Industrial analytics software helps organizations use operational data to better understand and improve asset, process, and production performance. It analyzes data from industrial equipment and systems to uncover patterns, relationships, and performance issues that may be difficult to identify manually.

Industrial analytics can support root cause analysis, monitoring, prediction and forecasting, simulation, and optimization. These capabilities help industrial teams improve quality, throughput, efficiency, reliability, and other operational outcomes.

","title":"What is industrial analytics software?"},{"body":"

Manufacturers use industrial analytics software to analyze time-series and process data from sensors, control systems, historians, and other operational sources. Engineers can use this information to investigate performance issues, understand process variability, predict outcomes, monitor changing conditions, and identify opportunities for optimization.

These capabilities support continuous improvement across production, quality, and asset performance by helping teams make greater use of the operational data they already collect.

","title":"How is industrial analytics software used in manufacturing and industrial operations?"},{"body":"

Industrial analytics software helps teams identify process inefficiencies, variability, bottlenecks, and changing operating conditions using historical and real-time data. Engineers can use these insights to investigate problems and identify changes that may improve performance.

Depending on the application, industrial analytics can help organizations reduce downtime, energy use, and material waste while improving throughput, consistency, product quality, and overall process efficiency.

","title":"How does industrial analytics software help improve operational efficiency and productivity?"},{"body":"

Industrial analytics can benefit industries with complex production processes and large volumes of operational data. Common applications can be found in food and beverage, consumer packaged goods, automotive and discrete manufacturing, water and wastewater, utilities, metals and mining, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and pulp and paper.

Organizations in these industries use industrial analytics to address challenges such as process variability, product quality, waste, energy consumption, throughput, yield, equipment performance, and control optimization.

","title":"What industries benefit from industrial analytics software?"},{"body":"

Industrial analytics software should support the analytics lifecycle, from exploring and analyzing industrial data to monitoring performance, predicting outcomes, simulating scenarios, and optimizing operating conditions. Integration with industrial data sources and flexible deployment options are also important considerations.

Proficy CSense brings five core capabilities - analysis, monitoring, prediction and forecasting, simulation, and optimization - into an integrated environment. Visual, no-code and low-code workflows help process engineers apply these capabilities using their existing domain expertise, with additional flexibility available through Python.

","title":"What are the key features to look for in industrial analytics software?"},{"body":"

Industrial analytics software can analyze historical and real-time operational data from sources such as sensors, historians, control systems, and production applications. Depending on the use case, analytics can be performed on historical datasets, at scheduled intervals, or against streaming process data.

Proficy CSense can work with industrial time-series data to support applications ranging from historical investigation and model development to ongoing monitoring, prediction, and optimization.

","title":"How does industrial analytics software process and analyze operational data?"},{"body":"

Industrial analytics can help identify changes in process and equipment behavior that may indicate developing performance issues. By analyzing historical and ongoing operational data, teams can investigate abnormal conditions and recognize potential problems before they result in larger operational disruptions.

These insights can complement maintenance strategies by helping teams better understand equipment behavior, prioritize investigation, and reduce the risk of unplanned downtime.

","title":"What is the role of industrial analytics software in predictive maintenance and downtime reduction?"},{"body":"

Industrial analytics software can connect with industrial systems and data sources to bring together information needed for deeper analysis. These sources may include HMI SCADA systems, historians, MES, databases, sensors, and other operational applications.

Proficy CSense can combine data from multiple industrial sources for analysis and modeling and make analytics results available to operational workflows. This allows organizations to build on their existing industrial data infrastructure rather than creating a separate source of operational data.

","title":"How does industrial analytics software integrate with systems such as HMI SCADA, MES, and historians?"},{"body":"

AI/ML can help industrial teams identify complex patterns and relationships in operational data, develop predictive models, and estimate future process outcomes. Combined with process expertise, these techniques can provide insights that may be difficult to uncover through manual analysis alone.

Proficy CSense enables process engineers to apply AI/ML within industrial analytics workflows for applications such as prediction, forecasting, process modeling, and optimization.

","title":"What role do artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) play in industrial analytics software?"},{"body":"

Common challenges include siloed or poor-quality data, inconsistent data structures, limited analytics expertise, and difficulty scaling successful projects beyond an initial use case. Organizations also need to ensure analytics initiatives address meaningful operational problems rather than applying technology without a clear objective.

A practical approach is to begin with a defined, high-value use case, validate the results, and then reuse successful models and approaches across additional processes or facilities.

","title":"What are the challenges of implementing industrial analytics software?"},{"body":"

Industrial analytics help organizations turn operational data into information that can support better decisions, continuous improvement, prediction, and process optimization. This can help teams move from primarily reactive approaches toward more proactive, data-driven operations.

Industrial analytics can also help organizations make greater use of data already generated across equipment and production systems, providing a foundation for broader industrial AI/ML and digital transformation initiatives.

","title":"How does industrial analytics software support digital transformation?"},{"body":"

Industrial organizations should consider how operational data is accessed, transferred, stored, and protected when deploying analytics. Appropriate cybersecurity practices can include access controls, network segmentation, encryption, secure deployment architectures, and validation of analytics models and actions.

Cybersecurity requirements are particularly important when analytics results are connected to operational workflows or used to influence process control.

","title":"What are the cybersecurity considerations when using industrial analytics software?"},{"body":"

Industrial analytics can be scaled across sites by reusing validated models, templates, and analytics approaches rather than developing every application independently. This can help organizations standardize successful approaches while adapting them to local equipment and operating conditions.

Proficy CSense supports reusable analytics workflows that can help subject matter experts develop and validate approaches for a particular use case and extend them to additional processes, assets, or facilities.
