Modern control systems make wide usage of different IT technologies and complex computational techniques to render the data gathered accessible from different locations and devices, as well as to understand and even predict the behavior of the systems under supervision. The Industrial Controls Engineering (ICE) Group of the EN Department develops and maintains more than 150 vital controls applications for a number of strategic sectors at CERN like the accelerator, the experiments and the central infrastructure systems. All these applications are supervised by MOON, a very successful central monitoring and configuration tool developed by the group that has been in operation 24/7 since 2011. The basic functionality of MOON was presented in previous editions of these series of conferences. In this contribution we focus on the high-level functionality recently added to the tool to grant access to multiple users through the web and mobile devices to the data gathered, as well as a first attempt to data analytics with the goal of identifying useful information to support developers during the optimization of their systems and help in the daily operations of the systems.
