Real-Time 24/7 Data Collection, Visualization & Monitoring.
Predictive Analytics for IT Infrastructure
Sightline EDM Predictive Analytics
Features:
Collect & Unify Real-Time Systems Data Within One Dashboard
Every second, EDM collects hundreds of metrics from sensors, monitors, equipment, labor, servers, apps, and network devices across the OT and IT of your facilities–down to the process or unit level.
Visualize Performance Across Your Environments & Facilities
Sightline integrates your whole ecosystem by swiftly aggregating, displaying, and analyzing time-series data to assist teams in understanding the past, present, and future of production infrastructure, all from a single dashboard.
View Top-Level Data With Availability of Drill-Down Details
Collect real-time data on hundreds of indicators across thousands of inputs, continuously monitoring and evaluating the full context of all historical data, and monitor the performance of the entire operations and production ecosystem.
Automated Detection of Anomalies
IoT Monitoring That Can Find Issues Before it Affects Production
Sightline EDM Anomaly Detection
Features:
Establish Historical Baselines & Configure Custom Alerts
Create threshold alerts and use AI, machine learning, and big data analytics to evaluate and trace previous activity and discover potential data outliers within the context of your specific parameters and alerts.
Detect Behavioral Anomalies & Visualize Data Spikes
With a visual “spike finder” to indicate unexpected data spikes across systems and facilities, the system uses early warning detection algorithms to identify possible bottleneck or technical issues before they become production disruptions.
Intelligently Weighing Anomalies & Their Potential Consequences
Examine reported anomalies against historical data, across facilities, and within production capacity to weigh severity and cause for worry using statistical confidence levels to evaluate for a potential critical production problem, all powered by our AI technology.
Root Cause Analysis That Can Start in Minutes, Saving You Time.
Reduce Downtime & Find Production Issues Faster
Sightline EDM Root Cause Analysis
Features:
Diagnose the Source of a Problem Within Minutes Across Systems
Sightline analyzes events across all facilities, operations, equipment, servers, applications, and databases with an advanced analytics engine to quickly identify root causes, related symptoms, and take corrective action to prevent operational impact by automating the root cause analysis process and using our advanced correlation engine.
Document Past Solutions & Notes to Reduce Downtime
With full documentation of service issues, including research notes and recommended solutions to past triggers or historical performance issues and fixes that can be shared across different teams and facilities without a siloed knowledge base, take faster corrective action to limit the impact and minimize the cost of recurring problems.
Intelligently Predict & Prevent Future Performance Issues
Past difficulties and their resolutions are documented in the system, which aids in learning and detecting similar data trends in order to predict and alert for operations and performance issues before they occur. EDM provides established remedies in the event of a reoccurring issue, even if it occurs at a new facility, to prevent recurring problems from requiring substantial time and money to remedy.
Automate Reports, Alerts, and Predictive Forecasting.
Capacity Planning for Increased Efficiency
Sightline EDM Capacity Planning
Features:
Design & Automate Custom Forecasting Reports & Alerts
Customize and deploy production forecasting reports or alerts that include data on labor availability, IT capabilities, equipment capacity, repairs, supplies, logistics, and storage, as well as capacity threshold limits across systems and facilities, highlighting which components are at risk of bottlenecking operations and the projected out-of-capacity date.
Analyze Capacity and Demand Trends to Benchmark Performance
EDMâ„¢ helps establish a baseline on production and operations across facilities, determine the amount of resources or capacity currently available, and generate resource requirement data for operations infrastructure planning to maintain or expand production levels at all times, and withstand potential spikes in demand, usage, or capacity by continuously collecting real-time data and visualizing historical trends.
Forecast Future System Requirements & Potential Issues
Sightline’s capacity planning reports help companies accurately predict whether existing operations facilities and resources can meet future growth based on past and current resource utilization, as well as predict infrastructure requirements and resource utilization weeks, months, and years ahead of time to accurately predict when and where resource capacity will run out across facilities.
End-to-End Security with SIAS®
To safeguard IT and OT, Sightline identifies and responds to hostile activities in real-time, using a “zero trust” strategy with endpoint device cloaking, cryptographic zoning, data encryption, and dynamic isolation.
SIASâ„¢ Security, Powered by Sightline & Unisys
ICS Cybersecurity Native to Your EDM Ecosystem:
Cloaking of All Endpoints & Sensitive Data
In order to hide and safeguard data in transit, all data components are encrypted during transmission. This prevents data from being abused across systems and facilities.
Dynamic Isolation of Potential Threats
Potential dangers and anomalies are contained through dynamic isolation, which prevents them from spreading until they have been thoroughly analyzed.
Cryptographic Zoning & Data Encryption
Micro-segmentation, also known as secure enclave, secures a network by splitting it down into smaller portions, down to the packet level, resulting in several closed user groups.
