GE Digital announced updates to Proficy Operations Hub, the company’s centralized environment for building industrial applications for web-based intelligence. Proficy Operations Hub 2022 helps to improve plant operations by further enabling the connected worker through access to aggregated, cross-systems Centralized and Remote Visualizationinformation that makes it easier to analyze and act upon independent of location.

Proficy Operations Hub allows both developers and non-developers to more quickly assemble displays through a comprehensive library of widgets and arrange them to provide more responsive operator and supervisor visualization. Companies can define data sources for connected devices and create queries to access and transform data into actionable information for operations. Drag-and-drop design helps to enable simpler placement and configuration of visualization components on the display, then dragging the query or data source onto the component to more quickly enable the data connections.

Designed as an OT business intelligence (BI) tool for industrial environments, Proficy Operations Hub is used in diverse industries, including water/wastewater treatment, automotive manufacturing, food and beverage processing, power and energy, and consumer goods.

New features in this latest update include increasing Rapid Application Development using cloud infrastructure with Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS), an expanded widget library for data display and analysis, and third-party systems integration enabled by OPC UA. The software also enhances OT BI with new visualization widgets for supervisory dashboards and a pivot grid for ad hoc multi-dimensional data analysis.

Proficy Operations Hub can further enhance a company’s MES, HMI/SCADA, and Historian applications with a data flow editor for creating runtime logic to transform data for visualization, creating a foundation for IoT-fueled analysis and optimization. A new multi-timeline widget also helps to enhance the display of event-based data, such as downtime and machine/equipment utilization. An improved operator experience for Life Sciences customers is also provided with a new customizable Proficy Batch Execution application for operators.
