Analyze Data Crash Course

Welcome! In this use case, use AI-assisted & manual analytics tools to: Get data Find event/operational state: when temperature is too high Operationalize: Get notified if the high temperature event happens again Calculate total energy used by a compressor each week

Step 1: Open a new Workbench in Seeq

• On the Seeq Homescreen (yourcompany.seeq.com), click New, then click Workbench Analysis.

• Note that the new Analysis will open in a new tab. Disable pop up blockers to see it.

• Questions? Ask Seeq’s AI!

Step 2: Paste the crash course below in the Journal

(or put this tab beside your Seeq screen)

You're an engineer assigned to Area A and want to know when the Temperature is too high, then calculate total weekly energy usage in your Compressors.

1. Select AI Actions Agent and paste in:
   Load the Temperature and Compressor Power signals from Area A from the Example > Cooling Tower 1 asset

More on Finding Data In the Data Tab you can also manually search by name (regex is supported), navigate through asset/data structures, and Filter & Sort your search based on attributes, description, etc.  To get the data shown above by hand: Click on the Example asset, then Cooling Tower 1, then Area A. Click the data to add them to the graph.

Click on the time range box under the trend, type "2 months" (then Enter) to change the Display Range duration.

**Check out the Customize button in the Details pane: sometimes a click is faster than an AI prompt!

The no-code Tools are organized by Analytics Skills (type of analytics): 

• Identify periods of interest/events

• Cleanse data

• Quantify

• Model & Predict

• Machine Learning

• Formula (the calculation editor)

• See "Full Training" on your homescreen to learn more.

Let's identify High Temperature conditions in the system using the built-in Tools.

• Ask General Agent: How can I find when temperature is above 105?

• Follow the AI's instructions.

• Check your work:

  • Click the Edit button by the new High Temperature condition in the Details pane should look like this:

What is a Condition?  A Condition is a set of bars at the top of the trend that indicates when an event is occurring.  Ask General Agent: What are the different ways of identifying conditions? Ask General Agent: What are Conditions useful for?

• In the Details Pane, click the 3-dot icon by the High Temperature condition.

• Then click Add Notifications.

• Fill out the form to send a notification to yourself.

• Cancel the notification (you probably don't want emails about this example High Temperature condition).

The Actions Agent can help with calculations, as well. To do calculations, AI uses Formula, Seeq's built-in function library (like the calculation bar in Excel, except with more functionality).

• Use Actions Agent: Calculate the total energy used each week using the Compressor Power data.

• Check AI's work: 

  • In the AI pane, you will see the Formula with comments to explain what it does.

  • Check it: Click Edit by the new "Total Energy During High Temperature" signal in the Details Pane. It should look something like this:

We recommend the full Foundations Analytics Skills Training to practice data cleansing, finding events and periods of interest, quantification, modeling & prediction, dashboarding, data viz, and more.
