OmnAIView is an open-source platform for recording, visualising, and analysing time-series data.

The coffee machine breaks, the car won’t start, the train is delayed and on the way you get an email from the boss: the circuit boards shipped to the customer were faulty.

Why can’t we spot these things sooner?

Order a new coffee-machine part two weeks before it fails? Get the car into the shop before the check-engine light comes on? Quickly test the PCBs so nothing goes wrong for the customer?

Put simply: even in an age of data, data, and still more data, extracting real insight and even collecting the data in the first place, remains surprisingly hard.

OmnAIView solves this problem

Not as a magic wand that orders the spare part for your coffee machine before you even know it’s broken, but as a tool that tells you when your coffee machine, car, or circuit boards start behaving strangely and why (ideally before you notice anything is wrong).

OmnAIView is an open-source platform for recording, visualising, and analysing time-series data. This is data that has a time stamp, such as a day-long temperature curve.

Via two simple interfaces the software can

• • ingest data from any source

  • run any analysis on those data

all inside one application.

How to use it 

• • Sensors record the data.

  • OmnAIView visualises the data and provides a UI.

  • Analysis modules evaluate the data and return feedback

In Practice

A device in your car records signals and sends them to the software. OmnAIView analyses them and shows you the result. You don’t need to understand the maths behind it.

The concept is currently being built as an open-source Angular project on GitHub. Thanks to the open interfaces, any other language can plug in as well. The current status can be found at https://github.com/omnai-project/OmnAIView  . Live updates of the software progress are posted on our social channels.

If you’re technically minded you’re already wondering: What in the car, coffee machine, train, or PCB actually captures the data and ships it off?

In theory anything. A Raspberry Pi sensor on the coffee machine, an oscilloscope streaming digitised signals… paradise for tinkerers, a headache for anyone who doesn’t want to build custom hardware.

That’s why the OmnAI Project develops not only the (free) software, but also measurement hardware that’s ready to send data straight to it.

Current sensors include an oscilloscope, E-field probe, B-field probe, temperature probes, and pressure probes.

First device on the market  is the (pre-release): OmnAIScope – an oscilloscope the size of a finger.

Plug-and-play into your laptop. Two clicks later you’re capturing and viewing voltage data.

In combustion engines, the timing chain slackens over time. Wait for the check-engine light and damage is often done. Regularly measuring cam-shaft and crank-shaft signals prevents this.

Attach two OmnAIScopes – one to each sensor. Connect them to a laptop running OmnAIView; the software displays live data.

The phase shift between the signals reveals timing-chain wear long before the ECU complains. One click launches an analysis, even without expertise you see the chain’s condition in seconds.
