Overview

Application Modules provide the business logic and data processing capabilities that transform raw industrial data into actionable information. These modules handle database integration, custom scripting, and report generation - enabling you to implement complex calculations, integrate with enterprise systems, and generate documentation.

Together, they form the intelligence layer that processes collected data according to your business rules and requirements.

Where Application Modules Fit

Application Modules sit between data collection and visualization:

  • Receive from - Process Modules and Unified Namespace
