GE Intelligent Platforms has announced the availability of its latest Proficy® Accelerator solution, Proficy Accelerator for Advanced Analytics. The solution layers on top of existing systems, helping to identify process inefficiencies using historical data to create real-time models driving process improvements. Proficy Accelerator for Advanced Analytics is a completely scalable solution that allows customers to quickly see the value hidden in their data to improve their processes and reduce cost.

“In today’s world, companies are looking for ways to cut costs as they navigate through a brutal worldwide recession,” said John Leppiaho, Operations Management Infrastructure Solutions Leader, GE Intelligent Platforms. “Unfortunately, organizations are swimming in a sea of data created by the complexity of many operations, often across facilities. They can make improvements based on the most readily apparent relationships between data - but lack the ability to mine complex correlations and find the hidden opportunities for significant improvements."

The mining of the complexity of the data enables companies to realize significant benefits to their operation including: increased throughput, improved quality, decreased resource usage, increased efficiency and maximized uptime – all translating to bottom line benefits.”
