Pick the right tool for the job.
Each engine has its own strengths. Some teams need familiar dashboards they can stand up in an afternoon, others need to dig in dynamically without building anything first, and some need bespoke visualisations that match how the operation actually looks.
Grafana
Familiar, easy to use and easy to deploy – open-source dashboards everyone already knows.
Data Explorer
Dynamic – easy to create new visualisations on the fly, without anyone needing to build a dashboard first.
Infographics
Complex to make, but extremely flexible – diverse layouts and live data, however you want to present it.
Familiar dashboards, ARDI-aware.
Grafana is an open-source, web-based dashboarding system that lets you build attractive, interactive displays. ARDI ships plugins so users can add ARDI data, events and alerts to dashboards using human-readable terms – no need for technical knowledge of the underlying data sources.
Add ARDI data
Plug ARDI into Grafana with the bundled data source plugin and human-readable lookups.
Compose dashboards
Combine Grafana panels with ARDI events and alerts – no source-system knowledge required.
Roll out to teams
Use the same dashboard layout across multiple sites or assets thanks to ARDI’s shared model.
Live everywhere
Mount on a control room screen, embed in a portal, or open on a tablet – same display, fresh data.
Investigate without building dashboards first.
When a question doesn’t fit the dashboard you have, Data Explorer dynamically generates visualisations from your ARDI configuration. Infographics goes the other way – bespoke, free-form visualisations of live data, in whatever shape fits.
Zoom & compare
Users zoom, compare and analyse data points in Data Explorer without anyone needing to build a new dashboard first.
Free-form layouts
Where Grafana combines pre-made widgets, Infographics gives you greater flexibility – diverse layouts and live data however you want.
Right tool, right job
Mix and match: Grafana for everyday operations, Data Explorer for ad-hoc dives, Infographics for the bespoke views your team really wants.
