Proficy CSense Update: Comprehensive AI/ML-Powered Industrial Analytics
Harness the power of industrial analytics to achieve measurable performance improvements in manufacturing.
In this webinar from GE Vernova’s Proficy 2025 series, Cobus Van Heerden, Senior Product Manager for Industrial AI Software, will discuss how Proficy CSense helps manufacturers address process variability, optimize production, and achieve multiple goals such as increased productivity, improved quality, reduced energy consumption, and lower emissions.
What you'll learn in this video:
- Why process variability is the number one enemy of productivity and how CSense helps stabilize operations despite aging assets, changing raw materials and dynamic energy markets.
- How modern manufacturers are moving to multi-objective optimization, balancing productivity, quality, raw material usage, energy costs, and emissions into a single strategy.
- Proficy CSense's five key capabilities: data analytics, monitoring, forecasting and prediction, simulation, and closed-loop optimization, powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning.
- Real customer success stories showing up to 10% improvement in KPIs like recovery, productivity, energy efficiency, and reduced downtime—sometimes even more.
- How CSense enables plant teams to move from offline analysis to real-time, autonomous optimization by deploying models on-premises, at the edge, or in the cloud, without being locked into a single architecture.
- Details on free CSense runtimes included with GE Vernova's iFIX, CIMPLICITY, and Historian, plus ready-to-use models for alarm pattern detection, PID monitoring, sensor health checks, and predictive quality.
- What are the next steps in the Proficy CSense roadmap, including upcoming SaaS options and new analytics models to accelerate time to value.
Whether you're looking to equip your engineers with troubleshooting tools, reduce manual adjustment of control loops, or move to fully autonomous plant operations, this session shows how Proficy CSense can help you maximize asset and process performance, ensuring greater profitability and sustainability.

AI and Machine Learning to improve the performance of assets and processes thanks to the Digital Twin
01 Extract new insights from data
Using Proficy CSense allows engineers to quickly troubleshoot the performance of continuous, discrete or batch manufacturing processes by extracting insights from available sensor and manufacturing data. The connectivity in REAL-TIME, the rich visualization and the tools of predictive analytics allow users to analyze operational scenarios, quantifying the impact operational changes will have on key performance metrics and identifying the causes of performance variation.
02 Improving production through analysis of yield, quality and efficiency
Proficy Csense's architecture allows engineers to rapidly develop analytical solutions that improve production (through advanced OEE, quality and efficiency analysis) by a significant margin. A complete development environment that provides pre-built analytical tools: this allows users to quickly build predictive analysis and control optimization systems in real time. The development of the screens takes place through simple drag-and-drop actions, both as regards the sampling of data from different sources and as regards their display on the screen. Each "block" created is saved as a reusable template to be replicated thanks to the Action Object Manager of Proficy CSense.
03 Improve the productivity of engineers
Proficy CSense'sArchitect also makes it easier for engineers to combine expert knowledge and best practices – combined with insights mined from data with Proficy CSense'sTroubleshooter – into high-value analytical models for rapid enterprise-wide redeployment. Drag-and-drop analytics creation accelerates time-to-value and reduces reliance on data scientists and programmers. Proficy CSense interactive training and online demos enable rapid mastery of the software with easy-to-follow demonstrations and guided simulations.
04 Leverage modern analytic visualization for faster response
Take advantage of the modern thin-client visualization thanks to the installation of Proficy Operations Hub (included in the license): a Web-Based tool that puts Industrial Analitycs within reach of everyone, where and when they need it.
