Time to read: 5 minutes The real value of Industry 4.0 is realized when manufacturers unlock the power of analytics. With the addition of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), organizations can transform raw data into predictive, meaningful insights. But manufacturers must first overcome a structural barrier to connect their process historians with their analytical applications. This is where HighByte Intelligence Hub comes into play. The latest release of the Intelligence Hub extends connectivity from enterprise systems to historian and time-series database applications, including PI System and InfluxDB. It removes a major disconnect between operational technologies (OT) and the business systems where organizational leaders access the information to make strategic decisions. Time to read: 7 minutes When I first joined the HighByte team, I knew two things. First, modeling industrial data is immensely powerful. After spending a decade interacting with tags and seeing firsthand how building context from tags in the Cloud is painful, I knew that modeling data at the Edge would be a game changer. The second thing I knew is that we were going to build a lot of connectors. This is par for the course in the industrial world where a mix of legacy and new equipment is the norm. We started with the most common and generalized standards, like OPC UA, HTTP, MQTT, and SQL to cast a wide net for connectivity options inside the factory. But it was clear that as we progressed, the market would demand explicit connectors for common systems. That is why I am excited to announce new connectors in version 2.2 for OSIsoft PI System (now part of the AVEVA portfolio), InfluxDB, and Oracle Database. All three connectors support both reading and writing data, and interacting with these systems in advanced ways, without needing to read a manual. |
