IoT Solutions | The Sight Machine Platform
Sight Machine enables companies to gain real-time visibility and actionable insights for every part, machine, line, and plant throughout a manufacturing enterprise. Our analytics platform enables manufacturers to use all of their data―no matter where or in what format it’s created. We do this with an automated and systematic data intake process that acquires, refines, and contextualizes data, creating a digital twin of each part and process.
Manufacturing Analytics Applications
Unlocks the next level of Digital Manufacturing by delivering advanced analytics for improved productivity, quality, and supply chain optimization.
Manufacturing Visibility Applications
Real-time visibility of factory and machine performance from across your company delivered on an intelligent, secure, and scalable platform.
FactoryTX Edge and FactoryTX Cloud
FactoryTX Edge and FactoryTX Cloud help manufacturers rapidly deploy and extend Digital Manufacturing capabilities throughout their enterprise. | Making life easier for software developers in the industrial domain is our mission. Industry 4.0 is about value-adding applications, not dealing with connectivity issues. Cybus is designed for reliable and secure data acquisition to minimize custom system integration efforts. Industrial device manufacturers (OEMs) can now offer a universal API within their products by implementing the Cybus stack right onto their hardware. | Accelerated Analytics Platform
Accelerated Analytics Platform
The OmniSci platform is designed to overcome the scalability and performance limitations of legacy analytics tools faced with the scale, velocity and location attributes of today’s big datasets. Those tools are collapsing, becoming too slow and too hardware-intensive to be effective in big data analytics.
OmniSciDB
Open source SQL engine
The foundation of the platform is OmniSciDB, the world’s fastest open-source, analytics database. OmniSciDB harnesses the power of GPUs and CPUs and returns SQL query results in milliseconds, even on tables with many billions of rows. OmniSciDB delivers that extreme big data analytics performance with a combination of support for native SQL, rapid query compilation, query vectorization and advanced three-tier memory management.
OmniSci Render
Server-side visual rendering
OmniSci Render is a server-side engine designed for rendering pointmap, scatterplot and polygon visualizations of massive datasets. This gives users zero-latency, exploratory interaction with complex visualizations, something never before possible. For geospatial visualization, the Vega rendering engine API allows users to visualize up to billions of points, lines, or polygons.
OmniSci Immerse
Interactive visual analytics
OmniSci Immerse is a web-based data visualization interface, leveraging the accelerated speed and rendering capabilities of OmniSciDB and OmniSci Render for unparalleled visual interaction. OmniSci Immerse is incredibly intuitive and easy to use, providing standard visualizations, such as line, bar, and pie charts, as well as complex data visualizations, such as geo-point maps, geo heat maps, choropleths, and scatter plots. Dashboards automatically cross-filter when interacting with data, and refresh with zero latency.
Data Integration
Connecting data sources to OmniSci
OmniSci open sourced the OmniSciDB SQL engine to make it easy and effortless for users and developers to accelerate analytics and Data Science workloads. OmniSciDB is available on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license, alongside other components like a Python interface (pymapd) and JavaScript infrastructure (omnisci-connector, omnisci-charting), making OmniSci the leader in Open Source accelerated analytics. | Integrate with your ERP to push & pull work order details, along with completed quantities, times, and more. Automatically generate work instructions by sending product configuration specifications. Capture and correlate data in any way through our open API. Transform into a Smart Manufacturing factory by combining VKS Connect with VKS Enterprise and linking your machines and tools. VKS Connect - With ToolConnect IoT and DataConnect possibility you can engage Smart Tools in your manufacturing process and capture strategic information while benefiting from 100% Traceability. | The proposed MES architecture is based on the Internet of Things (IoT), completely linking all resources and the manufacturing companies' security needs. Consequently, shop floor and IT clouds should be separated. In order for the machine level to reap benefits from cloud technologies, a specific modification known as the edge cloud or fog, was employed. The central instance, the Edge Gateway, connects the edge cloud with the IT cloud. Therefore, shop floor components can communicate with each other in real time and the IT cloud can retrieve and manage the data.
IT support in production plays a key role for Integrated Industry (Industry 4.0). In order to cover future production processes new standards and functions are required, which will especially affect MES applications. MPDV introduces a concept for the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) of the future MES 4.0. | Unisound is establishing a leading position in voice recognition technology, language technology, knowledge computing and big data analysis by using Machine Learning platform. Unisound's AI chips, AIUI and AI Service are now widely used in smart home, automotive, healthcare and education industries. | Elmodis system enables machine manufacturers to reduce the costs of guarantee repairs and improve their products. End users, on the other hand, have access to significant information regarding the machine operation and possible occurrence of any failures. This enables prevention of unscheduled outages, reduction of machine operating costs and, consequently, increases the availability of the entire machine stock. | Softlink is now developing an Industry 4.0 solutions combining 4 layers of products including iDEABOX, I/O system, Servo Drive System and Softlink 300 PLC.
