We live in a time where attacks on critical infrastructure and the underlying software and hardware that comprise these systems is all too common and will only increase year over year. 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.

4 reasons to consider a multi-hub architecture for your Industrial DataOps deployment

Manufacturers and other industrial companies adopting Industry 4.0 want to make industrial data available at scale across the enterprise to drive business decisions. Yet as these companies connect more processes, systems, and machines, their data modeling and integration needs have become more complex.

Industrial DataOps solutions like HighByte Intelligence Hub provide an answer to this complexity. The software provides a dedicated data modeling management and abstraction layer that helps users streamline their data architecture and reduce time to deploy new systems. In fact, as companies have expanded their usage of HighByte Intelligence Hub, they’ve begun to implement deployment architectures beyond a single hub.
​

In a recent poll of HighByte Intelligence Hub users, we asked how many instances they plan to run at a single site. The results validated the demand for a multi-hub architecture: Half of the respondents expect to deploy two to five hubs per site; nearly one-quarter said they plan to use six to 10 hubs per location.

6 reasons to clean data at the Edge

How much time do you spend cleaning data?
 
If your factory is like most connected operations, you probably have tons of raw data streaming from connected devices to existing enterprise systems, bespoke databases, and a cloud data lake. This architecture often leads to inconsistent or even unusable data for several reasons.
 
We know the Cloud is a key tool for digital transformation. It provides the scalability and storage capacity you need to collect and interpret vast amounts of data coming from the operations level.
 
However, by nature, cloud platforms are IT-focused tools. They structure data differently than operational systems, which means IT must spend a lot of time cleaning the data before it can be used. And if the data moves directly to different enterprise systems, multiple teams across the organization will clean the data independently, leading to different versions of the truth.

IIoT health check: 6 signs you need Industrial DataOps

An executive for an industrial products company once told me even though his factories are full of similar equipment, he still struggled to access meaningful data from the machines. Each one of the plastic injection molding machines had a different way of presenting the data. That meant the company needed to customize coding for every piece of equipment to obtain meaningful insights.
 
It’s a common scenario in many industrial environments, where plants may have hundreds of PLCs and machine controllers on disparate machines generating operational data that is unintelligible to the data scientists who must make sense of it.
 
This is where Industrial DataOps comes in. It provides a way to standardize data using common models, or object-oriented approaches, to integrate and manage information coming from multiple sources. Here’s a closer look at the top six signs it’s time to consider an Industrial DataOps architecture for your company.
