It helps to:<br>detect process variations and bottlenecks.<br>Simulate and optimise operating conditions (\u201cwhat-if\u201d scenarios) to increase efficiency and quality.<br>via real-time monitoring detect anomalies and send warnings or recommendations.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779978163135\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What modules or features are available in the product?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The core features include:<br>Data collection, validation and cleaning (\u201cconnect &amp; clean\u201d).<br>Modeling and analysis (analysis, ML models, simulation).<br>Real-time monitoring and prediction (monitor, predict).<br>Optimisation and control of setpoint (optimise, closed-loop validation).<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779978178376\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can Proficy CSense be connected to existing systems? What data sources are supported?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">es, Proficy CSense is designed to work with historical data, real-time data, SCADA\/MES systems, and more. For example:<br>Support for databases such as SQL, data archives (\u201chistorians\u201d), OPC interfaces, text\/CSV files.<br>Open integration: REST, ODBC, etc. standards are usually mentioned in similar analysis tools. This allows existing infrastructure to be utilised and CSense to \u201csit on top\u201d without the need to replace the entire system.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779978191029\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What must be in place before you can really benefit from CSense?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Some important prerequisites:<br>Access to\u00a0<strong>qualitative data<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<em>garbage in = garbage out<\/em>\u00a0.<br>CSense assumes that sensor data, historical data is good enough.<br>Clear goals and KPIs \u2013 what do you want to achieve (quality, throughput, energy savings, etc.).<br>Commitment and process understanding from process engineers, the tool will be most effective if users can interpret and act on insights.<br>Infrastructure to connect data (SCADA, MES, history) to Proficy CSense.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779978205879\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What have users achieved with Proficy CSense?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Users have achieved the following:<br>Reduced variability in production, higher stability.<br>Increased throughput, better quality, less waste and lower costs.<br>Improved process control, faster troubleshooting and the possibility of predictive maintenance.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779978219197\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What license model is applicable and is there a free or trial version?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">There is a \u201cStarter Runtime Edition\u201d that is offered as a free AI add-on for some SCADA systems (e.g. Proficy iFIX \/ Proficy CIMPLICITY).<br><br>You can also try the product for free for 30 days.\u00a0<br><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gevernova.com\/software\/product-trials\/proficy-csense\">Click here<\/a><\/strong><\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779978241993\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What should you pay attention to or what problems can arise?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Some common challenges that are often mentioned:<br>Data is in different formats, of varying quality, or exists in silos. This requires work on data cleansing and standardisation.<br>Organisational and process change, moving from reactive operations to data-driven or predictive operations requires cultural change.<br>Competence. Although Proficy CSense has drag-and-drop and simplified interfaces, users are required to understand processes, statistics\/ML, and how models should be interpreted and implemented.<br>Infrastructure such as having the right tools, networks, integration, real-time data flows.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container-md spacer  \">\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
