SkySpark can handle all kinds of data. This can be live data from an industrial automated system, a smart meter, an SQL Server database, historical data from an Excel file or via web services. A large number of standard interfaces are available for this.
At the heart of SkySpark is the high-performance Folio database, specially developed for IoT data. The Folio database combines the speed of an Industrial Historian with the capabilities of a relational database. As a result, data is heterogeneously organised into unified models of buildings with devices, systems and sensors.
By using advanced compression techniques, only a fraction of shear space is required for millions of time series records compared to other techniques. Live sensor data is stored in milliseconds.
This drastically reduces server hardware requirements.
SkySpark uses the industry-standard Project Haystack for semantic tagging of data. With the right tag coding, analysing data becomes easy and fast. Patterns are automatically interpreted this way, resulting in a clear overview of anomalies, errors and trends. With this, systems become more efficient and are applied correctly.
Getting access to data is just the first step. The challenge of big data is dealing with it efficiently.
Our solution is Axon: a Rule Based Engine, which automatically runs rules and algorithms over the data to generate Sparks (= things that matter). A Spark visually indicates what goes wrong in terms of duration, time, frequency, cause, solution and possibly cost impact. This way, you only see what is wrong and don't have to dig through the endless mountain of data.
SkySpark automatically generates the screens, notifications and reports to do what is necessary.
SkySpark comes standard with more than 500 built-in analytical functions. You can add your own new functions to this library for specific situations. In addition, SkySpark has a lively community, eager to share knowledge.
SkySpark comes with a comprehensive set of applications to visualise data and analytics. These intuitive views are displayed in all standard HTML5-based web browsers. SkySpark data can be exported to third-party applications via API.
