Integration Objects Offerings

1. Knowledge Based Decision Support

It is based on IO’s KnowledgeNet^® Suite of products, which include primarily:

• Data server that collects data from many sources like DCS, SCADA, Data Historians, LIMS, ERP.
• Rule engine used to detect complex events by combining logic, events, models, statistics, temporal reasoning, Fourier transforms, etc.
• Root cause analysis engine to build cause and effect fault models that is event driven and can identify the root cause of any predicted issue.
• Workflow engine that is event driven and can execute procedural and sequence of actions. Workflows are used to enforce and automate best practices for corrective actions.
• Advanced analytics that help end-users understand the depth of their manufacturing processes, identify different operating modes including abnormal conditions, clean data and transform them into useful information, extract models and knowledge by loading big data and alarm database.

2. Connectivity Solutions
The Company provides connectivity solutions based on OPC standards that help collect real-time and historical data, alarms and events, from many different automation systems, SCADA, Databases, etc., with an option to
comply with cyber security standards.

Emerging from the crowd
Unlike its competition, IO models are based on expert rules, filtering false information, managing unplanned events, taking into consideration operating conditions, and actual plant data analytics to reflect reality. In addition, automated root cause analysis is carried out while most of the other companies do it manually.

The ability to link and tightly
integrate business and manufacturing objectives, to deploy applications that solve complex problems in a relatively short time frame, to perform automated root cause analysis in real time, to extract deep expert knowledge automatically from historical data and to combine event driven expert rules, models, workflows, and fault propagation, and deploy analytics and machine learning models in real-time are few of the many factors that sets IO apart from its competitors.
