Aveva incorporates TwinThread – accelerating Insight AI capabilities – delivering immediate value to its customers

The industrial automation process optimization landscape continues rapidly evolving, with new opportunities surfacing daily to delight customers… or lose them. And, with everyone scrambling for the same piece of the pie, time to market is critical, as is the need to differentiate from the competition.

Typically an industrial automation vendor has two choices when bringing solutions to market:

  • Build it
    • Pro - all desired functionality is included.
    • Con - lengthy time to market; sometimes difficult to scale.
  • Use a third party’s technology
    • Pro - rapid time to market; scalable.
    • Con - incomplete features/function set.

Like many industrial solution providers, AVEVA faced this conundrum, but chose a new path, electing to “leap ahead”- incorporating a “pre-built for purpose” platform from TwinThread into their Insight AI solution. TwinThread gives Aveva the best of both worlds: a platform that supports all of their desired feature set and expertise; rapid time to market and scale. Insight was delivered in months, and Aveva’s customers are achieving quantifiable value in weeks.
