Operational Technology (OT) reporting systems are specialized tools used to monitor, manage, and report on the performance and condition of operational technologies in industrial environments.
OT encompasses the hardware and software used to sense and control physical devices and processes in an industrial setting.
Continuous data collection from OT devices such as sensors, actuators, control systems, and other equipment. These real-time data are crucial for tracking and managing operational performance.
Aggregation of data from various OT systems and devices into a central repository. This may include integrating data from SCADA systems, PLCs, RTUs, and other industrial control systems.
Monitoring of the performance indicators of operational systems and processes. This includes tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) such as production rates, equipment efficiency, downtime, and more.
Detection and reporting of abnormal conditions, equipment failures, or process deviations. OT reporting systems generate alarms and events to alert operators of issues that require attention.
Storing historical data for analysis and reporting purposes. This helps in understanding trends, identifying patterns, and making data-driven decisions to optimize operational processes.
Creation of comprehensive reports and visual dashboards that present data in an easily understandable format. This includes graphs, tables, and charts that summarize the performance and condition of operational systems.
Maintaining logs and records to ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations. OT reporting systems also provide audit trails that track changes, events, and actions taken by operators.
Applying data analysis and machine learning to predict equipment failures before they occur. This helps in proactively scheduling maintenance activities, reducing downtime, and extending the lifespan of equipment.
