Cognitive monitoring & control for
Industry 4.0
The PharosN IoT platform runs custom digital twins of your factories, enterprises, and industrial systems — monitoring every process automatically, in real time, in the cloud or at the edge.
You shouldn't have to go looking for problems.
Most monitoring tools still expect someone to watch a screen and interpret what they see. PharosN works differently: it automatically analyses every process defined in the digital twin and its combinations, in real time, identifying deviations from planned performance goals and calculating a sustainability status for every object and process.
Only once an unsustainable trend is identified or predicted does the platform notify the relevant stakeholders — control-room operators, managers, administrators, decision-makers, or citizens — with the real-time predictive and prescriptive analytics they need for their daily work. In effect, applications like Smart Enterprise Monitor and Smart City Monitor can answer one question at any moment: “How are you, my big system of systems?”
From Raw Data to Holistic Control
Connect
Any data source with a digital interface can be added — IoT sensors, smart meters, automated information systems, mobiles, and the web — over MQTT, REST, CoAP, OPC UA, and more.
Model
Every data stream becomes a KPI time series — user-defined or drawn from international quality-of-management standards — aggregated to match your system's structure.
Analyse
KPI values and their combinations are analysed continuously against custom rules, producing a real-time sustainability status for every object and the system as a whole.
Act
Interactive dashboards, reports, and web and mobile apps deliver a holistic view — with root-cause analysis and pre-emptive, predictive maintenance built in.

From cloud to the edge, without the latency.
Digital twin applications can run in distributed computing environments — cloud, local fog at enterprise premises, or edge devices such as single-board microcomputers with machine-learning accelerators.
Collaborating, coordinated engines apply deep-learning methods at every level of the command-and-control chain, reducing communication latency and network traffic while improving energy efficiency.
Configurable by stakeholder group:
- — Management, operators, public, and partner views
- — Data access and authorisations set by the customer
- — Interactive dashboards, reports, web and mobile apps
- — Root-cause analysis for continuous improvement

Key difference of the PharosN solutions compared to others existing on the market
The users do not need to monitor and analyse processes trying to find out some issues. The PharosN monitoring applciation solutions automatically analyse all ongoing processes defind in the digital twin and its combinations in real time, indentify non-compliances to planned / required performance goals, calculate the sustainability statuses for all objects & processes, identify and predict unsustainable trends and only then notify relevant authorised groups of stakeholders such as operators of information and control centers, managers, administrators, decision-makers, citizens. The real time predictive and prescriptive analytics assist operators, managers, decision makers and citizens in their daily business activities.
Smart Enterprise Monitor and Smart City Monitor and other similar apps are capable to provide answers the question “How are you my Big System Of Cystems? (manufacturing-, agro-, logistics-, tarnsportation- and other industrial enterpise, and building, campus, district, city, country, etc) to you anytime in real time.
Transforming big data in big systems of systems into holistic services and controls
The solutions help organisations processing big data from large number of heterogeneous data sources in real time presenting holistic vision of the results in real time. The platform allows adding any data source having digital content and interface including diverse IoT, sensors, smart meters, automated information systems and networks, mobiles, web, etc. It supports major standards for IoT data exchange protocols such as matt, rest, coap, opc ua, etc and has rich set of API for data exchange with third party automated systems.
All data streams are transformed into indicator time series - KPIs that are user defined and/or recommended by international standards of quality of management and quality of life. The KPI values are analysed in real time, aggregated accordingly target system structure realised in the custom digital twin and presented on interactive dashboards and reports and web and mobile apps.
The sustainability status of each object of the digital twin model, including the whole system, is identified in real time. Each process data stream is analysed along with their combinations and included into the custom rules of the object status definition. As result the application solution provides management and operators with holistic view into the system operations in real time and allows in depth analysis of causes and performance issues for continuous improvement and control.
The application models - digital twins, can run in distributed computing environment such as cloud or local fog at enterprise premises including edge devices such as singleboard microcomputers (Raspberry PI type) with machine learning accelerators. The collaborating and coordinated engines applying deep-learning methods and new techniques for efficiently, securely and flexibility processing at each level of the big system command and control reducing communication latency, network traffic and costs, and improving energy efficiency.
The information services can be customised by the customers or application developers accordingly to the information needs of different stakeholder groups (e.g. management levels, operators, public, etc) including data access and user authorisations set by the customer administration.
Such custom solutions realise simple holistic vision of the sustainability, all necessary KPIs and trends and cause analytics and condition monitoring. It supports pre-emptive & predictive maintenance of complex and Big Systems of Systems in various application areas in real time including:
- CityScore dashboards, holistic management and certification of Smart Cities and Districts, Sustainable Green Communities, Smart Regions, Smart Islands
- Smart Enterprises, Factories of Future, Industry 4.0, Agro-industries,
- Management of Energy and resource efficiency, Water Waste and Transportation facilities in urban and rural areas
- Smart Management of Assets, Buildings, Campuses, Shopping Centers
