Your Operations Hub
Finally Working
Proficy Operations Hub is the most powerful operations analytics platform in the Velotic Proficy Suite. Most plants turn it on once and then abandon it. Rain Engineering builds the data model, configures the dashboards, and connects every source so your operations hub actually drives decisions.
Six Reasons Your Operations Hub Isn’t Delivering
Proficy Operations Hub is one of the most capable operations analytics platforms on the market. But without a specialist’s configuration, these six problems show up — every time.
Data No One Acts On
Your plant generates thousands of data points per second. Without a contextual model, Operations Hub shows raw tags — not actionable production insights. Operators look at it once, then return to spreadsheets.
Dormant License, Zero ROI
Operations Hub ships bundled with every Proficy Historian license. Thousands of manufacturers own it and haven’t activated it — or tried to and hit a wall at the data connectivity step.
Paper Rounds Still Running
If your operators still carry clipboards to record production counts, quality checks, or downtime reasons — that’s a connected worker problem Operations Hub can solve. But only with the right workflow configuration.
ERP and MES Still Disconnected
Proficy operations analytics require data from multiple sources — Historian, Plant Applications, iFIX, CIMPLICITY, and ERP. Without integration expertise, each system remains a silo that Operations Hub can’t bridge.
No Mobile Visibility for Supervisors
Operations Hub is built on HTML5 — any browser, any device, anywhere. But the screens have to be designed for mobile use. Out-of-the-box templates are built for desktop. Your supervisors never got the mobile experience they were promised.
CSense AI Going Unused
Proficy operations analytics include embedded machine learning through CSense — anomaly detection, predictive alerts, performance trend analysis. Almost no one has it running. Rain Engineering configures CSense as part of a complete Operations Hub deployment.
What is Proficy Operations Hub?
Operations Intelligence Software for the Modern Plant Floor
Proficy Operations Hub from Velotic is a centralized, web-based operations analytics platform that connects real-time and historical data from across your entire operation — Historian, HMI/SCADA, MES, ERP, and third-party systems — into composable dashboards accessible from any browser, on any device.
What Changes When Rain Engineering Implements Operations Hub
Every row below is a real scenario Rain Engineering has resolved for manufacturing customers running Proficy Operations Hub.
| Area | Without a Specialist Partner | With Rain Engineering |
|---|---|---|
| Data Model | Raw tag names in dashboards — meaningless to operators | Full asset hierarchy and contextual data model built before any screen is designed |
| License Activation | Operations Hub license sits dormant — bundled with Historian but never configured | License activated, environment configured, and first live dashboard delivered by Week 2 |
| Data Sources | Only Historian connected — MES, SCADA, and ERP remain siloed | All sources integrated: Historian, Plant Applications, iFIX/CIMPLICITY, ERP via REST/OPC UA/SQL |
| Operations Analytics | Default widgets showing disconnected KPIs with no production context | Proficy operations analytics configured to your production model — OEE, quality, throughput, downtime by line |
| Connected Worker | Paper clipboards still in use for shift logs and quality checks | Digital operator consoles replace paper rounds — data entry, shift handoffs, quality forms all in the operations hub |
| Mobile Access | Desktop-only views — supervisors can’t check production from the floor | Responsive, mobile-optimized role-based dashboards accessible on any device, anywhere |
| AI Analytics | CSense ML capability available but unconfigured — no anomaly detection running | CSense configured for anomaly detection, trend analysis, and predictive alerts as part of the full deployment |
What Customers Implement First
Every plant is different. These are the three most common starting points — each delivers value within weeks, not months.
Operators and supervisors get role-specific views of the plant — real-time values from Historian, alarm status from SCADA, and production targets from ERP — all in one browser window on any device.
Maintenance techs, quality inspectors, and line leads get targeted mobile views — equipment status, SOPs, inspection checklists, and work orders — tied to live Historian data without requiring a seat license for each user.
Operations Hub extends your existing SCADA investment with modern, browser-based views that pull from the same live data. You keep the SCADA system doing what it does best while adding the reporting, trending, and contextual layers it was never designed for.
Different roles. Different wins. Same platform.
How Rain Engineering Helps with Operations Hub
The product is only part of the story.
Operations Hub requires context — about your processes, your data, your people. That’s where the real configuration work happens. That’s what Rain Engineering does.
AtriCure: What happens when Rain Engineering deploys the right system
“Systems are complicated. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Results were better than anticipated.”
— Chuck Kirkendall, Sr. Manager, Demand Planning & Inventory Management at AtriCure
AtriCure manufactures cardiac devices across 30 work centers. Manual scheduling via Excel was creating WIP buildup, late deliveries, and capacity uncertainty during a period of double-digit growth. Rain Engineering deployed a connected solution — integrating scheduling, shop floor data, and ERP — with results that exceeded projections.

Operations Hub & Proficy Operations Analytics — FAQs
Proficy Operations Hub is a web-based operations intelligence platform from Velotic (formerly GE Vernova) that centralizes real-time and historical data from Historian, HMI/SCADA, MES, ERP, and third-party systems into composable dashboards — accessible from any browser, on any device, anywhere. It enables monitoring, data entry, analysis, and control without thick-client software. Rain Engineering configures and implements Operations Hub for manufacturing environments.
Proficy operations analytics refers to the analysis capabilities built into the Proficy Operations Hub platform — including OEE tracking, production KPI dashboards, trend analysis, root cause investigation tools, and CSense AI-powered anomaly detection. Rain Engineering configures these analytics to match each customer’s specific production environment, asset hierarchy, and reporting requirements.
Many manufacturers own an Operations Hub license — it ships bundled with Proficy Historian — but have never activated it, or activated it without a data model, leaving dashboards empty and unusable. Rain Engineering builds the contextual data model first: tag strategy, asset hierarchy, KPI definitions. Without this foundation, Operations Hub shows raw data. With it, it shows actionable operations analytics. That’s the difference between shelfware and a platform your team relies on daily.
With Rain Engineering’s implementation methodology, most customers see their first live operations analytics dashboard by Week 2. Core configuration — data model, integrations, role-based dashboards — is complete by Week 8. Full connected worker rollout and training is typically complete by Month 4. The timeline depends on integration complexity and the number of data sources involved.
Proficy Operations Hub connects to Proficy Historian, iFIX, CIMPLICITY, Proficy Plant Applications (MES), ERP systems (SAP, Oracle), and third-party sources via REST APIs, OPC UA, SQL, and GraphQL. Rain Engineering handles all integration configuration, ensuring clean, contextualized data flows into every dashboard — so the proficy operations analytics your team sees are accurate and trustworthy.
Yes. Operations Hub includes data entry widgets, workflow triggers, and operator console views that digitize paper rounds, shift handoffs, and manual production logging. Rain Engineering designs the operator-facing screens to match your floor’s actual workflows — so adoption happens on day one, not after months of change management. This is the connected worker capability that most plants leave unused.
Rain Engineering implements Proficy Operations Hub across medical device manufacturing, automotive, food & beverage, injection molding, packaging, utilities, and specialty manufacturing environments. Any manufacturer running Proficy Historian is a candidate — they likely already have an Operations Hub license and don’t know it.
Let’s find out if you already own Operations Hub.
Many Proficy Historian customers already have an Operations Hub Freemium license. A 30-minute call with Rain Engineering is all it takes to find out — and see what your first dashboard could look like.
