Every decision starts with searching for the right answer.

Production data lives in historians. Maintenance records live in the CMMS. Orders come from ERP. Quality information sits somewhere else. The experience your team relies on often exists only in the heads of your most experienced people.

When information is spread across disconnected systems and tribal knowledge, even simple questions become difficult to answer. Teams spend more time searching than deciding.

Infohub Makes Your Data Ready To Use

Raw data  ➡ trusted information

Most manufacturers have plenty of operational data, but it lives in disconnected systems and rarely arrives in a form that is ready to use.

Engineers and analysts end up rebuilding the same KPIs, calculations, and events every time they need answers.

Two Ways We Help Manufacturers

Whether you're building the information infrastructure for tomorrow or solving operational challenges today, Flow Software provides the platform to help.

Explore the Timebase Platform

Your Free Time Series Historian
Knowledge Modeling
DataOps

‍Start with a free industrial historian that removes traditional licensing barriers. Then build on that foundation with Atlas, where you model how your manufacturing operation actually works by connecting assets, processes, people, materials, and systems into a shared understanding that people, applications, and AI can use.

Data Into Information

With your data sources unified, Flow is ready to turn raw data into contextualized information, putting it in the hands of the men and women that can drive change in your organization.

Create a Model

Build and manage an information model of the key metrics and events that matter to your organization. Govern both the data you care about as well as the engineering and expressions used to turn that data into actionalbe information.

Calculate and Transform

Deploy your model and watch as Flow's data engines go to work, continuously processing thousands of KPIs and events. All the results are stored in the Flow database and will automatically recalculate if any of the underlying data changes.

Distribute the Results

Stream this new information in real time, landing it in your data lake (now rich with context!) in front of your people, or send it to other applications and databases. Flow integrates with your other platforms ensuring your data is available.

Define How Data Is Processed Into Information

These three steps are necessities for turning manufacturing data into shared information. Each is included with every Flow license and is the secret to building analytics architectures that actually scale.

Sound familiar? They should. Flow is the first commercially available Unified Analtyics Framework and follows the best practices as outlined in a UAF.

Step One: Create an Information Model

Flow is ideal for building an information model of metrics to improve production efficiency, increase quality, drive maintenance decisions, measure utility or material consumption, understand downtime, and monitor adherence to production plans. Templatized Flow models are centrally managed, honoring enterprise-established business rules and providing governance, while remaining flexible. Operations deploy template instances and add their own site-specific context. Since Flow information models are not hard coded to specific data sources, each deployed instance is adaptable to the site’s environment, regardless of the system architecture.
‍

Step Two: Deploy Intelligent Execution Engines

Data Engine
Flow’s data engine excels at KPI calculations. It connects operational databases and servers to join data points from different systems, cleanse data, and slice it into context-rich KPIs. The engine handles the rerunning of calculations, versioning results, and allows for KPI interrogation, letting users drill down to examine raw data within the original source. Trust is essential, and with Flow, you can be confident that the information driving your operations is solid.

Message Engine
The message engine seamlessly integrates data into the organization's existing notification and communication tools, such as email, SMS, Microsoft Teams, and Slack. By delivering real-time notifications and updates through these familiar platforms, it ensures that stakeholders receive critical information in a timely and efficient manner, enhancing communication and responsiveness across the organization.

Integration Engine
The integration engine automates data streaming to various databases, data lakes, and BI tools, either on a triggered or scheduled basis. It matches the schema of target systems, facilitating seamless data integration, ensuring that all enterprise systems are synchronized with the latest information, and providing a unified, accurate data flow across the organization.
‍

Step Three: Provide Universal Information Access

With new calculations and KPIs created, Flow becomes your hub to share contextually rich information with other applications and people at your plants and within the entire enterprise. A corporate Flow instance connects your site deployments, and all underlying data sources, to your data teams and advanced applications. Flow unifies a myriad of operational database formats that can be queried without requiring knowledge of their structure and return results in a single standard schema. As more and more subject matter experts use Flow, their expertise further enriches the information before additional analysis or data warehousing is completed.

HOW FLOW WORKS

A UNS (Unified Namespace) Or A UAF (Unified Analytics Framework)?

Flow Software believes in a Unified Analytics Framework, but you might have read about a Manufacturing Data Hub as well. What is it? It's an architecture that is designed to take your Unified Namespace (UNS) and expand the collection and sharing of real time data to include calculated KPIs and access to historic databases.

Imagine what you could do if you had a scalable platform built specifically to transform OT and IoT data streams into analytics-ready information. A way to connect all of your data producers and consumers, already plugged into your UNS, to all of the raw historical data living in other databases. With Flow's Infohub in your architecture, this is possible today.
