I wish to create dashboards for all our plants (13 of them). I would like each dashboard to have a series of associated components for each of the major process units in the plant (anywhere between 10 to 30 major process units per plant): For each process unit, create:

  1. TrendHub view with the charge rate in comparison to limits and or planned rate (3 or 4 known tags from different connected data sources). Specify aliases for each plot line - save in a shared site\unit folder
  2. Value-based search for unit downtime. Search entire available history and exclude downtime periods + set a context item on the unit charge rate tag - save in a shared site\unit folder
  3. Dynamic filter based on the above value-based search - save in a shared site\unit folder
  4. Apply this dynamic filter to the TrendHub view
  5. Context view for the context items defined with the value-based search - save in a shared site\unit folder
  6. Monitor based on the downtime value-based search and add context 

Once this is created for all major units of one site, create 1 dashboard for the site that includes the following tiles for each process unit:

  • Trendhub view
  • Monitor status
  • Context view count

This is a lot of work... I assume routines may in the future help me to get there. But in the meantime, I would hope I can use a Python script or something equivalent to help me replicate this work for all units and all sites.

Ideas??

Good evening, Yves,

 

This is a great use case for a custom solution using our Python SDKs. The Routines capability is planned for later 2026. In the meantime, I will discuss with our Analytics team for their feedback and follow up with you to discuss and evaluate the next steps. 

Regards,

Usman
