5 Pillars of a Solid Industrial Analytics Solution
A core requirement of analytics value is connectivity
to modern data sources, plant devices and enterprise
applications (MES, SCADA, ERP, CRM etc.) via standard
industry protocols, but also in-place brownfield
manufacturing databases that may have evolved from
operating support systems over decades. Since these
assortments of data repositories can rarely be kept to
the latest, greatest architecture and open connectors,
a desirable solution should provide both modern and
legacy, proprietary connectors, or mechanisms to
exchange data to a broad range of IoT and Analytical
systems. In addition, a mature industrial analytic
solution should be aware of the challenges of capture
time, data quality (or status) and value when provided
from smart sensors
