Asset Analytics should have a performance counter to indicate data loss on the UpdateManager queue

Currently there is no way to know if Analytics missed important updates (e.g. start of a batch) without analyzing the message logs. However, the AFSDK does provide an indication on the DataPipe if the pipe is in an overflow state, allowing for a c...

Rollup Analysis of Booleans

I would like to be able to do a Rollup Analysis of Booleans attributes, without casting or converting the boolean. As Rollup Functions I would suggest: Logical AND, Logical OR and maybe Count of True/False. It can be use to create a Combined Stat...

Skip Numbers in Digital State / Digital Set

There are other similar ideas out there on this site but I would like to see the ability to skip numbers in the Digital States Enumeration. We have areas of the plant that have states which don't map well to a 1,2,3.... set of states. Some are bit...
