TSM
Time Series Management
The Aether environment supports time series data creation and management for AI applications enablement. Time series refers to a list of data points that qualify the system state representation evolution over time. Time series allows to efficiently address business monitoring needs such as inventory levels, equipment temperature or wear and tear. Time series data provides the historical information needed for analysis by Al and ML algorithms to generate and test predictive models.
DCT
Data Computation and Transformation Tools
Enable a variety of pre-built logic-based algorithms that can accelerate the understanding of your system. These tools do not just enable the calculation of distances, surfaces, and volumes but also the analysis of reflectance maps and other types of indexes. You can also choose to extend the pre-built tools to reflect your unique business process or develop custom new packages.
MLM
Pre-built ML Models
Make use of a variety of pre-built ML models to accelerate the development of vision AI workflows. These packages contain tools for anomaly or object detection, task segmentation, 3D reconstruction, and point cloud classification. Companies can also choose to extend these pre-built object models to reflect their unique business process or develop custom new object models.

Seamlessly integrate the Aether environment with other IT applications, send push notifications and data in and out to adapt with your operational constraints.
RBA
Accessibility and Role-Based Access
To ensure platform security and data integrity, the access to Aether is restricted according to user roles. The roles and rights at Aether are organized according to operational constraints. Create and configure custom roles that fit best your organization’s access needs.
Aether can be accessed using the single sign-on (SSO) authentication method allowing users to securely log in, by using your own enterprise identity provider.
OM
Data Operations Management
Filter, extract and aggregate relevant data about your system. Build customized reports with actionable information that integrate seamlessly into your business workflows and generate optimized work orders. Define warnings to create and trigger operations, allocate them to specific teams and monitor activities.
