What is IOTA VUE?
IOTA VUE is a data-source-agnostic visualization platform that unifies data, context, and workflows across industrial operations. It connects to 30+ data sources and lets teams build:
- Process diagrams — real-time P&IDs and process overviews
- Single pane of glass — unified operational views across multiple systems
- KPI dashboards — performance monitoring and management reporting
- Manual data entry forms — operator input and data-capture workflows
Everyone works in the same Viewer and Editor interface: operators explore and trend data, engineers and builders design displays, and administrators manage data sources, users, and branding — no separate authoring tool required.
Examples in Action
IOTA VUE is used across oil & gas, chemicals, life sciences, utilities, and manufacturing. Common use cases include:
- Process diagrams — built in IOTA VUE or migrated from SCADA/DCS platforms, PI Vision, or ProcessBook, then enhanced with real-time data, navigation, and modern styling
- Global production monitoring — enterprise-wide KPI dashboards with multi-site drill-down, analytics integration (e.g. Seeq), and monitor-by-exception workflows
- Site production monitoring — isometric plant graphics with alarms, KPIs, and trending overlays
- Unit monitoring — equipment-level diagnostics with scheduling data, control checks, and maintenance information
- Control tower / remote operating center — a unified view for rig performance, compliance tracking, and emergency systems
- Bioreactor overviews — life-sciences process monitoring with batch information, health indicators, and prediction charts
Who Uses IOTA VUE?
Operators
Operators use IOTA VUE for real-time monitoring and trending. The Ad Hoc Trend tool is one of the most-used features — drag and drop tags to investigate process behavior without building a dedicated display.
Engineers
Engineers build displays that combine data from multiple sources to analyze performance, troubleshoot, and optimize. The components library ranges from simple value displays to XY charts and SQC charts.
Builders & Designers
Builders use the same drag-and-drop Viewer and Editor interface to design displays for their teams, extended with custom components, custom SVG libraries, and scripting.
Administrators
Administrators configure data sources, manage authentication, and set up themes and branding for the organization.
