Step 1: Logic-based automation.
Our platform enables you to implement complex, logic-based rules within workflows, allowing you to create automatic control actions based on specific conditions or sensor data. This is a key feature for achieving sophisticated automation and control scenarios.
Rule Builder Node: add a 'Rule Builder' node (found under 'Function Nodes') to put in place logic that changes actions based on real-time data. Rayven supports different types of logic, including:
- Conditional Logic: 'IF THIS, THEN THAT' rules that automatically triggers action(s) when conditions are met.
- Dynamic Process Adjustments: adjust processes dynamically based on changing real-time data.
- Cross-Device Workflows: the logic incorporates data + actions across multiple devices and systems.
Machine Learning Node: this node enables you to deploy algorithms you've created (tested + trained) within our platform's Machine Learning Studio so that you can create logic that acts based on what the algorithm sees in your real-time data, creating a feedback loop that optimizes outputs based on ever-improving forecasts.
Step 2: Action.
Direct the desired outcome using Control + Output nodes. Combining these capabilities enables you to automate complex processes and create a self-optimization loop, helping you to improve efficiency, minimize downtime, optimize resource use, improve safety, and more, automatically.
Control Nodes: add virtual controls to your dashboards that enable operators to take action:
- Button Node: swap between two value states using a button or switch, e.g. ON/OFF.
- Scheduler Node: create events like start and end time.
- Multi-Choice Node: create a dropdown that actions one of a number of set choices.
- Data Entry Node: enter a value and have it appear on a dashboard or within a JSON payload.
Output Nodes: push data into a 3rd party system to share data or instruct machinery (based on set-up).
- Third-party System Integration: push data into third-party systems or directly instruct machinery based on predefined setups.
Messaging: use email or the SMS node to trigger an alert. - Protocol: control machines and trigger actions using a data protocol node, including:
- API Output
- FTP Output
- HTTP Output
- Modbus Output
- MQTT Output.
