Software
AG
(Frankfurt MDAX: SOW) today announced the availability of Apama
Analytics Builder to radically reduce the time it takes to design,
develop and deploy analytics for Internet of Things applications.
Analytics Builder gives engineers and other domain experts working on
the IoT Edge a web-based capabilitiy to develop analytic applications on
streamed data, test them with simulated or live data and deploy them
immediately with a single click for the real-time processing of machine
data and events.

“Analytics Builder delivers on our strategic vision for self-service
analytics and removes the typical bottlenecks hindering the rapid
development and deployment of streaming analytic applications,” said Dr.
Stefan Sigg, Chief Product Officer of Software AG. “By allowing
operators and domain experts to directly develop their own analytic
applications we are taking a huge amount of pressure off the IT
department and empowering decentralized teams to accelerate their
delivery schedules. Also, bringing operational expertise directly to
application development significantly reduces the risk of
misunderstandings and enables operators to immediately address
unexpected events and situations.”

Apama Analytics Builder is a product of Software AG’s unique,
industry-led approach to IoT development. The market requirement was
identified by Dürr AG, a member of the manufacturing industry joint
venture consortium ADAMOS,
developed by Software AG and Dürr, rolled out over the ADAMOS IoT
platform and is already in production with end customers – all in a
matter of less than 12 months.

Nico Koch, Manager Digital Factory at Dürr, said: “I can really feel the
enthusiasm of the customers when we are presenting this product. With
Analytics Builder we will push forward the digitalization on the shop
floor tremendously. We have put extremely powerful analytical tools into
the hands of those that understand the production process the best,
opening a new era of streamlining and improvement.”

Apama Analytics Builder has a graphical user interface for non-coders to
take advantage of streaming analytics. It allows operators to quickly
build and deploy analytical models using a comprehensive library of
pre-built analytic blocks. With a drag-and-drop, free-form, web-based
editor and the capability to manage deployment and simulation, real-time
analytical applications can be developed when and where needed.
Analytics Builder models can also be easily exported for use throughout
the organization.

Already available on the ADAMOS IoT platform and in production, Apama
Analytics Builder will have general availability in April 2019 through
Software AG’s Cumulocity IoT Edge. A preliminary version will be
available at Software
AG’s booth at Hannover Fair
, starting on April 1.
