Export Data to Excel

Is it possible to access the expoert of tags in Excel directly via Excel? Instead of going into the Trendminer and exporting a tag view, would it be possible to load the data of different tags directly into Excel via API connection and a PowerQuery in Excel?

Early Detection of Heat Exchanger Fouling

Improve asset availability and energy efficiency with self-service analytics 📌 BackgroundIn many process-driven industries, heat exchangers play a crucial role in maintaining efficient thermal operations. For example, process gases exiting a shell-and-tube heat exchanger are often routed to downstream equipment like baghouse filters, which are subject to strict temperature limits. To prevent safety risks or equipment damage, conservative temperature thresholds are often used—typically set well below actual specification limits.However, over time, systems may experience efficiency losses due to fouling, which can increase outlet temperatures and push operations closer to critical thresholds. Being able to detect and address fouling at an early stage is key to maintaining asset availability and optimizing energy use. ⚙️ ChallengeFouling inside heat exchangers reduces thermal efficiency, leading to higher outlet temperatures and potential process deviations.To ensure safe and optimal ope

Did you receive an email with subject "TrendMiner restart required"?

Are you a TrendMiner admin and did you receive an email with subject "TrendMiner restart required" containing the following message, then this post might interest you:Dear administrator,The internal cluster certificates of your TrendMiner installation are about to expire within 90 days.Please reboot TrendMiner to refresh the certificates.Kind regards,TrendMiner Why did you get this email?The TrendMiner appliance internally uses certificates to secure the communication between the different microservices. Similar to regular TLS certificates which you upload to secure the communication between the users’ computers and the TrendMiner server, these internal certificates also expire after a while and need to be renewed.In contrast to the TLS certificates which secure client-server traffic and which need to be renewed by the TrendMiner server admin explicitly, the internal cluster certificates are renewed automatically by the server when the server is rebooted.If you received the above email

Quantifying the influence of process conditions on KPIs

Knowing how certain settings impact our main KPIs is key in fine-tuning a process to driveproductivity. Such a feat can only be accomplished by actually measuring the relevant KPIs in acomparative study.In this use case, you will see how you can very quickly assess the impact of process conditions on agiven KPI during a selected period. process conditions: equipment on/off, product grade, day of the week... KPI: energy usage, setpoint deviations, total production, ... period of choice: the period you currently have on your focus chartAn example would be assessing the impact our Advanced Process Controller (APC) has on the averagedeviation of our Process Value (PV) from our Setpoint (SP). Is it actually doing its job in reducing theaverage deviation? Step 1 - Defining the KPIAssuming we don't already have a KPI tag, we will need to use a formula to calculate the KPI we want.In the case of APC performance, a typical KPI would be the absolute value of the difference between a process valu

Continuous process health evaluation through incident and event dashboarding

TrendMiner can be used to automatically track the status of our sensor data during a batch process. To prevent losing time continuously having to check process trends, we can make a dashboard telling the user immediately the status of the production process during a period of choice. This can also detect problems, which were missed before and have had a big impact on, for example, product quality. As an example, we will look at the production of an active pharmaceutical ingredient in a batch process. To show the principle, we are going to monitor if a batch is currently running, and subsequently we are going to check whether the temperature does not increase too much during the batch. WorkflowSet up monitoring on timeseries we want to track Create a new ContextHub view with corresponding filters Add a Gantt-chart tile on a dashboard Optional for admins: configure the context item Set up monitoring on timeseries we want to trackFirst step is to track the events we want to have on our da

 Functional Tips & Tricks
🚦From Traffic Light Monitoring to Feature Request Enhancement! 🚨

Have you ever had a situation were you would like to see how your measurement is doing and how close is it of its allowed Upper and Lower limits?  Have you ever tried to create a dashboard where you can easily see the status of your equipment and in which zone is it performing?Up until now, in TrendMiner we could create a monitor that tells/notify us whenever a limit is surpassed or reached. Additionally, in a dashboard we could create a monitor tile that will change when this monitor has been triggered. But this only allows 2 status: On/Off, Good/Bad, etc. If we want to have more statuses, we were already limited by the use of only one tile. Monitor tile configured with 2 states. An easy workaround is usually to create a traffic light system, where monitor tiles are used for each different status. For example, in a tank level, in order to have Low, Intermediate and High level, we would need 3 monitor tiles as shown in the picture. Traffic light system with 3 states for a tank level. H

Calculation and aggregation tags are not loaded/calculated

I perfomed several calculations and agregations in short time. Now no calculated tags is shown any more / being calculated. Processing idicator constantly running. What can I do or who can help from our internal TrendMiner team. I am only data admin. By the way, since when is the help chat not working any more?

ConfigHub - Transfer Tag

If I am logged into ConfigHub as an admin, I can view the individual user folders and the documents stored there. Can the tags be transferred from one user to another? Because if users leave the company and the created tags are still needed, this leads to problems.I would therefore assign these tags to an active user. Best regards

Your Input Matters: TrendMiner 2025.R1.0 Co-Created by the Community!

Last week, we released TrendMiner 2025.R1.0 and even though this Community hasn’t celebrated it’s first birthday yet, many of the new functionalities and improvements were inspired and developed by the input from our Community members… Sign up to the Community to share your Product Ideas and provide early feedback through the Innovator’s Circle. Your input helps us develop a better platform! Product Ideas : Improved Context Item Search In December, not so long after the launch of our Product Ideas section, ​@Emil Barothi shared an idea to directly configure Context Item Searches in TrendHub. The improved Context Item Search in TrendHub 2025.R1.0 allows exactly that. Additionally, calculations on search results are saved with the search, so you can more easily share and repeat your analyses. Thank you, Emil, for sharing this valuable idea!Many more ideas from the Community are already planned on the TrendMiner roadmap or actively being investigated by our Product team. Keep them coming!
