Feature Description

Warning

The weather importer can support you by providing historical weather information of a machine that faces a problem that might be related to the weather conditions.
After activating the Historical Weather Data feature, the historical weather information is persisted.

Use Cases

Machines can operate under different weather conditions.
Weather conditions might have an impact on the operability of a machine and the quality of the work result of the machine.
When the Historical Weather Data feature is active it will create a history timeseries of weather data which can be used for later analysis.
In case a machine did not deliver sufficient quality in the past, the Historical Weather Data feature can be used to check whether this happened due to the weather conditions at that time.

Activation

In the DataPortal, you can activate the Historical Weather Data feature via the Feature Switch, see Feature Switch.
The Historical Weather Data feature is a paid DataPortal feature.
To enable this feature, contact your Proemion representative.
