INTELLIGENT BRANDS // Software for Business Teradata introduces IoT project accelerators T eradata, an analytics solutions company, has announced four powerful accelerators that speed up the transformation of Internet of Things (IoT) data to actionable insight. Teradata “Analytics of Things Accelerators” (AoTAs) are derived from field engagements with IoT companies in manufacturing, transportation, mining, energy and utilities. The accelerators are comprised of technology-agnostic intellectual property (IP) and professional services, applied approaches proven to reduce implementation cost and risk, accelerate time to value, and drive business returns far greater than the initial investments. Teradata AoTAs help organisations determine what sensor data to trust and keep, while choosing types 72 INTELLIGENTCIO and combinations of analytical techniques to best address specific business questions. The accelerators help organisations move from costly experimental projects to enterpriseclass solutions scaling across connected devices and assets that result in positive business impact. Specifically, the new Teradata AoTAs include: 1) Condition-Based Maintenance Accelerator, w hich continuously monitors and analyses asset data from remote devices or equipment at scale to increase availability, improve safety, and reduce costs; 2) Manufacturing Performance Optimisation Accelerator, which identifies complex production problems across equipment performance and availability for quick corrective action; 3) Sensor Data Qualification Accelerator, which automates recommendations on the optimal frequency of sensor readings based on relevant anomaly patterns; 4) Visual Anomaly Prospector Accelerator, which mines large amounts of multidimensional time series (MTS) data from remotely monitored equipment and devices, and visually helps an end user discover anomaly patterns that frequently precede a key event. “To improve Caterpillar’s customers’ total cost of ownership, we now have in place engine sensor feeds that show where and when remote engines need intervention, and we can predict failures across the fleet, which allows for forecasting replacement part inventory needs and recommending proactive maintenance tasks,” said www.intelligentcio.com
