Hi, I'm Nicole Bulanda from Rockwell Automation. Thanks for joining us for
automation Fair on demand. We're in the technology and services showcase talking
about software now and I'm joined by Oliver to talk about factorytalk Data Mosaics
Oliver. What is factorytalk data mosaics? That's a great question factorytalk data
mosaics
is a new software tool that we launched in July of this year.
It's there to help make customers make more sense of their data for too long industrial
data production system data has been locked in silos either by function or Geography or
by plant and people haven't been able to get access to that data, which means they haven't
been able to organize their data. They haven't been able to make meaningful
decisions from their data and what we've seen so many customers try to do is just push
everything to the cloud and that's led to a lot of other situations that haven't been
very valuable. They haven't been able to make sense of the data because they just end up
with a data-set whomp at the end of the day and we want to help them make that data more
available more meaningful and more useful the data swamp sounds scary, but also like
something I think a lot of companies are experiencing right now. Can you give us an
example of an application of this? Yeah. Absolutely. We have customers that are using
factorytalk data mosaics to build better dashboards more contextualized information,
but we're also building software as a service applications to help customers get value
faster one of those that just launched is factorytalk energymetrix. This is a great way
for customers to start to contextualize a lot of different kinds of data time series data
from their flow meters and their electricity meters long with production data, like
they're good part counts and bad part accounts and Pulling other additional
information like whether data utility data all of this helps them make good analysis of
what energy they're using in their Factory and that's things that they couldn't have
done without organized contextualized data that was available across the Enterprise.
What an excellent application to I think is companies are looking to meet their
sustainability goals that they've set and also figure out how to read out on the goals
that they're meeting as well. So tell us how this pairs with an effective
Edge and Edge meant strategy for a company. Yeah
most of this data. Comes from the edge. It's either born at the devices or at the control
system layer, or maybe at the software that exists at the edge. Maybe it's stored in
historians or SQL databases. But all this data that's
on Prem. That's at the edge needs to come up to the cloud for good decision-making.
And so as part of this we've employed factorytalk EdgeMetrix as a way to help
manage the applications you're going to push to the edge those applications might be
things like factorytalk Optics which can help bring in data from lots of different sources.
Put it into an OPC way data. Contextualize it and then send it up to the cloud for further
analysis as well as other connectors and extractors
that you're going to use from factorytalk data mosaics to go get data from those SQL
databases from those historians. It all comes together with Edge and data really playing
together. So it's a it's really exciting strategy.
Thank you so much all over for telling us what's new with data management.
