Data collection and analysis

Control Automation Solutions can collect any data from any asset in your production environment. This is done through a PLC or through our IIOT Studio system which can read multiple different communication protocols, and can be programmed to communicate with most HMIs/PLCs or other data sources to collect data from them.

Data collection with IIOT Studio

With IIOT Studio data collection is a easy as configuring a data source, and specifying the data points you would like to receive. You can also configure logic to calculate OEE or do any other form of data pre-processing before storing the data values. The values can also be written back to a PLC or HMI, or they can be collected and used by an AI because of the standardised way of storing the data from different machines and communication protocols.

If there is no PLC in the loop, IIOT studio can also read data by using its own remote IO and sensors, which can also be IOT sensors.

Data collection without IIOT Studio

If you want to collect data in a data lake or warehouse, Control Automation Solutions can also help to set all your automation systems up to do just that. With all of our knowledge and experience off communication protocols, data storage systems, IT environment and Automation systems, we can easily get data from any system and store the data safely in a data lake. Creating the IT infrastructure for easy data storage and cloud synchronisation is also something you can trust Control Automation Solutions with.

Data Analysis

When data is stored in a standardised way, Control Automation Solutions can use AI and Neural Network technologies to help analyse the data quickly. Control Automation Solutions creates and trains neural networks to support decision making for plant operators and support operators doing their work. This increases safe operation of the site and prevents accidents from happening when it comes to personal safety, this increase can be made even more significant if Control Automation Solutions can implement AI maintenance support on top off the operator process monitoring support.
