The 4 Most Common Mistakes in Data Analytics Projects

Data analytics projects at energy companies seem to be never-ending. Many projects take much longer than anticipated, while others are marked a complete failure either in completion or at delivering the results anticipated. Data analytics projects start with great intentions—usually with the hopes of reducing asset downtime. And there are indeed great gains that can be made by improving your.

[Whitepaper] Launching a Successful Analytics Project

Many analytics projects stall or fail because of avoidable missteps. Engineers go into a project thinking their data is high quality and ready for analysis when it is anything but. Or they think that data analysis is all that is needed, when the operational process for action on that data is just as important. The right approach to analytics improvement requires a problem solving attitude and.

What Does It Mean To Go ‘Beyond Monitoring?'

Our product was created to actualize the need we heard again and again: "I know there is a better way to get things done." Across the industry, we meet with engineers who feel bogged down by alerts, countless systems, exponentially increasing operations, and a decreasing workforce. They need a way to go beyond traditional monitoring - to get more visibility, automate more action, and get time.

How Asset Management Changed for RWE After Implementing NarrativeWave

The day-to-day experience for renewable energy asset managers and engineers is often frenetic and stressful. Every day these individuals are doing their best to wade through the potential wind farm issues— it is a daily fire drill where asset managers never feel they truly have a handle on asset management, but are instead purely reactive.
