01 – KPI Rilheva – Introduction

The challenge of BigData lies in being able to minimize large amounts of data into a few ones, together with significant and immediate indicators. The KPI tool allows you to run all possible mathematical formulas to find the indicator that best expresses your process.

The calculation can be done using the variables of any plant present among those of the customer.

Thanks to Rilheva KPIs you can

  • Optimize your processes, i.e. obtain better results, and with lower costs than the current ones
  • Increase efficiency and performance (improve results with the same current costs)
  • Access new sources of revenue by creating new business models
  • Increase your customer loyalty

The KPIs are based on the T-SQL language and are of 2 types:

  • Live: formulas based on the last values read from the field
  • Periodic: formulas based on calculations from past periods

Note:  in the Rilheva Platform website, you may encounter the “Virtual Signals” feature, which is actually referring to KPIs. So Virtual Signal is an alias for KPI, in Rilheva.

Virtual signals can only be added within virtual peripherals.

Virtual peripherals are available both for real plants (maximum 1 only) and for virtual plants (up to 250).

The real plants are those that receive data from the field and can be of various nature (MQTT, Modbus, OPC-UA, API, FTP, etc.)

In summary you can have:

  • Real plant → virtual peripheral (maximum 1) → virtual signals
  • Virtual plant → virtual peripheral (maximum 250) → virtual signals
