Its solutions integrate AI technology wand machine-learning capabilities , enabling a constant state of self-optimisation through autonomous and semi-autonomous processes and giving users the agility to respond to changing conditions in real time for greater safety , profitability , and sustainability .
As Garner explains , the acquisition of AVEVA is one that helps provide an end-to-end view , enabling more efficient and sustainable operations .
“ That ’ s really where the AVEVA platform and the other platforms that we have really come into play ,” he says . “ A facility risk manager is very interested in the facility data , the building management control , the electrical distribution reporting . You have an IT manager that wants to see the IT stack and the IT infrastructure . You have someone who ’ s working in security that is looking at the security stack .
“ But what you don ’ t regularly get is all those systems talking together and working in unison ,” Garner adds . “ And as you start to see companies and buildings start to work and become more integrated with IoT and the IT and OT integration of a building , these things start to converge . The systems we have aren ’ t always the best to bring them all together and give you a complete holistic view of what the world looks like , and this is where AVEVA really comes into play .
“ Now , we ’ re able to take that view , make it relevant for a facility ’ s manager or a CEO or a sustainability manager or maybe for communication externally , and do it all under a single pane of glass . Bringing all those layers of control and software systems and everything underneath it into one view allows you to drive efficiency and operate your business in a much better way .”
