Bridging Process Diagrams, Engineering Insights, and Operator Action
Operators run your plant. Engineers optimize it. But too often, they work in separate systems. But when insights stay siloed, performance suffers. Operators, who make up 50–70% of the industrial workforce, depend on visual process diagrams and real-time intuition to make fast decisions. Engineers use platforms like Seeq to detect patterns, model behavior, and define KPIs. Studies show that over 40% of preventable disruptions stem from operator error—often due to a lack of visibility into engineering insights.
IOTA + Seeq close this gap.
By linking operator-friendly displays with advanced analytics, they turn your process diagrams into shared decision spaces. Everyone works from the same context. Performance improves.
From Analysis to Action: 4 Ways IOTA + Seeq Work Together:
1. Visual-to-Analytics Handoff: Jump from process diagrams in IOTA to Seeq Workbench
Operators and engineers can work from the same IOTA screen—just like an HMI. An operator might say, “check that second pump near the feed line,” and with one click, the engineer opens the Seeq Workbench directly from that point on the process diagram. From there, they can analyze trends, define KPIs, or isolate key events—all with full operational context.
2. Bring Calculated Insights Back into Operational Context
Once engineering insights are created in Seeq, they don’t stay siloed. IOTA enables visualization of Seeq-derived metrics—such as forecasts, projections, or health indicators—right on the original process diagram. This brings analytics into the operator’s natural interface, enabling smarter and faster decision-making.
3. Consolidate Insights into Executive Reporting
Seeq Organizer topics can now embed IOTA dashboards and process graphics alongside analytical commentary, creating rich, visually-grounded reports for Monday morning operations meetings or management briefings.
4. Embed Seeq Workbench and Seeq AI Directly in IOTA
For deep-dive analysis without leaving the visual workspace, Seeq Workbench and Seeq’s AI assistant can be embedded directly into IOTA dashboards via iframes. Engineers and advanced users can explore capsules, models, or ask AI questions—all within the same visual context used by operations.
Secure, Scalable Architecture
This integration is built on a secure, modern architecture:
- Native integration with Seeq Cortex, Workbench, and Organizer
- Support for both on-premise and cloud data sources to connect to systems that important for both Operators and Engineers
- Identity provider integration for secure, role-based access
- Implementation, training, and at least two configured dashboards
- Browser-based, zero-install, scalable future-proof IOTA Vue front end
