Course Overview

This course provides a practical introduction to iSCAN, equipping you with the core skills needed to work confidently with building performance data and turn complex datasets into clear, actionable insight. It is designed for users who want a solid foundation in operational data analysis and monitoring.

You’ll learn how to set up iSCAN projects, manage users and roles, and import historical operational data from a wide range of sources. The course explains how data is structured within iSCAN, including channels, tagging conventions, and industry standards, helping you organise, interpret, and manage data consistently across projects.

Through guided examples and case studies, you’ll explore visualisation tools, reports, and dashboards, learning how to communicate performance effectively. The course also introduces expressions, alarms, and insights, and shows how iSCAN connects with IESVE models to support monitoring, verification, and continuous performance improvement.
