Typical Intelligence Hub solutions:
The following represents a spectrum of many possible solutions for the Intelligence Hub.
- Descriptive Analytics: Merge real-time process data with context from systems of record, create a standard data payload, and publish the payload to BI or dashboard solution for visualization
- Diagnostic Analytics: When an event occurs, obtain data from disparate sources, merge the data, transform the data, create standard data payloads, and publish the data to a data lake for full visibility and traceability
- Predictive Analytics: Merge and buffer high resolution data with context, apply models to create consistent formats, and compress data at the edge to CSV, JSON or Apache Parquet files to deliver standardized data payloads to the cloud for ML services.
Characteristics of a good fit for Intelligence Hub use case:
