Industrial data and asset performance, explained.

Reference guides to the concepts this platform is built on. Written for engineers and operations teams who have to make decisions about equipment data, not for a search engine. Each guide answers one question end to end and links to the ones beside it, so you can start anywhere.

Fundamentals

What the field is, what it is trying to achieve, and the ideas the rest of the section builds on.

Industrial data operations

Industrial DataOps, or industrial data operations: what breaks when tag names, clocks and KPI definitions differ per site, and what a pipeline does about it.

Asset performance management for renewable fleets

What asset performance management assumes, where those assumptions break on a renewable fleet, and what changes when the KPI system is drafted for you.

Agentic AI in industrial operations

A working definition of agentic AI in industrial operations: what separates an agent from a scheduled job, a chatbot, or an alert rule, and where approval sits.

Read the guide

Industrial digital twin

Three things are called an industrial digital twin: a visual twin, a simulation twin, and an operational data twin. What each is for, and what each costs.

Read the guide

Deep dives

The mechanisms underneath: how readings survive a lost link, how a fleet is stored and queried, and how the numbers a fleet is judged by get defined.

Industrial data fabric

What an industrial data fabric is, and how it genuinely differs from a data lake and a plant historian: what each is good at, and when each is the wrong answer.

Read the guide

Store and forward at the edge

How store and forward buffering works at an industrial site: a two-lane local buffer, when it switches lanes, what order data returns in, and what it loses.

Read the guide

Defining renewable energy KPIs that survive real data

How to define renewable energy KPIs that survive real data: partial inputs, completeness grades, capacity factor, performance ratio and round-trip efficiency.

Read the guide

Renewable energy asset management

How a mixed portfolio of wind, solar and battery storage is managed as one operation, and what three asset classes ask of the data layer underneath.

58 definitions covering the vocabulary these guides use, from protocols and edge buffering to KPIs and digital twins. Every one links up to the guide that covers it in depth.

Glossary

Industrial data and asset performance glossary

Plain definitions, written to teach rather than to sell. Where a term means something specific here, the entry says so. Where the industry disagrees, it says that too.
