Analytics and Reporting with zenon

Most energy utilities and manufacturers have an abundance of operational data available for them to analyze — however, such high volumes of data present challenges when it comes to analytics and reporting. In order to comply with regulations and make timely and informed decisions, you need data that’s accurate, up to date and easily accessible. This is also important if you intend to evaluate performance based on key performance indicators (KPIs).

 

Whether you’re conducting data analytics using real-time or stored data, you need the right software to solve these challenges. Learn how zenon from COPA-DATA could improve your data analytics below.

 

 

What’s wrong with data and analytics?

In the past, manufacturing and energy companies used a hybrid approach to data analytics, combining traditional paper tracking with computer processing. This complicated method no longer meets industry requirements for speed, accuracy, traceability and compliance with regulations. Indeed, paper tracking can lead to inaccurate data, delayed data entry and difficulty retrieving and using stored information.

 

Even if your organization isn’t using pen and paper to record vital data, you may still face challenges with data and analytics. Many companies have a lot of data with no way to turn it into actionable insights. The problem is compounded when you need to combine multiple types of data from across your facility. Without tools to evaluate data and generate accurate reports, all that valuable information sits untapped.
