ARDI Analytics
DEPRECATION WARNING: ARDI Analytics is no longer being actively developed. More powerful analytics are now possible using Visual Analytics, the Agency platform, and the Trigger Python module.
The ARDI analytic package allows you to deploy simple analytics based on live data.
It is designed to allow our customers to create up-to-the-minute visualisations, KPIs and data summaries for use in other applications - such as Grafana - or to re-circulate back to ARDI for display and further use.
The primary use-case for analytics is to cache data - to provide summaries or calculations that would otherwise be extremely expensive to load over long periods of time.
The best example of this is heat-mapping. While creating heat-maps of short periods of time is relatively simple, producing heat-maps for larger periods (ie > 24 hours) can require a significant amount of time and can be taxing for your historian.
By pre-calculating regular heat-map chunks and recording them to a database, you can quickly and easily load months of heat-map data at a time for display, reporting or analysis.
