Two Industry 4.0 solution providers integrate their flagship products and connect advanced analytics with the shift book functionality to increase operational excellence.
TrendMiner, a Software AG company providing self-service industrial analytics, aneschbach, a provider of digital plant process management (PPM) solutions, today announced that they will partner globally to integrate their flagship products,TrendMiner and Shiftconnector. Existing and potential customers of both companies in the manufacturing and process industries can maximize operational excellence by creating a closed information loop between control room teams and process and analytics engineers.
All relevant manufacturing data will be available on-demand, creating a continuous flow of information. TrendMiner’s advanced analytics capabilities help to predict process deviations. Shiftconnector brings these process deviations into a control room where shift personnel will contextualize these deviations as well as add additional information regarding why the deviation occurred. This important context data is then returned to TrendMiner as a starting point for further operational improvements.
“The power of humans and advanced analytics join forces via this leading-edge combination of solutions,” said Andreas Eschbach, CEO of eschbach. “By combining the best of both worlds, we see great potential to create a sea-change in the process industry.”
“We are looking forward to this exciting partnership with eschbach to explore the value that the integration will bring to our many mutual customers,” said Thomas Dhollander, CTO of TrendMiner. “The integration will accelerate analytics-driven decision making in the control room and cross-department collaboration for the next wave in operational excellence.”
With the industry-leading Shiftconnector solution, customers can meet their production and operational challenges while arming themselves to address the challenges of plant and process automation. The integration allows stakeholders in the control room and shift teams to make analytics-driven decisions, while process and asset experts can benefit from broader contextual information to improve operational performance. Additionally, the integration will also increase cross departmental collaboration and knowledge exchange.
Both companies will be previewing the integrated solution at OSIsoft PI World, September 16-29 in Gothenburg, Sweden. TrendMiner will be at booth number 01 and eschbach at booth 17.
