Why Use ARDI As A Backend?

What are the advantages of using ARDI as the backend of your application?

ARDI is vendor independent, meaning that it works with a huge variety of products. By connecting to ARDI, you're able to support a wide range of models, makes and equipment manufacturers.

ARDI uses simple REST-based APIs, allowing you to use common code-patterns and tools rather than needing to support and maintain a wide range of different ways of ingesting data.

ARDI systems can be installed on-site, meaning you don't need access to the cloud and can run on local networks. You can even install on embedded systems, allowing you to leverage ARDI data at a variety of application sizes.

ARDI makes data consistent, ensuring that your data sources always behave in a similar manner, even if the underlying source of data performs in unique ways.

ARDI helps consolidate data from multiple sources - not just for an individual machine, but combining information from sensor, control, scheduling, maintenance and planning systems in one place, giving you a much more complete perspective.

ARDI makes your points of data structured, organised and human-readable, meaning you can access information without detailed technical experience or site-specific knowledge.

ARDI helps eliminate differences between sites and customers, meaning you can use the same product on completely different systems that may include wildly different infrastructure.

If customers change their infrastructure (such as their databases or control systems), only the ARDI server needs to be updated. You don't need to maintain and release new updates to your software.

ARDI-based products can use our relationships and types to create dynamic solutions - products that adapt to changes in the customers systems.

This means that when new equipment is added or old equipment retired, your solution adapts to the new situation automatically - no maintenance or updates required.
