Optimistik
Optimising Production Using Data Collection and Analysis

Data is crucial for all business processes as it facilitates optimising, troubleshooting, and improving the production process. The plant should be data-driven to achieve total production value, and the data from this must be made available to the entire organisation.

Optimistik is a software provider, offering its clients numerous solutions to simplify the use of plant data for better industrial performance. The firm is focused on assisting organisations in the manufacturing sector to overcome three primary obstacles:
• Data collection
• Contextualising data for specific business needs
• Adoption of data-driven approaches

Optimistik treats data like a tool for all, used in daily operations rather than considering it as a matter of the experts. The firm believes that data can help solve numerous challenges organisations face across all sectors.

We offer our clients an operational intelligence solution with fast implementation and widespread adoption.

Optimistik offers clients multiple configurable business applications to ensure easy and prompt data collection and usage. One such solution is the Plant BI dashboard, a visualisation tool that supports field monitoring, performance management, realtime report sharing, and risk analysis. The combination of plant BI and contextualisation engine allows businesses to perform conditional and predictive maintenance.

Optimistik’s tools also assist clients in improving overall equipment efficiency, simplifying the six sigma approaches, and better understanding the process behaviour.

Increasing asset reliability and availability has helped the firm to further support maintenance. The firm collects data from the process as well as from operator inspections.

OIBus and OIAnalytics are Optimistik’s two high-end solutions to support industrials to democratise data. OIBus is an open-source, lightweight, scalable, and flexible software for companies across industries, to simplify data collection and recovery. Using OIBus, organisations can collect data from various resources like industrial and business information systems, IoT sensors and platforms, and databases, and transmit the information to any target applications.

OIAnalytics, Optimistik’s main product, is a solution designed to simplify the use of data with the help of an in-built contextualisation engine and business applications. The platform helps organisations effectively use data-driven approaches to improve their business processes. It allows companies to structure and store multiple kinds of data like time-series, production data, traceability, genealogy, events and more, allowing them to build a common repository. This can be achieved through an adaptable environment for open-source solutions, predefined data models, and an optimised data architecture that is fully configurable to the client’s business.

For instance, in the pharmaceutical industry, having access to the full traceability and detailed process history of a production batch is key for quality and process improvement but often requires tedious work. OIAnalytics simplifies this and gives the required synthetic or detailed information in one click. Thus, simplifying the daily of many operational experts.

“We offer our clients an operational intelligence solution with fast implementation and widespread adoption,” states Mathieu Cura, CEO of Optimistik.

Besides pharmaceuticals, Optimistik has clients in sectors such as food and beverage, chemical, energy, biotech, and more. The firm offers a predefined solution that enables users to combine data to generate insightful information that will optimise the production process.

Optimistik’s focus on three pillars, user experience first, data with context, and industrial vertical solution, has helped the firm to scale its business across numerous industries. The company’s rapid growth results from its vision to simplify manufacturing data, to empower the operational team to increase efficiency and performance.
