
Smart Data Escalation
Smart multi-tier data forwarding from remote facilities to the central node through the local branches. AggreGate instances filter and aggregate the raw machine data to ensure that only valuable events will reach the summit. Servers communicate with each other by fast and secure AggreGate API protocol. Support of failover clustering on server tier, database tier or mixed.
Edge-to-cloud Orchestration
Devices living at the edge produce an enormous amount of data. AggreGate analyzes and correlates all data at the lowest possible level where all necessary data items become available. Only the resulting events and control decision suggestions are raised over the fog.
Unrestrained Scalability
A single AggreGate server scales to ten million data points. With even a small cluster of instances joined into a distributed installation, the scalability limit by far exceeds the expectations of a large industrial holding. Geo distributed enterprises also leverage the filtering of tags that are exposed to remote locations.
Reliable Data Transfer
AggreGate instances use an open secure protocol to communicate and transfer data among themselves. Data compression and exception reduce flow traffic. Guaranteed data delivery after restoration of the communication channel.
Industrial IoT Middleware
AggreGate fills the gap between the physical assets and specific enterprise applications taking care of CRM, HR and financial management. It provides a flexible, secure and reliable bridge over any physical networks and IT security barriers to make sure all the apps are fed in time.
Data Storage and Analytics
Unified Data Lake
AggreGate forwards industrial and business data into a unified data lake. Provides full availability of data and events for operation and storage on the entire platform. Secure storage is used for easy and quick access to corporate data from each node of the system.
Digital Twins of Processes and Assets
Flexible tool for designing digital twins of real assets. Any type of variables, functions and events creation. Useful binding logic from “if-this then-that” up to analytical dependencies.
Operational Intelligence
Apart from data-driven analytics, the platform enables an activity-centric approach typical for OI. There are many active instruments that operate "on their own": alerts, scheduled jobs, workflows, bindings and, after all, device drivers. All those tools perform on-the-fly operational dashboard updates and inform the responsible employees about any significant events and condition changes.
Predictive Insights
AggreGate assists in resolving industrial data management issues to ensure positive influence on your business, as well as helps improve the productivity and user experience. With expertise, AggreGate products can provide the adequately preprocessed streams to the data scientists and system engineers who make use of the high-level data mining instruments.
High-speed Production Data Storage
All external metadata is stored in high-speed database storage. Variable history storage parameters may be deeply customized. AggreGate uses mechanisms of data exception and granulation to provide fast access and high data availability in an “as-is” view. Tools for time series aggregation from current and stored data. All the project events might be enriched and extended by additional data from external sources or by on the fly correlators through the platform.
KPI Tracking
Each instance inside the platform may be continuously tracked. It makes the easiest way to monitor necessary information in one place. Tracker list of the unified console shows the trackers collected from several servers, facilitating supervision of a large distributed AggreGate installation.
Industrial Data Analytics
AggreGate data management tools have proved the track record in a high-performance storing of the time series data, handling the floating-point value aggregation, binding the oscillograms to nanosecond-precision timestamps provided inside the tag values and preserving the data point quality metrics throughout the whole multi-tier infrastructure. Support of stream analytics, incoming data validation and other powerful analytics tools. All of them do not require writing any line of code.
Visualization
External Web Portal Integration
Your corporate portal can connect to AggreGate servers directly. It will load necessary data to enrich its dynamic web pages and initiate control actions upon portal user requests.
Reporting and Export
Any type of license allows creating an unlimited number of reports. The report source data can be extracted by an expression or query, but the report template generator can create a report template from any tabular data in just two clicks. Moreover, the templates can be fine-tuned or created from scratch in the embedded report editor.
Customer Asset Hierarchy Modeling
Flexible modeling tool provides ability to create custom assets hierarchy. It is a convenient way of data representation, storage and scalability.
Native Web Visualization
Tool for building adaptive HTML5 interfaces based on modular CSS grids and React elements. It is a modern way to create seamless native web applications with a client side rendering. Low-code UI constructor for business users who have zero experience in web application development.
Alarms and Notifications
Advanced alerting with a deadband support. Event correlation and value flapping detection. Alert acknowledgment and escalation rules. E-mail, SMS, popup, sound, and other notifications. Automatic and interactive corrective actions.
Open Integration Protocol
AggreGate Server can be integrated with third-party systems via REST or SOAP web services. It provides full secure access for all stored and aggregated data for any application. For instance time series or crucial KPIs may be passed into OLAP cubes.
Advanced Time Series Visualization
Any type of industrial data might be visualized with help of highly customizable charts and oscillograms. More than 25 time series and statistical diagram types. Thousands of configurable parameters for axes, series renderers, range and domain markers, legends, titles, gridlines, crosshairs, annotations, tooltips, and more. The trend options include linear, exponential, moving average or percentile.
Security and Administration
Enterprise-grade Security
Being a part of a big multitiered and distributed installation AggreGate ensures high level data security. From data acquisition by secure industrial protocols with SSL/TLS support. Up to encrypted data transfer on the supervising tier. Support of external authentication systems such as LDAP and Active Directory. User access rules customization based on role model.
Unified Administrative Console
AggreGate Unified Operations Console is a standalone desktop software providing access to one or more AggreGate Servers within a single installation. It can run under any Java-enabled platform, including Windows, Linux/Unix, and macOS. Unified Console connects to AggreGate servers via the IP network using SSL/TLS-secured connections. In multi-server distributed installations, the Console maintains simultaneous connections with several servers. Includes the tool of unified search to ease administrative issues.
