Overview
How each tool is described
TrendMiner
What is TrendMiner?
TrendMiner, a Proemion company, provides self-service industrial analytics software for process engineers, operations teams, and reliability specialists. It combines time-series and contextual event analysis, pattern search, monitoring, machine learning, visualization, reporting, and newer agentic-AI workflows so plant experts can investigate operational problems without relying on data scientists for routine analysis.
- Industrial analysis: Engineers can explore historical process data, search for similar operating periods, compare batches and events, calculate new signals, investigate correlations, and develop hypotheses about root causes. Findings can then be turned into dashboards, calculated tags, monitors, and alerts that continue watching for the same conditions in live operations.
- AI and predictive workflows: TrendMiner supports machine-learning and predictive use cases such as anomaly detection, forecasting, classifications, and asset or process-performance monitoring. Its 2026 Analytics Agent adds natural-language investigation across historian, asset, and event data, can perform multistep root-cause analysis, and can create reports, dashboards, and monitoring workflows. TrendMiner also supports MCP connectivity and model-agnostic integration with external AI environments.
- Industrial connectivity: The platform connects to systems including AVEVA PI, AspenTech IP.21, GE Proficy, Honeywell PHD, Yokogawa Exaquantum, AWS IoT SiteWise, Microsoft Azure Data Explorer, Microsoft Fabric, SQL databases, Databricks, Snowflake, and other industrial data environments. Buyers should assess historian and contextual-data compatibility, network architecture, data quality, security boundaries, and the connector requirements for each source.
- Deployment: TrendMiner is available as a managed SaaS service, an on-premises installation, or a self-hosted deployment in private-cloud infrastructure such as Microsoft Azure or AWS. SaaS is currently described by TrendMiner as its preferred deployment model, while self-hosted options provide greater infrastructure and data-sovereignty control but place more configuration and maintenance responsibility on the customer.
TrendMiner is most relevant to process-manufacturing, energy, and other industrial organizations that already collect substantial historian and operational data and want plant experts to analyze it directly. Its value depends on data accessibility, user adoption, deployment architecture, and whether faster investigations and continuous monitoring translate into measurable improvements in process performance, reliability, quality, or energy use.
Seeq Analytics
What is Seeq Analytics?
Seeq is an industrial analytics, AI, and enterprise monitoring platform built for engineers, operations teams, and data scientists working with time-series process data. Its browser-based applications include Workbench for analysis, Organizer for reporting, Data Lab for Python workflows, and Vantage for monitoring large numbers of assets and operational events.
- Industrial analytics: Seeq Workbench provides no-code and low-code tools for cleansing data, defining operating periods, performing calculations, modeling behavior, making predictions, and investigating equipment or process performance. Its Formula language adds more advanced transformations and calculations when point-and-click tools are not sufficient.
- Reporting and enterprise monitoring: Organizer turns Workbench analyses into interactive dashboards and reports that can update with current data manually or on a schedule. Vantage provides a separate enterprise-monitoring workflow that aggregates conditions and events across large numbers of sensors and assets, helping teams triage and investigate predictive-maintenance issues, downtime, alarms, and other operational exceptions. Vantage requires additional licensing.
- Industrial data connectivity: Seeq connects directly to historians, SQL databases, data lakes, and other industrial data systems through supported connectors and Remote Agents. Connected source systems remain authoritative: Seeq retrieves and caches their data for calculation and visualization rather than replacing the historian or creating a new system of record. Buyers should therefore evaluate connector availability, network access, source-system performance, latency, and data quality.
- AI and Python workflows: Seeq AI Assistant includes agents for tasks such as writing formulas, performing analyses, creating Seeq content, assisting with reports, and automating repeatable multi-step workflows. Data Lab provides a JupyterLab environment with Python, the Seeq/Python library, machine-learning libraries, scheduled jobs, and custom analytics. AI availability is deployment- and license-dependent: the current AI Assistant is offered to eligible SaaS customers, while capabilities such as Agent Q and custom Agent Builder workflows require Seeq Intelligence licensing.
Seeq is most relevant to industrial organizations that already hold substantial process and asset data in historians or other operational systems and want engineers to analyze that data without repeatedly exporting it into spreadsheets or separate analytics silos. Its value depends on data connectivity, engineering adoption, monitoring scale, licensing requirements, and whether faster analysis and exception-based monitoring can materially improve operational decisions across assets and plants.
