Figures as reported by MEXT Technology Center for this deployment
The challenge
Continuous, reliable data from very different sources.
Machines, data centre infrastructure and energy analysers all had to report into one place, a problem MEXT saw repeatedly across industrial digital transformation projects.
-
Multi-protocol complexity
Systems working with different protocols had to operate together, which required a flexible and integrated platform rather than a driver per machine.
-
Scalability requirements
Data volume was increasing, so the data management platform had to grow with it instead of being rebuilt.
-
Data pipeline health
Monitoring the health of data lines and managing different sources from a single platform was essential.
-
Analytics readiness
Collected data had to arrive in a state that advanced analytics could actually use.
The deployment
One platform, from energy analysers to data centre infrastructure.
-
Into production
As MEXT reports it, installation and configuration took a short time, and the platform went into production soon after.
-
Custom integrations
Where a system needed its own integration, MEXT’s team built it from the provided examples and tooling.
-
Data management and performance
The time-series store made fast querying and analysis possible over large volumes of data.
-
Security and authorisation
Role-based access control allowed secure, least-privilege access in a multi-stakeholder environment.
-
Monitoring and operational continuity
Advanced log viewing and monitoring let the health of data flows be watched in real time, so issues surface proactively.
-
Support and collaboration
Close collaboration with the development team helped position the solution for real industrial use scenarios.
In their words
“Through Proxus's wide protocol support, different data sources were integrated quickly and without friction under a single structure. The high performance provided by the time-series database noticeably accelerated analysis processes on large volumes of data. Thanks to the advanced logging and monitoring capabilities, the health of data flows can be continuously monitored; with its modular and flexible architecture, different data pipelines can be easily designed for data visualisation and advanced analytics projects.”
Value delivered
Proxus is positioned as one of the important building blocks of the digital transformation solutions offered within the MEXT Digital Factory, with data pipelines that can be designed for different sectors and use scenarios.
