The Pani ZED™ machine-learning engine and predictive AI need a combination of historical and real-time data and a well-sensored plant to do their work. If possible, we recommend a minimum of 6 months of historical data in order to train the system. It's OK if this isn't available, it's better if more is available as well. The historical data affects how soon the AI can deliver its results. Less data may mean a longer period before significant optimization occurs (we optimize from day 1, but the engine needs to learn to get deep insights).
