SYSTEM AND METHOD SUPPORTING EXPLORATORY ANALYTICS FOR KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR (KPI) ANALYSIS IN INDUSTRIAL PROCESS CONTROL AND AUTOMATION SYSTEMS OR OTHER SYSTEMS

摘要

A method includes receiving information associated with industrial equipment from multiple data sources. The information includes different types of information related to the industrial equipment and is received from at least two different types of data sources. The method also includes executing exploratory analysis routines using at least some of the received information and generating one or more displays identifying results of the exploratory analysis routines. At least one of the exploratory analysis routines uses key performance indicator (KPI) data associated with the industrial equipment. At least one of the exploratory analysis routines includes logic defined by at least one user associated with the industrial equipment and uses data that is retrieved based on input from the at least one user.
