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. The new PI connector is being used by one of our customers to query and mix aggregated data from PI (min, max, average, etc.) with real-time data from PLCs. Another customer is querying years of historical data, modeling it, and sending it to an advanced AI/ML platform to train AI models. And yet another customer is integrating third party sensor data from the Cloud back into the factory and writing the modeled data directly into PI’s Asset Framework. These use cases illustrate how the Intelligence Hub can accelerate analytics for batch and process manufacturers.
The new InfluxDB connector is being used to store data from the unified namespace (UNS) in InfluxDB, run calculations on it, and push the results back into the UNS. It is a seamless and effortless way to add historical data to the UNS. Finally, the new Oracle Database connector allows users to connect to MES and ERP systems backed by Oracle Database, and both read and write data to these systems. And that’s just scratching the surface of the new capabilities packed into this release. Let’s jump into the highlights of HighByte Intelligence Hub version 2.2. Release Highlights
Additional Resources We hope you are as excited as we are about the new use cases we’ve enabled in HighByte Intelligence Hub version 2.2. This release provides users with more connectivity and data transformation options and accelerates analytics for batch and process manufacturers. To learn more, check out these additional resources:
