Wind River Studio Digital Feedback Loop

Wind River^® Studio Digital Feedback Loop optimizes value delivery and operational and maintenance costs through real-time analytics and insights informed by OS-level and application-specific data from the edge. Improve fleet visibility and governance with an open, extensible command-and-control center that securely connects the intelligent edge to your cloud. Identify anomalies and opportunities to improve performance, maintenance, and value delivery through the entire lifecycle, from the cloud to the intelligent edge.

BENEFITS

Fleet Management and Governance

Take advantage of continuous, secure access to device inventory, health, and control throughout the system lifecycle, in development and production environments.

Reduced Costs

Identify and respond to performance, usability, and reliability problems early to reduce downtime and operational and maintenance costs.

Increased Satisfaction and Retention

Proactively identify and address inefficient workflows and training opportunities to ensure that users are realizing value.

New Revenue Opportunities

Perform experiments and analyze user behavior to discover new revenue opportunities and deliver more value.

KEY FEATURES

Visibility to Assets at the Edge

The small-footprint Studio Digital Feedback Loop Edge Agent leverages efficient bandwidth management and adjustable telemetry rates to provide reliable, cost-effective, real-time visibility into OS- and application-level status and data from edge devices. Out-of-the-box support for VxWorks^® and Wind River Linux ensure better data-driven decisions to optimize the health, performance, and maintenance of fielded systems.

Command-and-Control Center

Studio Digital Feedback Loop provides secure command and control, with role-based access controls and PKI-based secure communications over HTTPS, SSH, and TLS. All data is secure in transit and at rest, and the platform manages certificates and secrets to minimize exposure risks.

Enlist and manage devices at any scale, with flexible access via GUI, CLI, API, and integration with other tools. Robust search and filtering, bidirectional file transfer, and a customizable target command library enable targeted ad hoc and automated actions.

Flexible, Scalable Analytics

Studio Digital Feedback Loop provides a flexible data pipeline with hot, warm, and cold paths that provide real-time, near real-time, and offline data retention and analysis capabilities, respectively. Customizable data schemas enable access to data such as telemetry, logs, images, and events, and retention policies ensure that compliance and budget goals are met. Automatically send alerts and trigger actions at the edge based on analysis results.

Open Architecture

Studio Digital Feedback Loop is based on open technologies such as MQTT and Grafana, preventing cloud lock-in while ensuring compatibility with existing tooling and allowing data migration. While it is optimized for use with the broader Wind River Studio development, simulation, testing, and deployment environments, Studio Digital Feedback Loop includes integration with third-party data management and AI/ML platforms and provides a REST API for extensibility.

USE CASES

Secure Visibility into Fleet and Field Status

Studio Digital Feedback Loop registers all devices, and real-time parameter monitoring maintains continuous visibility into device status from the central Studio Digital Feedback Loop cloud platform.

Preventive Maintenance

Leverage Studio Digital Feedback Loop analytics to identify anomalous device conditions and trigger a maintenance alert or device shutdown.

Usage Patterns and Version Distribution in the Field

Usage data from fielded devices can be analyzed to understand field conditions, which versions are in use, and how products are used.

Experimentation in the Field

Deploy alternative implementations of new capabilities into the field and analyze usage data to evaluate which is more successful.

Improved Scalability

Identify devices with high load and trigger alerts or automated responses to increase capacity.
