  • Single pane of glass visualises the analysed data and results on one screen, which is critical to improve the user’s productivity as searching and calculating data can occupy 70% of their time.
  • Analytics tooling processes data in real-time or near-real-time, then augments it with smart alerts, basic and advanced analytics, simulation tools, and AI/ML data science to facilitate decision making.
  • Alerts management and framework provides early warnings of production anomalies in near real-time.
  • Native integration with KBC’s simulation software solutions - Petro-SIM®, Maximus®, Multiflash®, and Visual MESA® - for scalability and simplifying complex solutions.
