Process-intensive operators in diverse sectors such as oil and gas, power generation, renewables, steel, pulp
and paper, and others are increasingly optimizing the efficiency of their plants by gaining a single, plant-wide
digital view of their operations.

A connected facility supported by a powerful condition-monitoring platform, such as Bently Nevada’s System
1, can turn wide-ranging asset data into focused, actionable insights that help teams across all industries
make smarter, proactive maintenance decisions.

Recently, Bently Nevada launched its next-generation condition monitoring and protection platform, the Orbit

60 Series, which is built on a highly scalable architecture and specifically designed for cybersecure machinery
protection.

Making Streaming IIoT Data Actionable
Because Orbit 60 is based on a data-driven architecture that must handle high volumes of streaming IIoT datafrom hundreds or thousands of devices, an important concern was the ability to create visualizations that
could handle the live, streaming data and make it accessible to users in meaningful ways.

“Instead of overwhelming our end users with a seemingly infinite list of columns in a data grid,” says Craig

Campbell, Senior Staff Software Architect, “we wanted to make it easier to see the important information, at ahigh level, and then let them decide if they wanted to dig deeper into the data.”

Gaining Grid Flexibility with Infragistics
A long-time user of Infragistics UI toolkits, Bently Nevada decided that the Infragistics Ultimate toolkit offered
the type of flexibility and performance needed for Orbit 60.

“We demoed the ability of the Infragistics Data Grid to group columns and nest rows to our Technical ProductManagers” says Campbell, “and this inspired them to rethink how they could present the data to the end user,which was not possible with an earlier static grid.”

An important feature of the Infragistics grid is the ability for developers to use custom editing features

dynamically, per cell. Bently Nevada’s applications require this flexibility because they display data in different
cells in a variety of formats. The Infragistics data grid allows many options such as drop-down menus,
specialized buttons to open dialog boxes, and many others.

“Cody Worsnop, Lead Developer at Bently Nevada“This capability allows a developer to work with the grid and interact with complex Bently domain data models
seamlessly and with almost no turnaround time,” says lead developer, Cody Worsnop.

Other critical features that were built into the grid included sorting, filtering, pinning, reordering, grouping, andnesting, also reducing development time and enabling Bently Nevada to get to market faster.

“Part of our challenge is we need controls and components that offer high performance and have been tested
and documented,” says Campbell. “We don’t have control developers, so we rely on Infragistics. They are

Value of Infragistics
While Bently Nevada has seen a range of benefits from Infragistics Ultimate, Campbell sums up the key
features that he believes make Infragistics Ultimate worth the cost:•••

Styling - “It’s easy to create custom styles to fit our application theme.”

Functionality - “There’s a good deal of functionality in each control along withproperties that allow us to modify the functionality, and these are well defined anddiscoverable.”

Extendibility - “We can extend the controls through attached behaviors or derived
classes, which allows us to add functionality that we are missing.”“We look to Infragistics to also help us deliver a great user experience,” says Global Technology Executive,
Vikas Desai. “One of our key pillars for all of our systems is the need to provide a better user experience.

And when we use Infragistics’ controls, those features are embedded into it — they are user-friendly, moreintuitive, and they contribute to the application’s user interface.”
