DataControl
AI platform for industrial data analysis & visualization

SCADA / CSV / IO-Link ML / AI Algorithms Grafana Dashboards On-premise

DataControl is an industrial analytics platform that integrates process, machine and business data in a single environment. It collects information from multiple sources (SCADA, CSV, IoT, PLC databases), processes it with dedicated AI algorithms, and presents results on clear dashboards — tailored to every operational level. Available in on-premise, cloud or hybrid architecture — no subscriptions and no vendor lock-in.

How DataControl works

A three-stage pipeline —
from data source to operational decision

DataControl combines industrial data integration, AI algorithm processing and result visualisation into a single coherent pipeline. Every stage is configurable and tailored to the specifics of your plant — without replacing existing infrastructure.

Data collection

Data Collection

We connect to your existing plant infrastructure — SCADA, PLC, IO-Link, CSV, REST API, SQL databases. No hardware replacement, no production downtime.

Processing and normalisation

Processing & Normalisation

Data is cleaned, time-synchronised and stored in a TimeSeries database. Feature engineering, KPI and OEE calculation performed server-side within the plant.

ML and AI algorithms

ML & AI Algorithms

Machine learning models trained on your plant's own data: OEE prediction, anomaly detection, operating mode clustering, LSTM networks.

Visualisation and reports

Visualisation & Reports

Results appear on Grafana dashboards adapted to every level of your organisation. SMS/email alerts, automated reports, historical data export.

Your data stays with you

✔ The system runs locally — in your network, on your server.
✔ Data never leaves the plant network — unless you want it to.
✔ Export, connect to existing systems, or leave as-is.

Analytical methods and AI models

Algorithms matched
to your production problem

DataControl does not impose ready-made templates. For every deployment we select analytical methods appropriate to the specifics of your process and data — from classical process statistics to deep LSTM neural networks and Monte Carlo analysis.

Starting point
Process and production data analysis

Process & Production Data Analysis

Before we design anything, we need to understand your data. We check what is actually being measured, examine value distributions, identify gaps and correlations. This stage eliminates guesswork — it is where every deployment begins.

EDA Correlations KPI / OEE Descriptive statistics
Unsupervised learning
Clustering and data grouping

Clustering & Data Grouping

Sometimes data naturally groups into clusters that nobody previously defined — machine operating modes, defect types, energy consumption profiles. Clustering algorithms reveal these patterns without requiring manual labelling of historical records.

K-Means DBSCAN Hierarchical t-SNE
Deep Learning
Trend prediction – LSTM networks

Trend Prediction – LSTM Networks

Time-series data has memory — what happens now depends on what happened before. LSTM networks learn these dependencies and forecast where temperature, pressure or throughput is heading — with a look-ahead of minutes, hours or days.

LSTM Time series Forecasting Rolling window
Early warning
Anomaly detection

Anomaly Detection

The model learns how your machine or process normally behaves — and flags when something starts to deviate from the norm. No manual alarm thresholds required. The system detects irregularities automatically and sends a notification before a failure or reject occurs.

Isolation Forest Autoencoder Z-score LOF
Bottleneck detection
Feature importance analysis

Feature Importance Analysis

Which variable has the greatest impact on product quality? Where are you actually losing throughput? Feature importance analysis answers these questions with numbers — not intuition. It shows which parameters deserve attention first.

SHAP Feature Importance PCA Permutation
Risk analysis
Monte Carlo analysis

Monte Carlo Analysis

Instead of a single forecast you get a distribution of possible outcomes — with the probability of each. Useful for production planning, assessing the risk of exceeding quality norms and "what if" analysis across different process scenarios.

MC Simulations Risk analysis Sensitivity Scenarios

Business case for deployment

What does managing production
without data analysis really cost?

DataControl is a one-off implementation cost. Decisions based on gut feeling, invisible bottlenecks, manual Excel reporting and no visibility into what drives OEE — these are fixed, recurring costs. Compare what you pay for today with the cost of deploying an analytics system.

Without an analytics system

Operators don't know what's happening — until something breaks. Decisions are made on experience and instinct. Reports are created manually. Losses are invisible.

Manual OEE reporting 2–8 h/week
Bottlenecks invisible for months constant throughput losses
Maintenance done "just in case" unnecessary MRO costs
No history — no basis for optimisation hard to quantify

With DataControl

Full process visibility in real time. Data-driven decisions. Reports generated automatically. Losses identified before they become a problem.

Automated OEE and KPI reports 0 h manual work
Bottlenecks visible immediately fast response
Maintenance only when data indicates need optimised MRO costs
Data history = foundation for continuous optimisation measurable results

Data based on industry reports by McKinsey, Deloitte and proprietary research from deployments in manufacturing and processing industries.

A simple calculation

The plant didn't know where it was losing
15% of throughput

A hydraulic components manufacturer spent two years carrying out scheduled maintenance while unaware that three stations on the assembly line generated 71% of total queue waiting time. The data was there — but nobody was analysing it.


After deploying DataControl and analysing historical MES data, the bottlenecks were visible within a week. No machine replacements, no additional investments — achieved purely through data.

Example · hydraulic components manufacturer
Throughput losses before deployment ~15%
Time needed to identify the problem 2 years
Time to identification with DataControl 1 week
Line throughput increase +22%
Additional machine investment €0

DataControl is deployed based on the plant's actual data — not templates. Every engagement begins with a free technical consultation where we assess available data sources and real savings potential.

Let's talk about your plant →

Deployments and results

DataControl in production —
measurable results from real plants

Two examples of DataControl industrial analytics deployments: OEE prediction with 24-hour lead time and automatic identification of bottlenecks on an assembly line. Results verified operationally.

Production management

OEE Prediction with 24-Hour Lead Time

An automotive components plant was experiencing unplanned downtime that pushed OEE below the profitability threshold. Data from three lines was available in SCADA but nobody was analysing it in real time for early failure signals.


DataControl built a predictive model based on temperature, current and vibration signatures — detecting 87% of incidents with at least 18 hours' advance notice. Result: the ability to schedule intervention during a maintenance window without stopping production.

Identification and Elimination of Assembly Line Bottlenecks

An industrial valve manufacturer was experiencing recurring order fulfilment delays. MES data existed but was spread across three systems — no operator had a complete view of the process in one place.


DataControl merged data from MES, the weighing system and order schedules. The clustering algorithm automatically detected three stations that regularly generated a queue buffer exceeding norms. After reorganising the workflow, average cycle time at the bottleneck stations fell by 18%, translating into a 22% increase in line throughput.

Data sources

Operational results
  • ✔ Average cycle time reduced by 18% — throughput up 22% with no additional investment
  • ✔ 3 stations identified as generating 71% of total queue waiting time
  • ✔ Order lead time shortened by an average of 19%
  • ✔ Analysis ready 6 weeks after data connection
Queue waiting time — before / after [min]
Station 3 — welding−38%

Station 7 — visual inspection−32%
before: 28 minafter: 19 min
Station 11 — leak testing−21%

What DataControl detected automatically
The algorithm identifies not only the current bottleneck but also its cause — whether it is machine cycle time, waiting for material or insufficient staffing. DataControl pinpoints where intervention will deliver the greatest impact.
