Operating at scale with dashboards
Nominal’s mission: equip engineers to deploy capability at scale in the shortest time possible.
In order to scale mission-critical systems, organizations need to optimize their engineer:asset ratio. Operators need powerful tools to continuously monitor fleets of assets, whether their assets are deployed underwater, in air, or in space. For many of Nominal’s customers, that means 3D dashboards.
But traditional 3D dashboards have historically been expensive, inflexible, and ineffective. Teams often fill this need with outdated software, or else dedicate extensive resources to build bespoke internal tools. In both cases, these solutions are (1) ill-equipped to handle the complexity and data-scale of modern asset networks and (2) over-fitted to particular use-cases – inflexible in the face of new assets, behavior, or mission environments.
Nominal Connect is changing this historical reality.
Nominal Connect: Flexible 3D applications
Nominal Connect is building the most advanced 3d simulation, mission replay, and asset monitoring environment that has ever been available to Python engineers. This includes the ability to visualize an arbitrary number of physical assets, each with independent behavior. With Nominal Connect, one engineer can deploy a monitoring dashboard for a 7,000-satellite constellation – in a single afternoon.
Standing on the shoulders of recent advancements in Rust and wgpu, Connect is bringing a new era of 3d engineering visualization to the Python ecosystem. Unlike outdated or internal tools, Connect seamlessly scales to display thousands of assets in real-time without performance degradation. These displays can range from a few square meters to planetary (or multi-planetary) scale. Nominal’s customers can easily visualize all of their assets in one place, no matter what they are or where they might be.
This powerful performance is paired with modern, intuitive UI. We built Connect from the ground-up with interoperability and flexibility in mind. With its Python-based ecosystem, Connect seamlessly handles any data input format. If Python isn’t your language of choice, Connect can also orchestrate Rust scripts, bash scripts, LabVIEW VIs, or a polygot combination of each. And as an app-building framework, Connect dashboards can be quickly tailored and adapted to specific customer requirements.
Automated end-to-end monitoring
Nominal does more than just visualize assets – it provides the end-to-end solution engineers need to immediately act on real-time insights.
Connect integrates seamlessly with Nominal Core, the analytics and data warehouse backbone of the Nominal platform. Using Nominal’s automated checks & horizontally-scalable cloud compute, 3D dashboards can automatically highlight any anomalies based on pre-determined validation logic. Once the anomaly is flagged, operators can triage the issue, cross-reference historical performance data, and quickly pinpoint root causes, all within the same integrated ecosystem.
Monitoring fleets of thousands of assets is challenging. With Nominal, operators no longer need to choose between cumbersome legacy tools and costly internal development. Nominal delivers the powerful, automated, adaptable dashboards that equip engineers to operate complex systems at scale.
