Extensions

Optional extensions for DataForeman — add AI forecasting, advanced analytics, and more to your historian platform.

Extend DataForeman with optional add-ons

Extensions are optional packages that add capabilities beyond the core platform. They are installed through the DataForeman UI and run as separate Docker services — no changes to the core installation required.


Forecast Extension

● Available

Add AI-powered time-series forecasting directly to your historian data. The Forecast extension uses Amazon Chronos-2, a state-of-the-art foundation model for time-series prediction — running entirely on your own hardware with no cloud dependency.

  • ✅ Predict future values for any tag or calculated signal
  • ✅ Two model sizes: Chronos-2 (120M, highest accuracy) and Chronos-2 Small (28M, faster)
  • ✅ Runs locally — data never leaves your network
  • ✅ Model downloads automatically on first use (~700 MB), cached after that
  • ✅ Configurable horizon, context window, and sampling parameters

― Context: up to 8192 points
― Runs on CPU
― 100% local

Advanced Math Extension

⚙ Early Access

Extends Flow Studio with advanced mathematical processing nodes for time-series signals and industrial calculations. Adds a dedicated Advanced section inside the Logic & Math node category — no configuration required beyond installation.

  • Rate of Change — detect how fast a signal is changing per unit time
  • Rolling Average — smooth noisy signals with a configurable sliding window
  • 🔜 Counter / Totalizer — accumulate values or count events over time (coming next)
  • ✅ Lightweight — no additional services, runs inside the core engine
  • ✅ Works with any numeric tag or calculated signal
