Manufacturing
Intelligent data analytics for manufacturing. The Industrial App Store connects to your existing process, alarm, and event data - helping manufacturers monitor production, manage alarms, reduce downtime, and optimise equipment performance.
-
Ready-to-use apps for process monitoring, alarm management, and equipment performance tracking
-
Connects to commonly used manufacturing data architectures including OPC, Modbus, and Wonderware
-
Data remains on site, reducing costs and risk
With facilities generating significant volumes of data, the challenge isn't a lack of data, it's how best to make that data accessible and understandable by those that can get the most value from it.
Unplanned downtime, alarm overload, and poor visibility of real-time operations are common and costly challenges in the manufacturing sector. The Industrial App Store provides effective industry apps that connect directly to existing data architectures and solve these challenges without the need to migrate data to the cloud or replace existing systems.
Our free data connectivity tool, App Store Connect, links your existing data sources to the Industrial App Store with minimal setup. For organisations that need a cost effective historian solution, we provide our own IP Historian, allowing calculated tag data to be generated and stored separately from your site historian, reducing implementation costs and making these tools accessible to organisations of all sizes.
Process monitoring and visualisation
Gestalt PnID and Trend provide real-time visibility of production processes, giving operators and engineers an up-to-date picture of plant performance at any given moment. Dashboards can be configured to suit any process without requiring specialist development resource.
Alarm management
Intelligent Plant's Alarm Analysis app supports alarm rationalisation, bad actor identification, and ongoing KPI monitoring, helping manufacturing operators reduce alarm overload and ensure control room teams can focus on what matters.
Equipment performance and control loop optimisation
OpMode detects behavioural changes in equipment without requiring process-specific knowledge, making it straightforward to deploy across different assets and identify developing faults before they cause unplanned downtime. Controller Consultant identifies poorly tuned control loops that contribute to accelerated component wear.
Reporting and business intelligence
The Power BI Industrial Connector makes real-time and historical operational data easily available for report building. Microsoft Certified and available through the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. The Power Automate Connector complements this by automating repetitive reporting and notification tasks, such as alerts about process upsets.
The Industrial App Store has been used by manufacturing facilities in Scotland and beyond, including Invinity Energy Systems, a Scottish manufacturer of vanadium flow batteries with deployments across the globe.
“We use the Power BI Connector to greatly simplify the integration of real time Wonderware and corporate data into reports providing real business intelligence.”
