Discover what drives plant performance
Dashboards, reports and other tools are only as good as the data they access.
Industrial processes generate huge amounts of data every day. When examined on an individual basis, these data sources offer valuable insights to end-users. However, the real transformative power emerges when organizations consolidate and integrate these diverse data sources into a unified and reliable data set that spans their entire operations, plants and business unit. This combination enhances the business value of the data, unlocking new possibilities and opportunities for informed decision-making and operational efficiency.
AVEVA BI Gateway consolidates and unifies time-series and plant-floor transactional data from across the plants, revealing relationships that would be all but invisible otherwise. It models big data into manageable chunks, so that industrial teams can track performance against the metrics that matter most—in time to make a difference.
With the AVEVA BI Gateway software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution in the cloud, you can empower operational stakeholders to improve plant performance by visualizing and analyzing critical metrics information in near real time. With a cloud-based solution, you can consolidate, unify, normalize, and contextualize engineering and operations data without additional IT infrastructure. Gain new insights into potential optimization with actionable intelligence that helps you make sense of your production data.
- Streamline extraction from different data sources.
- Transform static and dynamic data sources (design drawings and operations data) into a uniform data format.
- Visualize in fit-for-purpose dashboards to:
- Monitor operational KPIs.
- Benchmark and compare the performance of assets and processes.
- Compare performance across several events simultaneously (shifts, product changes, equipment state, energy rates, etc.) for a comprehensive understanding of operations.
The business case
Maximize the ROI on your industrial investment by establishing a unified, reliable representation of your information across your plant floor and enterprise systems.
AVEVA BI Gateway enables you to streamline data extraction from different sources and transform your data sources into one uniform format. Visualize your data in fit-for-purpose dashboards to monitor operational KPIs and benchmark and compare performance.
You will be able to better understand the impact of planning, execution, staffing, and equipment behaviour on key strategic variables such as quality, performance, material, and energy consumption.
AVEVA BI Gateway helps you to maximize return on investment in plant floor and enterprise solutions by unlocking the context hidden in your existing distributed data. It adds the information and insight you need for more transparency into the true cost and profit contributions from each of your operations.
Cost-effective scalability in the cloud
With AVEVA BI Gateway SaaS solution in the cloud, it’s simple to set up, manage and use without any additional IT infrastructure or staffing. You can quickly turn the data from new and already operational industrial assets and processes into a live information feed for decision support. Adding AVEVA BI Gateway to cloud historians enables you to ensure you have contextual, fit-for-purpose information throughout your organization. It enables you to unlock your operational data from the control room and make it accessible when and where your people need it. It also enhances collaboration between teams, and helps to bridge the IT/OT gap, ensuring critical process information is shared with business and finance teams.
Enabling collaborative operations
Ensuring that everyone has timely access to their key metrics is critical, but unless metrics are aligned with operational strategies, people could be working at cross-purposes. Information that is easy to read, understand, and act upon enables true operations collaboration. It can be tailored to the different operational roles in your plant. The contextualized information enables both expert and casual users to benefit from the process know-how that already exists in your operations.
All your data sources, connected
Connect multiple plant and enterprise data sources simultaneously to reveal how disparate industrial operations affect each other. AVEVA BI Gateway’s operational intelligence tools model the relationships between vast amounts of data, and contextualize them with KPIs. Powerful software calculates and displays variations in metrics in near real-time. A user-friendly analytics dashboard helps users monitor progress and share results across an array of devices, anytime and anywhere.
Make strategic sense out of data
Without organized data modeling, making sense of your industrial data is difficult, if not impossible. With AVEVA BI Gateway’s modeling, you get a single version of operating truth that ERP systems, data warehouses and enterprise business intelligence tools need to make strategic sense out of production or operations data.
Predefined data models shorten time-to-insight significantly, equipping you to see value from day one. AVEVA BI Gateway eliminates the need for IT services to create reports and dashboards, and empowers users with self-service access to operational intelligence.
AVEVA BI Gateway features
AVEVA BI Gateway reveals hidden information from your plant data sources by assembling and organizing a single information model for easy reporting, analysis and visualization.
