Time to read: 9 minutes  Posted by Torey Penrod-Cambra 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. Introducing the Intelligence Hub version 2.3: Data conditioning, data pipeline monitoring & more4/5/2022
Time to read: 6 minutes  Posted by John Harrington 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. Time to read: 7 minutes  Posted by Omar Ahmed Based on my conversations with more than 500 manufacturing companies and integrators over the past five years, I believe the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) will continue to be a paramount part of the manufacturing landscape in 2021. The new year will bring a continued increase in digitalization across enterprises. While we have seen an increase in “digital transformation” initiatives among manufacturing companies for several years, the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges it created for production, safety, remote access, and supply chain have accelerated the urgency to make digitalization a reality. I also believe IIoT projects will continue to scale because of changes we are seeing in people, processes, and technology.
Here are five predictions for 2021. Time to read: 7 minutes  Posted by Aron Semle Industry 4.0 solutions start with the same problem. How do I collect critical data from the factory floor? This sounds easy, but in reality, factory floors are highly heterogenous environments. It's common to have a newer machine that is highly connected sitting next to a 30-year-old machine with no connectivity at all. This forces teams to get creative. They might use an OPC UA server for one machine, SQL for the next, and retrofit another with new sensors that publish data via REST or MQTT. Each situation is unique, and teams need flexible solutions to leverage the connectivity options they have in place today.
That’s why I am excited to announce the release of HighByte Intelligence Hub version 1.3. This release is full of new capabilities that allow our customers to gather data from many sources in the factory, rapidly add context to the data, and reliably deliver it to their platforms of choice. These additional capabilities greatly expand the connectivity options available to our customers. Here are the highlights: |
