KNOW MORE

As the industry’s first truly open software platform, the Niagara Framework®
helps users connect and control disparate devices and systems, and harness
the power of the Internet of Things. Through the advanced arsenal of tools
found in our next-generation Niagara 4, users have gained unprecedented
operational insight.

DO MORE WITH WHAT YOU KNOW

Now Niagara Analytics 2.0 is taking the robust analytics capabilities of

Niagara 4 to a whole new level. Fully compatible with Niagara 4, Niagara
Analytics 2.0 gives you the real-time business intelligence you need to make
smarter, swifter decisions and improve operations with less time, less work,
less waste and less expense.

HOW IT WORKS
As your devices and systems communicate with each other,
they generate data. Niagara Analytics 2.0 gives that data key advantages
