Is it possible to add aggregation results in a context table? For example, I would like to have a table with all the cleaning registered in the last month with the resources consume such as water, chemicals, steam, etc. I can calculate the volume of these resources consumed with the integral aggregation, however I cannot add them in a context table. How can I add it. Column of water added for explanation proposes.  

I was sharing the Trendminer dashboard with my colleague, and he asked me a question about whether Trendminer can review the Dashboard and automatically generate a report. This explains any anomaly and some other critical aspects of the machine or system performance based on the dashboard data. Currently have the capabilities to use the trigger of a message or email, looking for reporting that highlights of the last 24 hours (or longer duration). 

When I have a value based search I can add the result of the events also to a context item (a calculated item).On the moment I create a monitor out of this, the events are created, but I can not map it to a context item. For more information see the attached document.

If you are using TrendMiner APIs to access context items (for example to pull them into PowerBI), it makes sense to set up a client user for this purpose. In fact, it is recommended to use a distinct client for every TrendMiner automation you set up. These clients can be configured by a system administrator in ConfigHub.  After setting up authentication via your new client id + secret, you may notice that you cannot access some context items. This is because they are attached to assets to which the client does not have any access rights. These asset permissions can be granted by an application administrator in ContextHub. There is an issue, however: the user search UI does not retrieve client users, and so there seems to be no way to grant permissions to our client user. Thankfully, such a limitation does not exist in the back end. Through a series of API calls, we can configure our client to have the required permissions. In this example I use the built-in API console (accessible by a

Hey, we are using conditional coloring of CH views a lot. Is there a way that we can deploy color coding rules by the SDK?We would like to apply the same rules on multiple values and manual configuration is quite time consuming and quite error prone. BestSören

Hi allIs there a way to quickly navigate to the formula editor out of the TrendMiner View Tag dependencies?How I do it now? I open the Tag-Builder, click on saved formulas, search for the formula and edit it.It would be helpful to be able to open the editor directly from the view. BR Peter

This page explains how to execute a TrendMiner upgrade using one the two scripts attached to this post. There are a few causes which can prevent an upgrade from getting started due to an incomplete upload:The upgrade file can reach a size of more then 10 GB which is fully loaded into the browser memory when upgrading through Edge manager. Some devices do not have enough RAM memory to completely load the file in memory. Some network devices can block the upload of large files through a browser. If the upload is taking a long time, it is possible you get logged out of Edge manager while the upload is in progress.The upgrade process will be structurally improved in version 2025.R4.0, but since the above issues can occur in all previous versions, this script was created.The alternative method to upgrade TrendMiner is explained below:Upgrading from a Windows device:Download the Windows_upgrade_script.zip file attached to this post. Unzip the file on the device from which you want to execute

Hey, do you have experience with control charts in TrendMiner? We are thinking to set up some control charts for our batch process. As example we would look at avg temeratures at a certain step of a batch: Would this be doable with MLHub? If yes, do you have example code you can share?This would be very helpful for us to test it shortly in TrendMiner. Best​​​​​​​Sören

Hi,This session shows how TrendMiner helps engineers at Bayer troubleshoot faster, understand process behaviors better, and make smarter decisions across the plant, all explained through real examples shared by Mazie Foret.One highlight was how TrendMiner helped solve a cooling difference that had confused the team for over 20 years.Bayer’s team also uses TrendMiner for other monitoring tasks like: Meter reliability Energy management Centrifuge overflow generation Emissions reporting A cool fact: One of these monitors was actually set up by Mazie’s intern, which shows how simple and user-friendly TrendMiner really is.Curious to learn more? Check out the full recording!  

I have data which is coming over as analog, but I need to treat this data as step data in calculations, trends, searches, etc.  Is there a good method to accomplish this, as I am unable to change the data type from the historian? 

Hi everyone,In this session, Matthew Brantl ( ​@Matt) shared insights into how Nestlé Health Science optimizes their production processes using TrendMiner. Here are some of the key highlights he discussed: CIP optimization Detecting fouling in critical heat exchangers Verifying tank load cells Using ContextHub and DashHub for monitoring and visualization Check out the full recording to dive deeper into these use cases👇  

Hi everyone,In this session, Bita Fillipi ​@bitafillipi from BASF shared how they use TrendMiner dashboards to monitor boiler efficiency, optimize fuel usage, and reduce CO₂ emissions.Even small adjustments in boiler operation can lead to significant fuel savings, lower emissions, and costs reductions.Watch the full recording below and see how TrendMiner makes a real impact! 👇  

We’re excited to announce that one of the most requested dashboard features is finally here: Gauge Tiles are now available in TrendMiner’s 2025.R3 release.Gauge tiles provide a simple, intuitive way to monitor KPIs and process values at a glance. Whether you're tracking a critical parameter in your unit or creating a clean, executive-level overview, gauge tiles make it easier to visualize where your values stand. Gauge tile display modes:Gauge tiles come with four built-in display styles to fit different dashboard layouts and preferences: Angular Speedometer Linear Horizontal Linear Vertical You’ll see all four showcased in the screenshot included below. Dashboard with angular (conc and temp), speedometer (flow), linear horizontal (coating), and linear vertical (level) gauge tiles.Configuration and setup:To configure a gauge tile, the only required inputs are the minimum and maximum values. From there, you can tailor it to your needs with several optional settings: Target value

When creating a CSR (certificate signing request) in TrendMiner it is important to always include a SAN (subject alternative name). What is a SAN?It is a field in an SSL certificate that allows a single certificate to secure multiple domain names, subdomains, or IP addresses. This is useful for protecting various websites on a single IP address or for securing a main domain along with its variants. Why is it mandatory to fill in a SAN?Browsers used to rely on the CN (common name), but this has led to security vulnerabilities.That is why standards have been updated to require browsers to use the SAN extension.All modern browsers ignore the CN and strictly validate hostnames via SAN.If you leave SAN empty, your CA will issue a certificate without valid hostnames, and TrendMiner will appear as “Not secure” even with a signed certificate. Where can I fill in the SAN during creation of a CSR?When creating a SAN in Edge manager, the SAN can be filled in at the bottom of the Certificate Signi

 Scatter Plots have long been one of TrendMiner’s most powerful tools to visualize relationships between process parameters. In recent releases, this functionality has been significantly enhanced — making it easier than ever to uncover correlations, compare time periods, and analyze performance in detail.Let’s take a closer look at what’s new and how you can apply these features in practice using a heat exchanger example. 1. From Trends to Scatter PlotsWhen analyzing process data  in TrendHub, you can easily switch the visualization type under “Select chart type” — directly below the focus chart. From there, you can change the default Stacked trend view to Trend or Scatter.In the Multi scatter view, all visible tags from your active tag list are plotted against each other. Each combination generates a scatter plot, accompanied by histograms and a regression line (initially linear), including its regression coefficient.This multi-dimensional view is ideal for identifying correlations be
