Success Story
Smart Manufacturing

““For every 1% increase in shipped
product, we make $11MM in profit. The
demand is there, we just need to fulfill it.“
- Head of Quality, Solar Panel Manufacturer

Scenario: Predictive Scrapping of Parts in an Assembly Line
Goal: Scrap parts as early as possible automatically to reduce costs in a manufacturing process.
Question: When to scrap a part in Station 1 instead of doing re-work or sending it to Station 2?
Station 1 Station 2
Cost Before
9€
7€ 13€
Total Cost
29€
(or more)
Scrap? Scrap?

Machine Learning Applied to Sensor Events in Real Time
Example: Predictive Analytics for Manufacturing (“scrap parts as early as possible”)

Great success stories, but …
… how to realize these use cases?

Traditional Data Processing: ”Request – Response”
Store
Analyze
Act

Traditional Data Processing: ”Request – Response”
• Data is collected from a variety of
sources, and placed in a persistent
store.
– Relational database.
– NoSQL store.
– Hadoop environment.
• Analytical processes are executed
against the stored data to detect
opportunities or threats.
• Actions are identified, delivered,
and executed across various
business channels.
Store
Analyze
Act

Traditional Data Processing: Challenges
Store
Analyze
Act
• Introduces too much “decision
latency” into the business.
• Responses are delivered “after-the-
fact”.
• Maximum value of the identified
situation is lost.
– Cross-sell / up-sell opportunities are
lost, impending equipment failure is
missed, business processes are slow
to respond and lack timely context.
• Decisions are made on old and stale
data.

Event Value Decreases Over TimeValue
Time

Event Value Decreases Over TimeValue
Time
• Events are often most
valuable “close to” the
point of collection.
• As time passes, events tend
to lose their value.
• The ability to proactively
identify “threats” or
“opportunities” will typically
decrease.
• Real-time capability is
needed to maximize event
value.

The New Era: Streaming Analytics
• Events are analyzed and processed in
real-time as they arrive.
• Decisions are timely, contextual, and
based on fresh data.
• Decision latency is eliminated, resulting
in:
ü Superior Customer Experience
ü Operational Excellence
ü Instant Awareness and Timely Decisions

Streaming Analytics: What Is A “Stream”?
Clickstream
Sensors
Social Data
Logs
• Consists of pieces of data
typically generated due to a
change of state.
• One or more identifiers
• Timestamp & payload
• Immutable
• Typically unbounded; there is no
end to the data.
• Batch dataset: “bounded”.
• Can be raw or derived.

changing business requirements
without the need for rewriting other parts!

Streaming Analytics: Ingest

Channels
Integration
Messaging
Stream Ingest
• Stream data may come from a number sources,
either at the edge, in the data center, or via the
cloud.
• Need to handle a variety of data formats and protocols, all at global
scale.
• Pay attention to “event time” vs. “processing time”
!!
• Event Time: Time the event was created.
• Processing Time: Time the event was received or processed.
• Event time is typically more relevant, and will lead
to more predictable results.
• Eliminate time skew associated with clock synchronization, system
outages, processing latency, network issues, etc.

Streaming Analytics: Preprocessing
Transformation
Aggregation
Enrichment
Filtering
Stream
Preprocessing
Normalization • Stream data often needs to be manipulated before it is
processed by downstream components.
• Normalization
• Transformation
• May filter unwanted events close to the source to
eliminate “noise”.
• Events may also be enriched with additional context to
provide additional data for further processing.
• Customer details, equipment details, location information, etc.
• Data may be stored in a high-speed cache or other store for rapid
access.

• Streams may be immediately pushed to a data lake.
• May be raw or preprocessed.
• Used for subsequent analysis as part of an immutable data layer.
• Typically processed in batch in this part of the architecture.
• In parallel, streams may be processed in real-time
against a number of constructs.
• Real-time analytics.
• Graph analysis / Geo Analysis
• Rules.
• Results from the real-time processing may be fed into
the batch component.
• The results of batch processing may also be pushed into the real-
time layer.

… is easy to setup and scale.
But you do not have full control! L
• Any data that is older than 24 hours is automatically deleted
• Every Kinesis application consists of just one procedure, so you can’t use Kinesis
to perform complex stream processing unless you connect multiple applications
• Kinesis can only support a maximum size of 50KB for each data item

• Maturity for enterprise use cases
• Performance and scalability
• “Big data native” deployment (YARN, Mesos)
• Monitoring and proactive actions
• Streaming engine under the hood (not just
visualization layer)
• New Ad-hoc queries by the business user
(without the help of IT department)
• Various visual components
• Extendibility (graphical designer vs. coding)
… or build your own solution using Websockets, Angular JS, etc.

• Solution: TIBCO for Fast Data Architecture
• TXOdds uses TIBCO to correlate, aggregate, and analyze large
volumes of streaming betting data in real-time and publish innovative
predictive betting analytics to their customers
• Result: TXOdds First to Market with Innovative Zero
Latency Betting Analytics
• Innovative real-time analytics help players who can process electronic
data in real-time the edge
“With StreamBase, in two
months we had our first
betting analytics feed live,
and we continually deploy
new ideas and evolve our
old ones.”
