changing from a reactive to a
prescriptive way of working is one of
the biggest challenges for large
complex asset intensive organizations
like yours
enabling your own subject matter experts
to create an integrated common operating
picture that is strategically aligned
with your business objectives is the
only way to manage your operations in
real time at scale
you already have existing
complex infrastructure with fixed and
mobile assets and production facilities
that are in most instances
already instrumented with sensors plc's
and automation systems
these assets with sensors and iot
capabilities
generate a whole lot of signals and data
in near real time you also have many
disparate industrial and business
systems to capture store and analyze
these signals
and machine-borne data from your assets
typical systems in your organization may
vary from historians eam and erp systems
operational databases data lakes and a
plethora of other third party analytics
and engineering systems
these systems not only get signals and
data from the assets but also from the
transactional information from the
people in your business the new
generation business processes that
enable them
and the process automation needed to
manage this at scale
this is the real operational landscape
for your organization and many others
like you
changing from a reactive mode of
operation to prescriptive way that
includes predicting key events and then
advising the best course of action under
the current operating conditions
require a different way of finding and
responding to real-time events as they
happen
or are predicted to happen
you can't just rely on the alarms and
alerts from all the multitudes of
different systems that each notify you
in various modes on different platforms
or apps
and expect that
existing business processes can support
business users who
are already
stressed and have limited capacity
for them to be able to respond
effectively to this fire hose of the
alarm of alarms
changing from a reactive to a
prescriptive mode of operation requires
an integrated and
automated common operating picture such
as used in military and emergency
response
scenarios
now creating such a common operating
picture requires first finding the key
events that are happening or likely to
happen from all the millions of signals
and data points from these sensors plcs
and automation systems on your assets
and the information from your internal
business systems and then also
environmental signals from external
systems such as weather predictions
real-time commodity prices and other
and others to name a few
examples data streams provide a visual
way of connecting
disparate data sources using a library
of hundreds of integration connectors to
take the millions of signals and data
points and find the key events that you
are interested in
these events include asset performance
and utilization events such as
production maintenance quality safety
and lately esg events
the data streams identify these events
in real time by adding context from
existing business systems and applies
some form of analytic to this streaming
data
this analytic can be as simple as a
basic filter or as advanced as a neural
network ai model for example
it enables subject matter experts to
identify specific events of interest
and which is based on their knowledge of
your equipment and your operations
the next step is then
to make these key business events
accessible to the right people in your
business with the right information
at the right time
the xm pro app designer provides a drag
and drop interface for subject matter
experts to create a common operating
picture that aligns with the business
levers of your o of your business at all
levels of the organization
this ensures
that
how you respond to these key events
support the strategic initiatives of
your organization
the executive perspective provides a
strategic view that shows the event
intelligence a context of current and
forecasted kpis and business metrics
at the next level or tactical level the
event intelligence enables planning and
assessment of potential impact on
resources while at the operational level
a technician has a real-time view with
prescriptive recommendations on how to
respond in an effective and timely
manner all three levels look at the same
data and the same common operating
picture but with different lenses
in this way the common operating picture
approach differs from the single pane of
glass approach as it provides multiple
perspectives with all the information
and context based on the on the
application or the use cases for the
user which may differ from one to
another user it is still a single pane
for that user but those panes may differ
based on the role and the level and the
context that is needed
the common operating picture transforms
event intelligence into real time
operations intelligence delivered in the
users context this helps
people manage better it enables new
business processes that may not have
have existed before and potentially
provide business process automation to
handle much of this without human
intervention
the final step to move from reactive to
prescriptive operations is to provide
prescriptive recommendations for each
business event that needs to be
responded to
the exam pro recommendation engine
provides a common way to address events
in this common operating picture at all
levels
similar to going to the doctor for a
prescription and not just for a
prediction of an ailment you want to
provide prescriptive actions based on
the best practices
from experienced frontline technicians
from your equipment supplies and the
knowledge of your subject matter experts
like process and reliability engineers
the prescription is not just predicting
what is likely to happen but how to
respond how to mitigate risks and
potentially how to exploit an
opportunity
the exim pro recommendations provide a
consistent user interface at all levels
and
at all perspectives from this common
operating picture it is the same
experience at at the strategic level at
the tactical and operational levels
it further has the capability to
integrate alarms and alerts from
hundreds of third-party systems that
your organization want you to track
right now
it is possible to bring in all of those
in a consistent interface with this
approach to reduce the noise from all
the alarms and alert systems
and it also provides the same
prescriptive approach on how to best
address them
the prescriptive recommendations close
the loop on
responding to key events in the right
way at the right time
it is the automated event advisor that
provides guidance visibility
and accountability consistently across
all levels of your organization
this common operating
picture is a is an intelligent digital
twin approach that provides always on
situational awareness with prescriptive
guidance to empower your smartest people
to pull the
the levers that align with your business
strategy at all levels of your business
the common operating picture further
reduces the risk of being blindsided by
key business events that are happening
or likely to happen
and finally this common operating
picture provides
the opportunity to improve
accountability and closes the feedback
loop
that provides the visibility and
opportunity to learn as an organization
