Prefekt is an open source tool, that analyses performance profiles captured from
analysis and simulation of both digital twins and real traffic of factory
production environment (corresponding components, information system, ERP
systems, etc.).
The main use case of the Prefekt is for detecting anomalies in performance of
individual components in the environment---the machines, the terminals, ERP
(Enterprise Resource Planning) systems and the PIS (Production Information
System)---as well as during the process of their analysis and simulation.
The tool is mainly meant to be used together with the latest extension of the
Tyrant tool, that can generate scenario for simulation of digital twins as well
as performance profiles.
The tool (and its process) works in the following phases:
1. Prefekt unifies source performance profiles (that can be either in form of
a file in JSON format or a query to remote elastic search engine) and
creates two data frames (tables) corresponding to baseline (expected) and
target (analysed) performance.
2. The dataframes are divided to smaller data frames corresponding to each
unique type of resources in the profiles (e.g. the duration of the testing,
or the CPU usage) and zipped to pairs of baseline and target dataframes.
3. For each unique pair of resources types, the correlation coeeficient is
computed. Resources that are highly correlated with other resource types
(e.g. CPU and memory usage in many use cases) are then skipped from
analysis.
4. For each pair of baseline and target resources, Prefect detects potential
anomalies and reports the difference between the models of the resources as
well as effect size of the change.
