With the official discontinuation of Rockwell Automation’s FactoryTalk VantagePoint, effective March 2025, IT decision-makers and operational teams are seeking a robust FactoryTalk VantagePoint replacement to maintain and enhance their data visualization and reporting capabilities. VantagePoint has long been a strategic tool for operational insights, offering dashboards, reports, and data accessibility. However, the end of its lifecycle presents an opportunity to adopt a next-generation, more advanced, collaborative, and user-friendly platform.

Advanced Dashboard and Report Configuration with TrendMiner

VantagePoint allowed users to configure dashboards and generate reports for operational insights. TrendMiner not only matches this capability but elevates it with self-service configurability. This means that users across operations, regardless of technical expertise, can create and modify dashboards and trends in real-time, without relying on IT teams.

Seamless Production Data Access with TrendMiner

Access to production data is critical for informed decision-making. Like VantagePoint, TrendMiner provides simple data export options and robust data accessibility. But where TrendMiner shines is its intuitive search and filtering options, making it easier for users to retrieve and analyze historical and real-time data seamlessly.

Smart Alarm and Event Management with Predictive Alerts

VantagePoint users relied on its alarm and event management capabilities to monitor critical processes. TrendMiner’s alert and notification features offer equivalent functionality, with the added benefit of predictive alerts based on machine learning and soft sensoring. This empowers teams to anticipate potential issues before they disrupt operations.

Seamless Connectivity Across Data Sources with TrendMiner

Connectivity to diverse data sources is a hallmark of VantagePoint, and TrendMiner fully supports this requirement. Whether it’s time-series data from historians like PI, SCADA systems, or ERP data, TrendMiner ensures seamless integration, maintaining your data infrastructure’s integrity.

Added Value

Unlike VantagePoint, TrendMiner also offers powerful self-service analytics and monitoring capabilities, delivering unparalleled value to your operations team:

• Self-Service Analytics: TrendMiner’s advanced analytics allow engineers to perform root cause analysis, identify patterns, and optimize processes without needing data science expertise.
• Proactive Monitoring: Set up real-time monitoring and alerts to proactively address process deviations and inefficiencies.
• Remote Accessibility: TrendMiner can be used from any location and on any device. Whether you’re commuting to work on the train, on a business trip at the airport, or relaxing at the bar in your hometown, you remain in control of your plant’s operations.

These additional capabilities not only replace VantagePoint but significantly enhance operational agility and drive data-driven decision-making.
