"Process data tracking" refers to the collection, storage, and analysis of data generated during the execution of a specific process or sequence of activities. This data typically includes information about the progress, performance, quality, and other relevant metrics of the process. Process data tracking enables businesses to gain insights into their operational workflows, identify bottlenecks, make performance improvements, and enhance efficiency.
Typical functions of software in the "process data tracking" area are:
Data acquisition: Capturing process data from various sources such as sensors, manual inputs, or other systems.
Data aggregation and storage: Consolidating and storing process data in a central database or data store for later analysis.
Real-time monitoring: Continuously monitoring process data in real-time to track the current status and performance of the process.
Data analysis: Analyzing process data using statistical methods, machine learning, or other analytical techniques to identify patterns, trends, and deviations.
Visualization: Presenting process data in the form of charts, graphs, dashboards, or reports for easy interpretation and decision-making.
Alarms and notifications: Generating alerts, notifications, or alarms for deviations or critical events in the process flow.
Historical data and traceability: Storing historical process data for traceability and analysis of past events or performance.
Integration with other systems: Integrating process data tracking software with other enterprise systems for seamless data transfer and processing.
