How Connect unlocks new industry paradigms
ZGlobal, a California-based consulting firm, closed the gap between insight and emissions reduction using Connect's cloud-based data-sharing solutions to consult and contextualise in real time insights from across their solar power ecosystem. Tangible outcomes include enhanced transparency for both companies and their partners, thousands of dollars saved, and thousands of metric tons of carbon emissions avoided—all while enabling the clean energy transition.
Connect, is already used by tens of thousands of active users each month. Featured products within Connect's near-limitless boundaries include Aveva PI System, Aveva Operations Control, Aveva Unified Engineering, Aveva Advanced Analytics, Aveva Asset Information Management , RIB CostX, and more.
The Connect ecosystem is growing to include new and exciting partnerships that will form the basis of a new industrial applications marketplace.
For example, Aveva and Microsoft unify and contextualise production execution data and supply chain production planning data in Microsoft Fabric, using Aveva's industrial intelligence platform, Connect, and Microsoft Cloud for Manufacturing.
Microsoft Cloud CVP Matt Kerner said, "Connect bridges the gap between operational technology and information technology. Connect seamlessly integrates data, enables real-time monitoring, leverages predictive analytics, and ensures cloud scalability.
