Time to read: 6 minutes ![]() When it comes to data collection, who are you really serving? That objective often gets lost amid the OT/IT alignment discussions. Anyone who has embarked on a digital transformation project is likely familiar with the data silos that exist between their OT and IT departments. But we don’t spend enough time talking about how to make that data usable for the line of business. Our line of business colleagues (and their systems of record) are the ultimate customer. The use of IoT-enabled devices is increasing the availability of operational data. IDC has projected there will be 41.6 million IoT devices in the field generating 79.4 zettabytes of data by 2025. These devices include machines, sensors, and cameras as well as industrial tools. To truly make that data usable, we need to merge this data with information from other systems and provide context for line of business users. In an industrial environment, these users include quality, maintenance, engineering, R&D, regulatory, and product management. Time to read: 9 minutes ![]() It’s been inspiring to see the wide variety of ways customers are using HighByte Intelligence Hub to conquer Industry 4.0 use cases that previously seemed impossible. From creating contextualized electronic batch reports to improving first run yield, predicting asset maintenance, performing real-time analytics on UNS data, and gaining enterprise-wide performance visibility across multiple sites with different systems—customers are using the Intelligence Hub in increasingly more sophisticated ways. With more sophisticated use cases comes the need for more sophisticated tools for scalability and connectivity in the Intelligence Hub. That’s why I am so excited to introduce HighByte Intelligence Hub version 2.4. With new instance and input templates and parameters, global functions, custom conditions, OPC collection, and more, the latest release takes a giant leap forward in terms of scalability and data pipeline automation. I sat down with my friend and colleague John Harrington, Chief Product Officer at HighByte, to learn more about version 2.4 and what these new capabilities will mean for our customers. Time to read: 7 minutes ![]() The efforts of standards organizations like OPC Foundation, Eclipse Foundation (Sparkplug), ISA, CESMII, and MTConnect represent a significant step forward for the advancement of Industry 4.0 in manufacturing. But industry standards only go so far. Businesses need data to tell the story of what is happening, why it is happening, and how to fix it. Multiple pieces of information must be assembled with other pieces of information from other sources to tell the use case story—just like words must be combined into sentences and sentences combined to form stories. Data standards can’t tell the use case story—they can only provide a dictionary. Standardizing the device-level data into structures is key, but only the beginning. Data standards alone will not solve your interoperability problems because they don’t provide the use case related context you need to make strategic decisions. Here are four key reasons why you still need an Industrial DataOps solution like the Intelligence Hub—even with the introduction or evolution of new standards. Introducing the Intelligence Hub version 2.3: Data conditioning, data pipeline monitoring & more4/5/2022
Time to read: 6 minutes ![]() Real-time performance monitoring is a crucial element of the Industry 4.0 revolution. Advanced analytics allow you to view or even predict anomalies in operational processes, such as asset performance, defects, or production bottlenecks in real time. But what about the integrity of data flows? As you become more reliant on analytics, disruptions to data collection, modeling, preparation, and delivery will reduce your operational agility, and could cause production delays, scrap, and other business challenges. You need confidence that you have reliable data when you need it. This is where HighByte Intelligence Hub version 2.3 comes in. The latest release of the Intelligence Hub enables you to condition raw data, view flow and connection status in the user interface, and easily monitor data pipelines at scale using the Intelligence Hub or your preferred third-party system-monitoring applications, like Splunk and Datadog. The release is packed with enhancements that make developing and troubleshooting data pipelines easier than ever. |
