Abstract: Predetermined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of an industrial process may be predicted. A plurality of tags each identify a corresponding KPI of the industrial process and historical values for the KPIs that are identified by the plurality of tags. A KPI forecast model is trained for each of the KPIs that are identified by the plurality of tags, wherein each of the KPI forecast models is trained based at least in part on the received historical values for at least some of the KPIs that are identified by the plurality of tags. A forecasted KPI value is generated for each of the KPIs identified by the plurality of tags based at least in part on the corresponding KPI forecast model that corresponds to the respective KPI.
