WebTSM
Virtimo WebTSM (Web-based Timeseries Management) is a powerful module within the Virtimo Business Process Center (BPC), specifically designed for the efficient management and visualization of time series data. It serves as a central interface between users and complex time series backend systems, such as HAKOM PowerTSM.
The solution enables companies to clearly present, edit, and utilize large volumes of time-based data (e.g., load profiles, meter values, or prices) for further business processes.
Main Functions
WebTSM offers a comprehensive suite of tools for handling time series:
-
Central Data Access: Functions as a "Single Point of Contact" for time series data within the BPC.
-
Visualization: Presentation of data in flexible charts and tabular views.
-
Data Management: Creation, editing, and deletion of time series as well as writing values.
-
Metadata Management: Maintenance of additional information such as units, timestamp definitions, and other attributes.
-
Automation: Support for REST operations for integration into existing workflows and automated processes.
Components
The WebTSM module is divided into several specialized functional units:
WebTSM Viewer
The Viewer is the primary interface for the analysis and display of time series.
-
Flexible Display: Time series can be compared simultaneously in charts or tables.
-
Query Manager: Saving and recalling complex query configurations.
-
Export Functions: Exporting data into common formats such as XLSX (Excel), JSON, or as an image (JPG).
-
Dashboard Integration: Widgets for a quick overview directly on the BPC dashboard.
WebTSM Manager
The Manager is used for the administrative management of the time series structure.
-
Master Data Maintenance: Central management of units and definitions.
-
Batch Processing: Efficient processing of large volumes of time series data.
-
Template Management: Utilization of templates for the rapid creation of standardized time series.
-
User and Group Management: Control of access rights at the time series level.
Integration and Backend
WebTSM is closely linked with the HAKOM PowerTSM backend, enabling high-performance processing of mass data. Through integration into the Virtimo BPC, users benefit from a unified user interface and the seamless linking with other business processes (e.g., monitoring or collaboration).
Future enhancements include deeper cloud integration (e.g., HAKOM PowerTSM Cloud) and optimized caching mechanisms for extremely large data volumes.
Summary
With WebTSM, Virtimo provides a modern tool that reduces the complexity of time series management. It closes the gap between the technical storage of data and the functional application in operational business by creating transparency and ensuring data quality through intuitive editing tools.
