Why do you need kSense

IT PROVIDES

The world is driven by events and companies are compelled to react without delay, whether real-time intelligence is available or not. When results are needed immediately, users and regular management systems simply lack the time to develop a new model and produce an efficient behavior scenario. This is where pre-defined and exact analytical models are essential. These models come with tools that extract intelligence from the past and analyze data from the present. The kSense platform is exactly this kind of tool. It's a combination of flexible and adaptive math models, powerful statistical models and an easy-to-use expert system.

Why do you need kSense

THE PLATFORM CAN

• Build adaptive and updatable facility models.
• Make automated urgent decisions.
• Make decisions with longer cycles (tens of minutes or hours) by issuing direct commands or giving recommendations to personnel.
• Make efficient decisions and avoid potentially negative outcomes by identifying trends.
• Replicate best management practices in similar situations.
• Use continuous processing logic for data sets in addition to control systems such as SCADA, BMS, MES and telematic services, for more efficient shared use of existing resources and equipment.

Why is kSense a relevant tool?

Today’s geographically distributed production operations, trading and warehousing facilities, city-owned equipment, medical centers, energy equipment, trucks and heavy-lift ships operate in an extremely complex way that makes it difficult to perform a quick and accurate analysis of the processes involved. Meanwhile, an error in the assessment may only aggravate the existing situation or even lead to an accident.

This is why it is of absolute necessity to empower businesses with real-time monitoring. It will not only add value to their existing production facilities and help insurance and servicing companies predict risks, but also maximize the performance of existing resources and equipment, improve sustainability and identify potential hazards and negative trends.

System components

kHub
This component can communicate withany of the observed facility’s systems. It uses local intelligence, collects data and works with the platform’s cloud.

To obtain accurate data, you need to be as close as possible to the surveillance object. Located on-site, kHUB easily addresses this issue. It interacts directly with the automation systems, captures data from independent transducers and shares data and local control laws with the platform’s analytical cloud core. In addition, kHUB ensures safe data and command exchange with the facility’s systems and the cloud, as well as independent system maintenance.

kFace
The UI and the means of interaction with the facility’sbusiness applications.

kFace is the platform's interface with the user and various business systems (ITSM, monitoring systems, dashboards, ERP, SCADA, BMS, etc.). It is designed to create descriptions of facilities and of the data circulating within their systems. The interface and the pre-grouped and processed information can be displayed in a web browser thanks to cross-platform delivery. Other communication channels can be used as well, such as e-mail, push-notifications, etc.

kBrain
The platform’s “brain center” uses powerful embedded analytics tools and forms efficientdata and system management mechanisms.

kBrain is the platform's main functional element. Leveraging a posteriori modeling, it can perform in-depth data analysis, create the facility’s exact adaptive model and develop an optimal control system to distribute it across the kHUB elements and to achieve the user’s goals. kBrain can also identify hidden connections between the facility’s systems and develop recommendations for the staff on how to act in various situations, including extreme ones.
