From Real-Time Awareness to Decision-Ready Control Panels

Industrial organizations no longer want to choose between real-time visibility and structured reporting. Today, the expectation is clear: one environment that supports operational awareness, analytical insight, and decision-making — all based on the same trusted data.

That is why Smart RDM integrates advanced dashboarding based on Grafana — not as an external reporting tool, but as a native and deeply embedded part of the Smart RDM platform.

Grafana dashboards — integrated, contextual, and secure

Thanks to seamless integration with Grafana Labs technology, Smart RDM provides dashboards that go far beyond classic visualizations. Grafana panels operate directly on industrial, energy, and business data managed within Smart RDM — without duplicated pipelines, manual exports, or fragmented access rules. This enables:

• real-time situational awareness based on live OT and IT data,
• dashboards embedded in Smart RDM’s asset hierarchy and data model, not isolated charts,
• consistent views shared across operations, engineering, energy management, and management,
• centralized security, access control, and auditability, inherited automatically by dashboards,
• direct links between dashboards, alarms, events, analytics, and decision-support functions.

As a result, Grafana becomes a coherent visualization layer inside Smart RDM — aligned with how organizations actually operate and make decisions.

From dashboards to decision-support widgets

In Smart RDM, dashboards are not the final destination. Grafana panels serve as reusable building blocks for higher-level functionality. On their basis, Smart RDM allows users to create widgets that can be easily embedded across decision-support modules, operational views, and management cockpits.

These widgets transform static dashboards into composable elements of everyday decision workflows. In practice:

• panels created in Grafana can be reused as widgets across multiple Smart RDM views,
• the same analytical logic supports operational, tactical, and managerial perspectives,
• dashboards are no longer duplicated for different users or roles,
• operational detail and high-level KPIs coexist in one consistent environment.

Personalized managerial cockpits — a bird’s-eye view of what matters

Every Smart RDM user can build their own personalized control panel — a managerial or operational cockpit tailored to their role, responsibilities, and area of interest. Such a cockpit provides a bird’s-eye view of everything that matters:

• current process and energy performance,
• deviations from targets and expected behavior,
• alarms, incidents, and emerging risks,
• key trends and indicators relevant to the user’s scope.

All of this is configured without creating separate applications or reports. Users simply compose their control panels from trusted, governed widgets derived from Grafana dashboards.

From visibility to decisions

By embedding Grafana-based dashboards and widgets directly into Smart RDM’s decision-support layer, the platform closes the gap between seeing data and acting on it.

What users gain is not just reporting or monitoring, but context-aware situational insight — enabling faster reactions, better prioritization, and more confident decisions at every organizational level.
