Analysis Framework
The Analysis Framework from OSIsoft is a flexible product that enables an organization to define a consistent representation of its assets.
Business Challenge
In today’s business climate, companies struggle to satisfy the growing information appetite of their data consumers—who include knowledge workers across the company, line of business managers, and executives. Most organizations own an abundance of data from many sources from which meaningful information might be extracted. However, this data is often inconsistent and can have varying definitions and names—adding considerable complexity to even simple analyses. In developing and deploying targeted applications that utilize this data, these companies often resort to rigid point solutions that rely upon programmatic integration techniques, which make the job of managing and maintaining these applications an expensive process. Companies must find a way to perform analyses efficiently without burdening their information management infrastructure.
Analysis DataSheet Overview
The Analysis Framework from OSIsoft is a flexible product that enables an organization to define a consistent representation of its assets and use these assets in simple to complex analyses that yield critical and actionable information. Through its intuitive user interface, Analysis Framework allows an application designer to
1. Identify the components or elements that make up a process;
2. Associate data - be it real-time or relational data- with these elements;
3. Organize elements into logical groups (e.g., asset templates) and specify relationships;
4. Apply calculations, rules, or solvers; and
5. Determine how results are to be displayed.
Once defined, individual assets can be organized and regrouped, without limitations, to drive meaningful analyses and enable rich presentation of data. Because it is configuration-driven rather than programmatically-driven, the Analysis Framework allows users to accomplish all of these tasks easily and rapidly.
