in this demonstration I'm going to show
you how to detect and respond to
critical events in real time without
having to look at data in 20 different
systems like you probably have to do now
now the XM pro event intelligent
platform consists of three main
components and the first one or the data
streams that you see on the Left which
is really aimed at connecting and
bringing information from those 20
different systems in the middle we help
you visualize and find those key events
that you are looking for that you want
to respond to and the last part is how
do you respond to those through
recommended actions or having act or
having actions and workflows in other
systems so let me jump in and we're
going to start with what you see on the
left the data streams and how do we
connect all of this information coming
from multiple data sources then we'll
move into how do we set up these
visualizations and in the notifications
that go with them because you don't look
at a dashboard 24 by 7 to be honest you
need notifications around specific
events that are starting to happen and
then how do you respond to those was
recommended actions so let's jump into
the data streams so this is the central
console where you can access all the
different modules within XM pro so the
app designer the data stream process
designer what you'll see I have
different instances running production
simulation demonstration instances so
I'll actually jump into the data stream
designer itself and this is where we set
up those integrations where we can
connect to those 20 different systems
get data from them and the data could be
real-time data from machines from
websites from Web Services from other
business applications and streaming data
that that could come from multiple
sources you can also then decide how to
apply some analytics to it and what
actions you want to drive from it you
can organize it into the into different
areas so in this instance different
categories are based on your business
structure of business organization
supply chains safety and this instance
I'm going to look at equipment
and I'm also just going to show you two
different examples the one is a very
basic simple example for condition
monitoring and the second one we are
adding some smarts in terms of being
able to predict when certain equipment
is going to film so let me start with
this simple version and in this one we
are just going to connect to one data
source in this instance the data source
is through OPC UA which is a protocol
based and we're getting temperature and
vibration readings for this pump we're
getting the make and model of the pump
from a different database system so this
is data in motion this is typically data
traced so this is fast moving fast
changing it could be thousands of
records per second it could be a couple
of records every five minutes it really
depends on the use case in the
application that you set up so in this
instance we're getting the vibration and
temperature data we we contextualize it
with a make and model because we want to
set the rule for the vibration checking
for that specific model and then we want
to start a space and work order request
inside external system like ASAP or
something in this instance we kicking
off a workflow inside XM pro and then we
would like to SMS someone that something
is happening so a very simple structure
in terms of being able to monitor
real-time now I can apply this model for
one or tens or hundreds or even
thousands of pumps that run the same so
if I've got two or three hundred slurry
pumps I can run the same model it's one
instance across all of them and it will
continuously look across all of them for
these conditions I'm trying to find
these events I'm trying to find when the
vibration is above a certain level and
what we have from from a the ability to
bring data in is something we call
listeners so these are all agents our
listening agents and this is just a
subset but there's a broad range of
listening agents so we can listen from
again a broad range and if we don't have
it it's pretty easy for us to get it
to our library that you see here just
different systems where I can get
real-time data streaming in or where I
can actually poll so if it's not a data
that can as a data source I can push it
to me I can also pull it in context data
this is where I make model maintenance
records other information that I may
have which may sit in something like
Maxima or SME or any one of those
systems again this is just a subset of
some other systems where we can get
contexts from so that we can certainly
now which bump or this temperature value
belongs to because the sensor typically
just sends the sensor ID or something
like that along in terms of
transformations this is how we
manipulate the data so how what do we
want to do with it how can we aggregate
how can we filter how can we join how
can we pass through how can we set up
thresholds the ones that you see there
all of these ability to until to
transform the data in one shape of form
in the next example I'll share a little
bit around the machine learning
capability where we just bring in some
machine learning but in this instance we
don't use it but we have standard
machine learning capability built-in so
multi-class classification regression so
this is typically Willet file what is
remaining useful life but you can bring
in things like jupiter notebooks if you
already have models in Watson or or
Azure or those you can you can actually
bring them in as well
functions these are things like fast
Fourier transformations or functions
that you want to perform when you
manipulate things like Python scripts or
R scripts or certain signal folders that
you that you want to do so these are
more function based not so much
transforming the data but just applying
the data and getting an answer and or
something and then lastly and almost
most importantly is what are the actions
that you want to do because we're not
trying to do this just so that we can
detect them we actually want to respond
to them so it's around event response
and then optimizing that response
so these are the different action agents
and again a subset so in MI for example
want to say another email as you can see
we've got a SMA severe I might want to
update a 3m smart contract I may want to
send it to a chat bot I may want to
broad range again and then the generic
interfaces like race type II eyes and
and other standard protocols and formats
that you can send things through so
again just a subset and you can also
send it into XM Pro into the app
designer into the into the application
itself where we run rules and
recommendations and have a user
interface for all of this data that
we've put together again a very simple
example if I double click on this what
it'll show you is just how I set up this
the configuration for this I'll show you
another example in a minute of a PI
server or OSI soft server where the
configuration very similar
it just has different fields and
information you can see this is what
it's bossing me in my OPC UI link that
it's sending so this is the topic that
it sends it to and I just subscribe to
this endpoint and I'm getting streaming
data into the application itself so if I
show a live view of that information I
can actually see some of the data coming
in and this is a unit that sits in our
Dallas office so I can get temperature
vibration readings and just to show you
that this is actually connecting from
live data and this instance this is just
one but it could be reading from from
multiple devices and for those I would
then get the individual ones so this is
just a live data view this is not a
dashboard that we show to the in
customer this is really just to see that
the data that comes out the the thing is
the data that we've all that we are
looking for so very briefly this is what
I this is how we connect up those 20
data sources if I go back
and if we look at and so you just got
back to the pumps and just to very
quickly show a more advanced or expanded
version it's still a predictive still a
centrifugal pump still getting
temperature vibration but now we're
getting pressure and flow from OSI soft
in this instance I still have access to
all the same connectors so I can drag
them on my can have multiple inputs and
again this is how you connect up the 20
different data sources in this instance
is reading from a set beam you can see
from a confer configuration point of
view this is slightly different to the
one that I showed before but I'm I can
and this is looking at the OSI soft
asset framework for example and brings
back the elements as well as the
components and I can choose some of the
others that I might want them I want the
Impella size or something like that so
this is how I set that up in this
instance it's the same we're still
checking for thresholds but I'm also
calling a predictive model in this
instance Azure based model to predict
the likelihood of failure is this thing
likely to fail yes or no if it is I want
to run a sec a second predictive model
so I can join models together and in
this instance what is remaining useful
life how much time do I have before this
pump fails and again I'm sending this
into my ex-emperor ab designer which
I'll show you in a minute how we now get
this data into a user interface but this
is a key aspect in a really important
aspect of being able to build real time
event response solutions is being able
to connect to multiple data sources get
a high volume of data flowing fast and
being able to find the exceptions and
find the key events that you are looking
for and bring the data from from big
data to small data to the action that
you actually want to do just to try and
build a dashboard that connects to all
of these sources it doesn't have the
capability to help you find the key
things it can show you the tank level it
doesn't tell you whether the tank level
is actually a problem and I'll get back
to the tank level
in a minute so this is the data designer
so if I go back to the so this is the
the data stream designer and this is
where we connect all of these data what
we now want to do is create them using
the fly so just show it to someone so
that they can see what's happening they
want to see certain of the areas and
then have some recommendations around
what to do now
we don't call these dashboards for us
they are event boards and the reason is
the purpose is slightly different so if
I quickly go in and show you an example
of such a event board this is connected
to some data flowing at the back and
here's the event board so what this
tells me is there are certain key events
starting to happen or both things are
already happening there's an event right
now or there's a likely event starting
to happen it doesn't show me the tank
level it this differs from an HMI view
or a control system view or something
like that where you can see the speeds
and feeds and the motor amps and all
those information which in actual fact
you don't really care too much about
until you know it's wrong so I need to
know whether a high tank level is a good
thing or a bad thing just having an
indicator telling me this is sitting at
the top doesn't really tell me if this
is a good event or a bad event or and is
it something I should be concerned about
or not and that's the whole purpose of
what we call event board so we put these
event boards together and there's
different ways of displaying the
information so this is one way so in
this instance you can see there's a
problem with this bump and we'll get
into the recommendation that was fired
for this in a minute but B I just want
to show you a slightly different example
of and if I go back to this if I look at
the conveyors on that on that plant
itself I can also have a different view
way for all the different two conveyors
I can see certain properties and I can
have a rule behind the property to say
well in terms of this instance the the
the amps on the motors for this conveyor
is this a challenge and they might be
because the this certain real-time
information and again I can show you
whether this is good or bad and what
does it mean which is more important
than just having a tonnage
it's decide is this tonnage good or is
it bad it's the multi amps good or is it
bad is something starting to happen and
do I need to respond to it
so again just going back to this plant
over here and I could actually have just
gone through into that but I will let's
look at the mod example so in this
instance I can see the discharge
pressures current fluorides I can see
and over a period of time so I can see
certain information around that now
you'll recall a whole bunch of dots Anya
and I told me this is a good event or a
bad event or the way that you decide in
terms of the colouring is at read events
or needs immediately action a yellow
events might be longer this is really
completely up to to you to configure
when you design these apps and I'll show
in a minute how we put these together
but before I do that I just want to show
you what a recommendation is so here's
an example of a pump that we drill down
to and I can either access it from here
or let me go into the pump itself I look
at some of the information I can see
what's happening and now I click into
the recommendation another
recommendation is how we act on the
event and what you'll see is this is the
data that fired that instance so you can
see in the past it's been resolved this
is the this is the real time data that
fired this is the I can put in a
recommendation recommendation here to
see to say or to say please check
something or do something or what or
make a suggestion to the maintenance
planner or in terms of what they should
put on the work order to say this is a
test impeller
and I'm not going to this is a tasting
Bella up can't spell please discuss with
manufacturers so I can now so the
reliability engineer or some subject
Mattox but can actually look at we're
going to type all of it out so you can
talk to the manufacturer I can either do
this automated or what we find a lot of
organizations want I want to create a
work request number so in the ASAP or
Oracle or Maximo system they were going
create a work request number and we
would then Paul that system to see when
a work order is created by the
maintenance planet this could be done
fully or automated as well so right at
the india you could actually just create
a work order inside sa p if you wanted
to but in this example we are doing that
you can also put together different
instructions and the way that you set
this up which is actually kind of more
important in a way is setting up these
rules for these recommendations is and
I'm just going to go into manage
recommendations this is the area where I
can manage a lot of all of these rules
that I set up around specific events
that I want to fire and these are the
ones that you saw the red dot and you
saw the yellow dot appears for that red
threshold this is the rule that and you
can see this is a very simple rule that
we've got with the data that that's
that's coming out of our taste system
but I can do I can just create that red
threshold what could be a low suction
pressure or in this instance distance
pressure high threshold or in this very
simply named red here and then the
information that flows in this data
stream that you see word game weight
it's this this is the data that actually
flows out here so I've got access to all
of these different fields that I can now
put a rule against then when this rule
is true it will put that dot on there
for me or whatever other indicate that
the dot is just one that we find is
pretty pretty Universal but you could
put any indicator or any notification
that goes with that I can either have a
value or it could be something another
variable that comes in that so if the
flow rate is less or equal to the power
this one doesn't make sense but it
illustrates the concept of what we are
doing here and I now have a rule and
when the con when the data flows through
this data flow it finds the true
condition it would then give me the
notification it would put the it would
put the dot on the on the equipment for
me and also give me this recommendation
which I saw earlier that I can now
either great work requests have stand
procedures around how to fix this and
use this as a recommended action now the
benefit of this is this can be done by
someone who's been there like 45 years
you captured it in their knowledge
around what would you do when these
conditions exist what would you
recommended actions be and through that
you also build up in your knowledge base
the best actions under certain certain
circumstances the other benefit is that
person who's who knows how to operate
and use this doesn't always have to sit
in the control room they can sit in the
in the office in the boardroom they
could even sit in the bedroom and be
able to monitor look at things and then
make decisions on what are the best next
actions that you could do now there's a
lot more to this but one last thing I
just want to show you is how do you set
up these now this is running on live
data so I'm just going to use this a
slightly different system but we'll
still have the same
view this is how I manage and set up
those applications so I'm just going to
use the landing page for now and this is
how you design those event boards it is
a user interface for that and we have
all the you build it up completely
through a drag-and-drop user interface
so different layout components so and
I'm not going to go through all of them
but you can see this charts these
checkboxes is data selectors is file
uploaders grids lists sliders sparklines
graphs different kinds of charts and
graphs the certain actions like
hyperlinks it'll take you around and
most importantly widgets so I can make
this so if I take the whole area that
you see here I can actually turn this
into a widget I just save it and now
next time I can reuse this sorry and
just go back to the blocks I can reuse
this as a widget now wiring this up to
the page data and the underlying data
this is all handled through through the
data stream and the data stream
connectors for the app so the app can
get its real-time information from that
data stream it can display it to you and
then you set up the logic or the way
that you want to display this
information with what you want where how
and again we've got templates for
different layouts but you can also take
components like this that you reuse a
lot and make them into widgets so that's
kind of the 50,000 foot view of what
ex-emperor is how we put this all
together and again just the reiterate it
consists of three different components I
can get my 20 different systems that I
look at combine the data get a logical
for flow of data going through it and so
I can go from Big Data all of these
different systems
into smarter data into the actions that
I want I can visualize it but also
behind this I can set up the rules to
send emails SMS notifications to systems
like themes slack or whatever it is
where you want these actions to be
notified
I can then drill down into a
recommendation and decide what action I
want this could automatically create an
action into a back-end work or the
system for you for example but this is
how we help you to detect and respond to
critical events in real time without
having to look at data or systems or 20
different things where the data could be
