From streamlining workflows to real-time monitoring and control, to improving remote collaboration, and maximizing the end-to-end lifecycle performance of industrials assets, CONNECT addresses the industry’s digital transformation needs” Herzberg added.
Enabling a custom industrial ecosystem
CONNECT enables industrial enterprises to make the most of their technology investment in the cloud by combining remote assets, applications from AVEVA, and 3rd-party data sources into one single, secure platform, creating a unique industrial ecosystem calibrated for game-changing innovation.
According to IDC’s 2023 Future of Industry Ecosystems global survey, the vast majority (90%) of 1288 industrial C-suite and business leaders said they planned to maintain or accelerate their investment in their unique data ecosystems. IDC’s survey spanned decision-makers across energy, construction, process manufacturing, government and other industries around the world.
How CONNECT unlocks new industry paradigms
ZGlobal, a California-based consulting firm, closed the gap between insight and emissions reduction using CONNECT’s cloud-based data-sharing solutions to consult and contextualize in real time insights from across their solar power ecosystem. Tangible outcomes include enhanced transparency for both companies and their partners, thousands of dollars saved, and thousands of metric tons of carbon emissions avoided—all while enabling the clean energy transition.
CONNECT, is already used by tens of thousands of active users each month. Featured products within CONNECT’s near-limitless boundaries include AVEVA PI System, AVEVA Operations Control, AVEVA Unified Engineering, AVEVA Advanced Analytics, AVEVA Asset Information Management , RIB CostX, and more.
The CONNECT ecosystem is growing to include new and exciting partnerships that will form the basis of a new industrial applications marketplace.
For example, AVEVA and Microsoft unify and contextualize production execution data and supply chain production planning data in Microsoft Fabric, using AVEVA’s industrial intelligence platform, CONNECT, and Microsoft Cloud for Manufacturing.
Matt Kerner, CVP Microsoft Cloud said: “CONNECT bridges the gap between operational technology and information technology. CONNECT seamlessly integrates data, enables real-time monitoring, leverages predictive analytics, and ensures cloud scalability. This solution empowers our customers to optimize processes, enhance quality, and drive efficiency.”
