Our focus is on everything that goes beyond classical dashboards or static planning reports. This addresses ad-hoc questions like (1) how does which planning option affect which infrastructure component or (2) what is the root cause of an alarm - or is it a false alarm? This solution is based on an innovative approach to bring both the various planning and measurement data as well as the explicit knowledge about the relationships inside the technical infrastructure, e. g. from a digital twin, together in one interactive analysis tool and, thus, enable the user to derive value from the wealth of information.
