"Process visualization" refers to the representation of workflows, data flows, or processes in a graphical form. Typically, complex processes or systems are illustrated through diagrams, graphics, or animations to better understand, monitor, or optimize them.
Typical functions of software in the field of process visualization include:
Diagram creation: The software enables the creation of various types of diagrams such as flowcharts, organizational charts, or process flow diagrams.
Real-time monitoring: It provides the ability to monitor processes in real-time by visualizing data streams and highlighting key metrics or alarms.
Interactive visualization: Users can interact with the software to examine details, adjust parameters, or conduct simulations.
Data integration: The software can integrate data from various sources and represent them in visualizations to clarify relationships between processes and data.
Customizable dashboards: Users can create customized dashboards to gather and present relevant information in one place.
Reporting: It enables the creation of reports or logs based on the visualized data and events.
Security and access control: The software provides features to secure data and control access to sensitive information.
Integration with other systems: Ability to integrate with other enterprise systems such as ERP systems or SCADA systems for seamless data transmission and visualization.
