Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for providing insight providers, each including a logic component and a configuration component, each logic component including a respective domain-specific model, and each configuration component including parameter values for processing data using the respective domain-specific model, receiving a set of assets including data indicative of one or more assets, retrieving asset data associated with the set of assets, the asset data including OT data and IT data, the OT data being provided from networked devices, the IT data being provided from one or more enterprise systems, processing the OT data and the IT data using respective domain-specific models of the logic components of the insight providers to provide a result set, the result set including one or more of a second set of assets and enriched data, and transmitting graphical representations for display in GUI that are respectively specific to an insight provider.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for providing a data analytics system, the method being executed by one or more processors and comprising:

processing, by the one or more processors, the OT data and the IT data using respective domain-specific models of the logic components of the insight providers to provide a first result set, the first result set comprising one or more of a second set of assets and enriched data; and

transmitting, by the one or more processors, one or more graphical representations for display in a plurality of graphical user interface (GUIs) that are respectively specific to an insight provider of the plurality of insight providers, each the one or more graphical representations being at least partially based on one or more of the first result set and the second set of assets, and being provided from visualization components of the respective insight providers.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving user input provided through a first GUI of the plurality of GUIs, the user input indicating a sub-set of assets selected by the user;

processing, by a first insight provider associated with the first GUI, asset data associated with the sub-set of assets to provide input to a second insight provider; and

transmitting one or more revised graphical representations to the first GUI and a second GUI associated with the second insight provider, each of the one or more revised graphical representations being based on one or more of the sub-set of assets, and the input to the second insight provider.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the second insight provider executes in a data enrichment mode to provide enriched data, at least one graphical representation comprising the enriched data.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the first insight provider executes in a filter mode, and the input comprises at least one asset of the sub-set of assets.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein at least two insight providers of the plurality of insight providers are configured into an insight provider pipeline.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the data indicative of one or more assets at least partially comprises identifiers respectively assigned to the one or more assets, and retrieving asset data comprises querying one or more data stores based on the identifiers.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein a domain comprises predictive maintenance of physical assets, and each domain-specific model is associated with a respective aspect of the predictive maintenance.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for providing a data analytics system, the operations comprising:

providing a plurality of insight providers, each insight provider comprising a logic component and a configuration component, each logic component comprising a respective domain-specific model, and each configuration component comprising one or more parameter values for processing data using the respective domain-specific model;

receiving a first set of assets comprising data indicative of one or more assets;

retrieving asset data associated with at least one asset of the first set of assets, the asset data comprising operational technology (OT) data and information technology (IT) data, the OT data being provided from one or more networked devices, the IT data being provided from one or more enterprise systems;

processing the OT data and the IT data using respective domain-specific models of the logic components of the insight providers to provide a first result set, the first result set comprising one or more of a second set of assets and enriched data; and

transmitting one or more graphical representations for display in a plurality of graphical user interface (GUIs) that are respectively specific to an insight provider of the plurality of insight providers, each the one or more graphical representations being at least partially based on one or more of the first result set and the second set of assets, and being provided from visualization components of the respective insight providers.

9. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein operations further comprise:

receiving user input provided through a first GUI of the plurality of GUIs, the user input indicating a sub-set of assets selected by the user;

processing, by a first insight provider associated with the first GUI, asset data associated with the sub-set of assets to provide input to a second insight provider; and

transmitting one or more revised graphical representations to the first GUI and a second GUI associated with the second insight provider, each of the one or more revised graphical representations being based on one or more of the sub-set of assets, and the input to the second insight provider.

10. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 9, wherein the second insight provider executes in a data enrichment mode to provide enriched data, at least one graphical representation comprising the enriched data.
