Industrial Analytics

The data is out there. Massive, incredible amounts of it, in fact. But how to collect it? How to analyze it? Extracting useful insights from the onslaught of information is extremely difficult.

Thanks to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT), manufacturing generates huge amounts of operational data at high speeds. And here, context is king. Without deep understanding of the underlying manufacturing processes and circumstances associated with your OT data, it’s nearly impossible to derive meaningful insights. Yet these insights are crucial--They can be integrated back into the manufacturing process to significantly improve performance.

Making the arena of analytics more complicated is the fact that industrial analytics often require insights from big data to be acted upon in near-real time. For example, a predictive model for engine failure is only valuable if its prediction comes early enough to avoid the failure. For insights to be useful, a high volume of process data must be generated and analyzed, and the resulting insights delivered almost immediately to the right person or system.

To counter these unique challenges, an analytics approach should be tailored to manufacturing. Rockwell Automation offers a strategic approach to analytics and full-stack capabilities. Their team accelerates your time to value by simplifying the practice of data science, extending insights to drive action in real time and continually improve your processes.

Analytics solutions from Rockwell Automation make data analytics accessible to anyone. Their solutions accelerate IT/OT convergence and empower domain experts so you can focus on business outcomes.

Real-Time Insights and Action

---

Insights derived from manufacturing data only become useful when they result in timely action. Integrated, full-stack analytics from Rockwell Automation connect your people and systems to the right insights when they’re relevant to enhance decisions in real time.

Flexibility at Enterprise Scale

---

To transform industrial performance, global manufacturing enterprises need to scale analytics insights across the enterprise. Rockwell Automation allows you to generate scalable enterprise insights and gives you the flexibility to deploy analytics.

Asset Performance Monitoring

---

Manufacturing plant assets are one of your biggest investments. To make the most of these assets, it is crucial to continually improve the visibility of their utilization. Rockwell’s advanced analytics solutions track and monitor asset performance KPIs, such as asset downtime, waste, production counts, and overall equipment effectiveness. The insights drive improvements in utilization, reliability and system efficiency, while extending equipment lifecycle.

To optimize throughput, industrial manufacturers must strike a fine balance between speed and yield. For this, they need a highly responsive, automated system to control the process and maximize yield. Prescriptive edge analytics provide the closed-loop, low-latency insights needed to rapidly respond to changes in conditions. The insights can be integrated with your production and business management systems to help lower manufacturing costs while increasing production.

You shouldn’t need a data scientist to take advantage of basic analytics at the plant floor, but that’s exactly what many analytics technologies require. Rockwell Automation’s FactoryTalk® Analytics™ LogixAI® allows OT professionals to predict anomalies or estimate operational variables in production processes through the power of machine learning—no data scientist required. The software empowers operators and technicians to easily apply machine learning concepts to get ahead of product quality issues and help protect process integrity. The best part: There’s no need to develop, validate or sustain home-grown machine learning algorithms.
