Creating 4D Calculated Indicators

Contents
APM incorporates functionality from AssetWise 4D Analytics to process large datasets, like the readings that come from Industrial Internet of Things devices: interconnected sensors, instruments, and other devices throughout the plant. 4D Analytics makes it possible to ingest and process large volumes of indicator readings in a small amount of time. Although the raw data is stored in a time series database (InfluxDB®), only readings that cross alarm state boundaries are sent to the APM database.
The APM Calculation engine reviews calculated indicators and, based on new input values, determines which need to be recalculated. The readings and calculation results are displayed in 4D charts and comparative analyses in APM for your review.
 
The topics in this section provide an overview of 4D indicators, explain how to set up APM to use 4D components, create 4D indicators and calculations, and view data.
