The potential of operational data to improve business processes, reduce waste and facilitate digital business models is enormous and – still – largely untapped, but can only be achieved through an integrated and coherent strategy from the source of the data to the dashboard or predictive model.
That’s why the Optimate Services and Solutions approach is built on four practices that hold the core of our capabilities. From the core of process control and device-generated data, via data integration and acquisition in historian solution, contextualisation and data quality management, to sensible visualisation and advanced modelling that drives better decisions.
But it’s not only what we do, but also how we do it. Driven by our core values of Accountability, Collaboration, Trust and Transparency, our approach is consultative, honest and result-focussed. We understand no one solution will be the same for every client, and circumstances change. The foundation we build with you today will enable a long-term solution for your every data need now and in the future. We welcome you to come on this journey with us and letting us showcase to you how our Capabilities will best serve you.
OPERATIONAL DATA VALUE CHAIN
SERVICES & SOLUTIONS
Optimate are Operational Data Integrators. From sensor to insight and from control room to board room, Optimate helps customers unlock the true value of operational, real-time data.
FROM PHYSICAL TO DIGITAL
PROCESS CONTROL & IOT
Optimate provides quality solutions for process control and data acquisition within industrial plants using PLC and SCADA/HMI technologies. Our customised solutions utilise our extensive experience with CitectSCADA, Ignition SCADA, ClearSCADA, Wonderware and Siemens HMI/SCADA and PLC packages as well as ABB, Rockwell FactoryTalk and Schneider PLCs and RTUs.
Combined with sensor data through loT solutions, unprecedented opportunities are created to streamline production, utilisation and maintenance processes. We bridge the gap between Operational and loT Technologies using applications to create and maintain data integrity so that knowledge and understanding of plant is available within the corporate environments.
As a recognised partner of leading cyber-security solutions for Operational Technologies (OT), Optimate focus specifically in the area of cyber-security in OT environments. Optimate protects critical infrastructure such as power and water utility services from the exponential rise of cyber-attacks.
FROM OPERATIONS TO BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY
INTEGRATION & STORAGE
The Integration and Storage Practice combines pragmatic OT and IT architecture with extensive experience with all common historian platforms, to provide a reliable record and analysis base of all data generated over the life of the asset or device.
Optimate’s extensive experience with global systems comprising of millions of tags to cost-efficient single-site solutions demonstrates we can provide fit for purpose solutions using best of breed architecture. We maintain good collaboration with all major historians’ Manufacturers like OSIsoft, Schneider and Honeywell while remaining out technology-agnostic position. In contrast to software resellers, our loyalty lies entirely with our customers.
In addition to the data acquisition and storage capability, Optimate provides out of the box add ons to measure and improve system and data health, as well as user and usage patterns to support low maintenance and optimal adoption in the organisation.
FROM PRODUCER TO CONSUMER
CONTEXT & QUALITY
Through our consulting process and implementation of data genealogy, change detection and integrated master data management, we help our clients secure actionable information they can trust, and fast.
When integrity, confidence and context of data is high it is exponentially more valuable. The physical world and business environments change constantly, and those changes need to be reflected in the digital representation in a consistent manner to provide reliable, accurate and trustworthy information.
Optimate’s experience with large and smaller scale Plant Information Management Systems implementations, helps our customers to maintain their multiple stakeholder focussed view(s) of their data. Any change in sources in the physical world or in the master data references initiates a validation and update process providing accurate, in context and up to date information.
FROM DATA TO INSIGHT
INFORMATION & INSIGHT
The objective of gathering, storing and enriching data is to help people make better decisions. The data analytics and visualisation capability of Optimate helps to drive benefits by showing the right information, at the right time and in the right context.
Using state of the art technology and frameworks like PiVision, PowerBI, R and Python in an agile and user-driven development process, our consultants integrate insight into the operational process where it provides value.
Our experience with clients ranges from production reporting to decision automation, and from wall-to-wall Operations Centre screens to highly customised mobile displays.
