Abstract: Approaches are provided where, at a local computing device, time series data is received from an industrial component in a first format. This time series data additionally has a tag or identifier appended thereto and a quality setting. The tag is automatically converted to a descriptor used by an analytic system, and the time series data is converted to a format readable by the analytic system. This format is specified by at least a portion of an analytic system blueprint. The time series data is then transmitted to the analytic system such that the time series data and the descriptor are in a format that do not require additional conversions in order to be processed by the analytic system.
