Seeq Corporation is a software company, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, United States. [1] Seeq provides analytics software to various industrial process manufacturing sectors, including pharmaceutical, oil and gas, mining, pulp and paper, energy, utilities, IIoT, and chemicals. [2] [3] [4] [5] Seeq's browser-based software is designed for use with time series data, which is most often aggregated in data historians such as OSIsoft's PI system, Inductive Automation's Ignition system and other similar data historians such as Emerson's Ovation and DeltaV, GE Proficy, Honeywell's Uniformance PHD, Wonderware, and AspenTech IP.21, as well as many others. [6] [7]

Seeq's applications allow organizations to analyze their data to improve business outcomes. [3] Workbench, one of Seeq's applications, includes data visualization, data modeling, and interactive tools for diagnostic, monitoring, predictive, and descriptive analytics. [8] It also includes Google-like search, knowledge-capture, and collaboration tools. Seeq Organizer facilitates the creation of documents, consolidating analyses and visualizations into reports, presentations, and meeting agendas. Documents created in Organizer directly link to the underlying data. They are also 'time-relative', meaning they can be categorized based on parameters like batch, shift, or day. Seeq Runtime performs continuous data cleansing, boundary management, and streaming calculations on historian data. The runtime, which is accessed through either Seeq Workbench or the Seeq REST API, runs autonomously and may be integrated with existing alarm systems or dashboard solutions.

Seeq can be swiftly set up, with installations on a dedicated server, server cluster, or virtual machine possible in less than an hour. On-premise installations on the same network as a plant or enterprise historian, on the cloud (Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, etc.), or on a mixed environment of on-premise and cloud resources are supported. Seeq is extensible through data export, data integration, and a REST API for creating custom templates and modules. Data export options include Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, and any OData client (Tableau, Microsoft PowerBI, etc.). Data integration with OSIsoft Vision is supported, and the REST API has SDKs for programming in C#, Python, MatLab, and Java. Unlike some systems, Seeq doesn't duplicate data from its original source. Rather, Seeq uses a connector that retrieves data in real-time, based on user actions. Seeq securely stores all documents, including workbooks, worksheets, topics, and search definitions, ensuring easy access and sharing for users.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">NodeXL</span> Network analysis and visualization package for Microsoft Excel

NodeXL is a network analysis and visualization software package for Microsoft Excel 2007/2010/2013/2016. The package is similar to other network visualization tools such as Pajek, UCINet, and Gephi. It is widely applied in ring, mapping of vertex and edge, and customizable visual attributes and tags. NodeXL enables researchers to undertake social network analysis work metrics such as centrality, degree, and clustering, as well as monitor relational data and describe the overall relational network structure. When applied to Twitter data analysis, it showed the total network of all users participating in public discussion and its internal structure through data mining. It allows social Network analysis (SNA) to emphasize the relationships rather than the isolated individuals or organizations, allowing interested parties to investigate the two-way dialogue between organizations and the public. SNA also provides a flexible measurement system and parameter selection to confirm the influential nodes in the network, such as in-degree and out-degree centrality. The software contains network visualization, social network analysis features, access to social media network data importers, advanced network metrics, and automation.
