With Aegis Discoverant®—an innovative enterprise software application for manufacturing intelligence—you can:

• Easily access millions of data values from diverse sources
• Query the data in your own terms—without the help of a programmer
• Drill down on any operation
• Make informed, proactive decisions by identifying critical process parameters
• Enable manufacturing enterprise compliance strategies

All with point-and-click ease.

Discoverant integrates powerful statistics, graphics, visual analytics and connectivity technology to provide direct, read-only access and conditioning of process data. Using a patented data modeling process, Discoverant maps and maintains the relationships between the data from the systems you already have in place—including LIMS, SCADA, EBR/MES, ERP and even data input from paper records—delivering a complete environment for data-intensive decision making, all the way from raw materials to finished product. Discoverant delivers functionality that directly impacts operational efficiency and manufacturing enterprise compliance and, ultimately, your bottom line.

The Discoverant suite of modules can be tailored to your specific requirements and includes:

Data Command Map—Provides a logical view of your data with unit operations, equipment, instruments and parameters. Eliminates the need to program or write SQL queries to access the data. The data is laid out just as it is collected in the process itself. Organizes data in hierarchical trees, with nodes that can be expanded with point-and-click ease and simple navigation tools.

Tableview with parameter conditioning, editing and creation capabilities—Provides the capability to review and edit all available data in detail. Also provides ways to condition the data so that outliers and missing data are handled properly in subsequent analyses. This module allows you to group the data into useful categories for later statistical or graphical comparisons.

Overlay Plotting—Provides a quick and easy way to compare the performance of one or more specific continuous parameters to the performance region of the same parameters from other batches grouped on the basis of their process outcomes or other selected criteria.

Quality Monitor—Provides Statistical Process Control (SPC) functions to assist you in understanding your process. Through a variety of control charts provided in Discoverant, you can plot and monitor a process and visually determine if the process falls outside pre-determined control limits. Process capability functionality helps you set specifications.

Curve Metrics™—Enables you to work comprehensively with continuous data, to extract features and combine them with other discrete data and use them for quantitative analysis. With Advanced Profile Analysis (APA), embedded in the Curve Metrics, you can analyze several different parameters at once, to see which are the best predictors of the process outcome.
