Advanced Analytics Boosts Production
Specialist in manufacturing and industrial internet of things (IIoT) advanced analytics software, Seeq Announces Seeq Enterprise & Seeq Team Editions. The two new editions address end-user deployment requirements from individual plants and facilities to multi-plant enterprise and cloud deployments. Oil & Gas industries are among the applications sectors.
Seeq Corporation, a company specializing in manufacturing and industrial internet of things (IIoT) advanced analytics, enables manufacturing companies to quickly identity and share production data. Companies in chemical, pharmaceutical, oil & gas, renewable energies companies and other vertical sectors can benefit from Seeq’s solutions to improve their results in terms of efficiency, margins, quality and safety. Seeq has recently launched two software packages: Seeq Team and Seeq Enterprise editions. These editions address the needs of customers from a local water utility to a chemical, pharmaceutical or Oil & Gas multinational. For instance, as far as the latter sector is concerned, all phases of extraction, refining, and distribution in the oil & gas industry offer many opportunities for production data analysis to achieve better results in terms of efficiency, processing time, safety, and yields. Seeq enables process experts to investigate and uncover useful information in days rather than weeks or months.
The latest editions rely on the company’s expertise in process industries
Both Seeq editions, which run best as SaaS on AWS or Microsoft Azure, represent the culmination of learning and experiences with hundreds of Seeq deployments in process manufacturing organizations. For these manufacturers, Seeq enables advanced analytics insights to improve production and business outcomes across their organizations. Seeq Cortex, a renaming of Seeq Server, is included in both editions and is the execution engine that delivers key features, including multi-source and type data connectivity, security, calculation scalability, and other features. Seeq Cortex ensures immediate and long-term support for customer data architectures and IT requirements.
The benefits offered by the server in short
Cortex benefits include: abstraction of data sources with high-speed connectivity to multiple and diverse time series and contextual data sources, including historians and SQL-based data sources; Calculation speed with a highly parallelized, time-series specific engine to enable fast execution of analytics including data interpolation, filtering, cleansing, and modelling; Data security and user access control through integration with OSIsoft PI for tag-level access control, or organizations may implement their own governance policies.
Seeq Team is optimized for new deployments in a single site facility such as a water utility or power generation plant with a limited number of time series and contextual data sources, or for the first usage of Seeq by a workgroup within a larger organization. Quick and easy deployment of Seeq and resulting ROI will demonstrate the benefit of leveraging existing data and expertise to improve production outcomes.
The Enterprise edition is designed for complex deployments
Seeq Enterprise is designed for complex single-plant, multi-site, or enterprise deployments with hundreds or thousands of users. It includes support for more complex data sources such as data lakes and ERP systems, along with features for integrating OT and IT data science teams driving digital transformation initiatives.
Features specific to Seeq Enterprise include:
-Seeq Data Lab is built on Jupyter Notebooks to enable easy Python access to Seeq functionality and to the vast library of open source modules and algorithms.
-Unlimited Seeq users: Seeq Enterprise does not have a limit on number of users.
-More and complex data sources: Seeq Enterprise supports up to 10 connections including data sources such as data lakes, ERP, and non-SQL databases.
-Audit trail support: Seeq Enterprise includes features and administration tools for customers in regulated industries including support for CFR Part 11.
-Data visualization tools: Seeq Enterprise supports data integration with BI and process applications such as Tableau, PowerBI, Spotfire and OSIsoft PI Vision.
