Overview
Overview of the ENLYZE Platform and the documentation.
This page gives you an overview of the ENLYZE Platform components and shows you where to find each topic in the documentation.
Platform components
The ENLYZE Manufacturing Data Platform consists of several components that together transport machine data from the shopfloor into your analysis tools.
Edge Device
The Edge Device is installed on-site in your production environment. It reads data from controllers (PLCs), sensors, and gateways, then transmits it to the ENLYZE cloud via an encrypted VPN connection. Details can be found under Edge Device.
Manufacturing Data Platform
The cloud platform stores and processes all machine data. It calculates KPIs such as OEE, detects downtimes, and provides data via the API. The platform processes both real-time data and historical time series.
ENLYZE App
The web interface at app.enlyze.com provides features for production analysis (timeline, OEE, downtimes), configuration (Variable Mapping, downtime reasons), and administration (user management). Learn more under Production optimization.
API & integrations
The REST API provides programmatic access to machine data and KPIs. The integrations with Grafana and Power BI are built on top of this API.
Documentation
Concepts — knowledge foundation
The Concepts section provides background knowledge on production data and key metrics. Concept pages explain why things work the way they do, without going into specific click paths. Topics: machine data (data sources, variables, time series), downtimes, performance, OEE, and a glossary.
If you want to know how to set something up, check the how-to guides in the respective sections.
Model — platform structure
The Model section describes how the ENLYZE Platform represents your production:
Sites group your production by physical locations. Machines are the units for which KPIs like OEE are calculated. Data sources provide raw data from controllers. Production runs associate machine data with a product and time range.
Variable Mapping — preparing data
Variable Mapping describes the process of preparing variables from your data sources for use in ENLYZE. The two steps are Exploration & Discovery (finding and enabling variables) and Contextualisation (adding a display name, unit, and scaling factor, then activating variables).
Connect — connecting machines
The Connect section explains how to connect machines and data sources to the ENLYZE Platform. Topics: Edge Device (preparation, installation, ENLYZE EDGE), OT connectivity (controllers, protocols), IT connectivity (ERP/MES integration), security, and troubleshooting.
Production optimization — using your data
Under Production optimization you will find guides for the analysis features of the ENLYZE App: OEE, downtimes, performance, quality, Golden Run, setup sheet, Co-Pilot, batch record, and reports.
Integrations — external tools
The Integrations section provides guides for connecting external analysis tools:
Grafana — Real-time dashboards with the ENLYZE connector
Power BI — Business analytics and reporting with the ENLYZE Power BI Connector
SAP — Integration via the SAP Integration Suite
Administration
The Administration section covers managing your ENLYZE account: manage your profile (name, language, password) and user management (invitations, roles, permissions).
