Moving beyond real-time data
More savvy data users are recognizing increasing data complexity and volume as well as the limitations of existing tools. To improve decision-making, they identify interoperable data and models to understand present operations and future potential.
Descriptive
What's happening?
Insight-driven companies integrate tools, coding, and timeseries data management systems efficiently and securely.
Using advanced analytics software on past and present data can increase productivity and efficiency by 5-10%.
Alert settings facilitate quick detection and prompt resolution of issues.
Predictive
What could happen?
This framework is model independent. It enables your data to interface with custom, open source, or proprietary third-party algorithms to forecast near-term trends.
Analyze forecasts from various models or modelling assumptions to identify issues before they occur.
Prescriptive
What can we do in advance?
Transform complex data into insightful decisions. Recover and refocus your time and confidence on interpreting the forecasts and evaluating the potential outcomes of decisions.
The catalog settings enable the reuse, revision, and comparison of an unlimited number of algorithms.
The clean low-code user interface opens endless development opportunities.
FAQs
What functions does KISTERS DSS enhance?
The scalable all-in-one forecast integration framework includes the following functions typically addressed by separate IT applications by different software developers, leaving significant doubts about their interoperability:
- Workflow management
- Real-time optimization
- Data validation, estimation, and editing (VEE)
including aggregation and interpolation - Reporting (documents)
- Publishing (online)
What data formats are ideal?
The platform is particularly adept at processing large dataset of scalar, profiles, grids and ensembles on a temporal scale, i.e. dynamic time series. This information can be sourced from in-situ sensor networks, SCADA systems as well as remote sensing.
A common use case is the coupling of hydromet data and short-term predictions of water level and water flow, such that flood district and emergency managers have more lead time for proactive actions or public warnings.
Why adopt a component-based modelling framework?
Model-centric approaches may be easier to set up. They often require rigid definition of input/output processes. However, changes in models and/or data feeding those forecasts may require the redesign or redevelopment of the decision-support system.
Like many KISTERS software, a modular approach provides more flexibility and utility. Users can select well-developed components in addition to choosing from many models that can be used in operational forecasting. The same framework can be used for equally by professionals who need water management or fire weather decision support. This IT solution integrates well in existing IT infrastructure environments.
Do I need WISKI to establish a decision-support system?
Implemented this DSS platform without or with WISKI.
The cloud-native platform can manage metadata. Python / pydantic coding is used to manage the data structures.
On the other hand, existing WISKI users who are familiar with creating new data structures or mapping existing networks are likely to continue to do so within the database.
Is this free or open software?
Unlike freely available open software, this commercial software is designed to empower its users with self-sufficiency. After purchasing the license and setup, users don’t become reliant on KISTERS and incur ongoing consulting costs.
An annual support & maintenance fee covers annual updates as well as technical support for the default version.
