The platform is also pre-integrated with Apache Superset and offers embedded dashboards as well as quick drag-and-drop data exploration. The prestodb query engine ODBC connectors enable you to import and explore data from your existing BI solutions such as Tableau, Looker, PowerBI, etc,

IoT Solutions
Sightline Systems helps manufacturers analyze Internet of Things “IIoT” (also know as Industry 4.0) data from production runs, which helps improve product quality and reduce costs. The advanced Sightline Systems analytics tool can analyze massive volumes of data created during the manufacturing process and correlate the data in seconds. This allows engineers to quickly make process improvements which can improve quality and reduce costs. The manufacturing landscape is changing due to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Sightline believes that the answers to pressing operational questions lie within the data, and that the current generation of tools take too long and are too hard to use to quickly reveal critical insights. Capitalize on the all of the data generated from IIoT. Don’t just gather data….utilize it to help your manufacturing operations become better, faster and stronger than ever before. Experience faster time to insight and achieve results in seconds that replace days of manual work copying and manipulating industrial process data sets. Sightline helps a single manufacturing environment or multiple facilities spanning the globe. This analysis and correlation is in addition to the traditional Sightline Systems use for IT Performance Monitoring, Predictive Analytics, Smart Devices and Capacity Planning. Sightline’s EDM solution is also a great way to join the Operations Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) departments.
The Sight Machine Platform Sight Machine enables companies to gain real-time visibility and actionable insights for every part, machine, line, and plant throughout a manufacturing enterprise. Our analytics platform enables manufacturers to use all of their data―no matter where or in what format it’s created.

Industrial data solution

ConnectedThinks offers pre-built solutions to specific industries. All these solutions are built on-top of the Industrial data-platform and can be deployed and commisioned in matter of couple weeks. Reach out to us to discuss your specific requirements.

Manufacturing data analytics

Factories generate large amounts of data. A single PLC node in the factory could provide significant information about the health of the equipment and system it is driving. This information could significantly reduce the maintenance cost or avoid losses.

ConnectedThinks Industrial data platform enables connecting data from every PLC, sensor, equipment, MES, ERP system, and even data from human staff and bringing this to a managed data platform in real-time. The platform enables configuring real-time correlation, transformation, trend analysis, and anomaly analysis on this data to transform it into insights that answer key business questions and alert in time to reduce cost and better quality.

You could connect CNCs from Controller systems such as Siemens Sinumerik 840D SL and monitor critical signals in real time. The real-time visualizations engine is capable of displaying high-frequency data captured from these CNCs.

Vision and Sound Machine Learning

Vision and Sound are 2 important systems for inspection in industrial environments. ConnectedThinks offers ML-based solutions built with data from relatively cheaper IP surveillance cameras and microphones. These help to become the Eyes and Ears for your industrial setup.

AMR, AGV and warehouse solutions

With new robotics technology opening doors for companies of all sizes, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automation are becoming more popular in the manufacturing industry. Changing economic conditions, shortage in the supply of manual labor, and multiple such factors have led manufacturers to adopt an aggressive strategy to automate their workflows. The ConnectedThinks Edge Middleware is deployed on an Edge Compute Device and enables multiple edge functionalities such as Machine Learning predictions, device connectivity drivers, industrial interface protocols, network connectivity, etc. It is capable of running on Intel or ARM-based edge processors running Linux. It is also capable of running Edge analytics for data that is collected and localized to the edge. More often than not, AMRs are deployed on factory floors where they need to collaborate with other equipment in order to complete a job. For example, an AMR which needs to transfer goods across multiple floors needs to collaborate with the automated-lift system. Or the AMR needs to collaborate with the conveyor system for the loading and unloading of goods. Or in other cases, a bar-code scanner attached to the AMR would determine the destination. In all such cases, additional software logic and/or hardware Edge Gateways would be needed to connect to various machinery and equipment and help the AMR collaborate.
