GE’s New Monitoring & Analysis Software Suite Maximizes Business Value with Proven Analytic Capabilities and Access to Data in the Cloud

GE Intelligent Platforms announced the availability of its new Proficy Monitoring & Analysis software suite, the industry’s first integrated solution for industrial big data management and analytics. It allows companies to manage equipment and process data to maximize performance with advanced products that capture, store, contextualize and analyze data and presents actionable insights for fast and effective decision making.

The Proficy Monitoring & Analysis suite is comprised of six integrated products: Proficy Historian, GE’s flagship data collection software; Proficy Historian Analysis for data mining and visualization; Proficy SmartSignal for predictive analytics for condition-based monitoring; and Proficy CSense to troubleshoot process problems, monitor process health and create close loop process optimization. Two additional products are new to the offering and include Proficy Historian HD that allows storage of massively large data sets in a Hadoop cluster, and Proficy Knowledge Center, a console that ties the solution together with process visibility, asset health assessment and process optimization.

GE的Proficy Historian HD是将工业数据和分析与弹性能力相结合的第一个解决方案，从而创建了基于Hadoop构建的大数据解决方案。迈向GE对工业互联网的愿景的第一步。该软件促进了对工业大数据的高级分析，以改善过程性能，解决过程问题以及预测和防止资产失败。历史学家高清与GE软件卓越中心合作，使用户能够将整个历史序列数据集中在一起，同时将数据存储成本降低多达85％。

GE智能平台的工业数据情报软件组总经理Brian Courtney说：“ GE每天管理5 TB的新时间序列数据。”“我们在大数据和分析方面的经验最大化设备和处理性能，减轻了其他公司的风险。

“We use the software ourselves in our own Monitoring & Diagnostics centers to manage trillions of dollars in asset value,” he continued. “Today, in the GE Industrial Performance and Reliabilty Center, GE engineers monitor thousands of mission critical assets for our customers to ensure uptime, asset reliability overall production throughput."

Another new part of the suite is Proficy Knowledge Center, a model-driven, browser-based visualization application. Tightly coupling an asset data model with historical time-series data, Proficy Knowledge Center supports unified views of process health and equipment health for increasing productivity and decision making. The solution builds on Proficy Historian to efficiently store and display immense amounts of time-series data. Results of data analyzed by Proficy CSense or Proficy SmartSignal are then visualized through the Knowledge Center in model context making it easy to navigate and understand.

Proficy Monitoring＆Analysis软件套件可远程使用来监视一家工厂或公司的全球运营。结果，它提供了信息以增加设备可用性并减少计划外停机时间，提高产量并降低可变性，并降低维护成本和库存。Proficy Monitoring＆Analysis套件提供了四个基本功能：

Improved data management: The platform can manage and aggregate all time-series data and process data for authorized personnel anywhere with access to a web browser. Tremendous volumes of real-time data can be collected, archived, and distributed at extremely high speeds and low storage costs—in the Cloud. More data over longer periods of time can allow for advanced analysis and greater insight into actual versus optimal equipment and process performance—leading to a competitive advantage.

Improved asset health: Using advanced predictive analytics and diagnostics, companies can monitor all critical assets automatically and continuously, 24 hours/day. The software “learns” normal asset behavior and detects variances to provide early warnings of impending problems, with diagnoses of equipment and process failures and prioritizations based on severity. Early warning reduces catastrophic equipment failure and enables proactive versus costly reactive maintenance.

Process optimization: The software also optimizes processes with advanced analytics that identify unknown correlations in process variables that can lead to sub-optimal performance. It allows for what-if analysis to find solutions that optimize processes—at the same time optimizing for asset health. Process optimization increases yield, while reducing variability.

Data visualization: The suite features web-based reporting to deliver role- and asset-based information that unlocks the value of the data in context to the right person at the right time.

“This Proficy software suite allows a company to move from reactive to proactive. It allows them to start small and scale to massive based on their needs. And, it allows them to leverage local systems and cloud solutions - all from the same product suite.” concluded Courtney.
