October 11, 2012 - Invensys Operations Management updated Avantis Decision Support System (DSS) software. Version 5.0 of the software leverages the company’s Wonderware Intelligence software to provide manufacturing and executive decision makers with role-based asset management analytics and reporting, helping to drive asset excellence. Avantis.DSS software is a decision-support system that transforms transaction data into meaningful and actionable business analytics based on the individual’s specific role within an organization. The software is pre-configured to support a comprehensive set of key performance indicators based on best practices in asset management. Users can consolidate reporting across sites; create analytics; enable drill down and drill through views; and include data from various source systems to provide greater context. The Avantis.DSS software has three primary components: data extraction/transform/load (ETL), aggregation and visualization. The ETL component is built exclusively on Microsoft technology, leveraging a set of Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) for extracting source data from the Avantis.PRO software. The next step aggregates this information in to multi-dimensional data cubes for easier manipulation. The visualization component then helps create role-specific dashboards and leverages the power of Wonderware Intelligence software.
“Today’s customers expect easy access to information about their assets, anytime, anywhere. They want the power to filter and manipulate the data and display personal- or role-based KPIs,” said Kim Custeau, marketing manager for Invensys Operations Management’s asset management product line. “The new Avantis.DSS software allows users to extract the right data at the right time, and easily visualizes KPIs that measure their plant or facility’s asset management operations. “In addition, we have leveraged our broad software portfolio by integrating our Avantis.DSS software with our Wonderware Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence software to bring even greater value across our installed base and provide innovative solutions for new customers,” Custeau stated. “Integrating our Avantis.DSS and Wonderware Intelligence software enables our customers to gather, store and report on both historical and real-time operational data, using a dashboard to present KPIs that are used to visualize, tune and maximize their operations in real time,” Custeau said. “It’s the next step to achieving asset excellence.” About Invensys Operations Management Invensys Operations Management, a division of Invensys, is a leading provider of automation and information technology, systems, software solutions, services and consulting to the global manufacturing and infrastructure industries.
