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. 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.

Rest assured that HighByte is committed to putting security first in its design and implementation of its software solutions. Our industry recognizes that a defense-in-depth strategy must be employed when building out a technology stack from various components. This not only applies to an end-user’s use of applications and equipment from various vendors, but even more so by vendors who develop solutions that pull in third-party technology or tap into interfaces and standards that allow for seamless integration with foreign sources of data and information. 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. |
