Control and Information management systems have long focused on collecting data. As systems have become smarter there has been a steady increase in the volume of data collected. Data alone provides little or no benefits to users who often do not have the specialized skills required to mine this data.
InFusion Information Management aggregates data from a wide variety of real time and application data sources, contextualizes it and presents it to users as information that can be easily manipulated, interpreted and utilized as a basis for making solid business decisions.
Contextualizing and presenting data as information empowers users to gain greater insight into the performance of operating assets. Decisions associated with running performance of machinery, process and the operation as a whole leads to profitable wisdom. None of which requires highly specialized knowledge of a control systems engineer.
InFusion enables the flow of relevant information to those who need it, when they need it, including:
- Seamless integration of real time information from a wide variety of control system sources
- Storage of information in the familiar context of a relational database and not a proprietary historian
- Aggregation of information in logical transactional groups based on process events or time
- Presentation of information in an intuitive web based format
This management of seemingly dissimilar information and presenting it in a consistent fashion to those who need it is the true power of InFusion, going beyond a traditional control system paradigm.
