Deliver Contextualized, Industrial Data to Databricks

HighByte Intelligence Hub is the bridge between factory data and AI-ready analytics in the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. Discover, contextualize, and deliver industrial data to improve operations at scale.

 

HighByte + Databricks

HighByte Intelligence Hub is purpose-built to operationalize industrial data for analytics, machine learning, and AI.

HighByte Intelligence Hub provides industrial companies with an off-the-shelf DataOps solution to accelerate and scale the use of operational data for analytics, machine learning, and AI use cases. Deploy the Intelligence Hub at the Edge to merge and model data from brownfield and modern industrial systems—including PI Systems and historians—into governed, analytics-ready datasets that flow directly into Databricks for enterprise-wide insights.

Get bidirectional, multi-modal integration between the factory and your lakehouse.

 

HighByte Intelligence Hub is the bi-directional bridge between the factory and Databricks, unlocking your dormant datasets. Use the Intelligence Hub to map Operational Technology (OT) data sources to rich data models using a simple drag-and-drop interface and then send these modeled payloads to Databricks. The Lakehouse ingests the data via streaming or batches it into Delta Lake for secure, scalable analytics, warehousing, and AI workloads. This joint architecture balances update frequency, cost, and agility across Stream, Bulk, and Query patterns without losing industrial context or enterprise governance.

From the Factory to Databricks

The Databricks Client connector for HighByte Intelligence Hub publishes optimal, ready-to-use data in parquet format to the underlying storage service and registers its contents with the Databricks Unity Catalog. This allows you to dynamically drive your lakehouse schema from your operations and instantly discover and use your industrial data. The Intelligence Hub is where industrial data meets the lakehouse.

From Databricks to the Factory

HighByte Intelligence Hub can also move data from Databricks back to the factory floor with the Databricks SQL connector that enables you to query and retrieve data from Databricks tables. This is ideal for “cloud-to-edge” or “reverse ETL” integration patterns with Databricks to unlock and embed analytical or AI-generated insights at the edge. Deliver alerts from machine learning, data from third-party sensors, and more.

PRODUCT DEMO

Databricks + HighByte Intelligence Hub

Learn how to leverage the new Databricks Client connector in the Intelligence Hub. This native integration enables users to transfer contextualized and standardized industrial data into Databricks. The connector publishes optimized, ready-to-use data in Parquet format to the underlying storage service and registers its contents with the Databricks Unity Catalog. This functionality allows users to dynamically shape their lakehouse schema based on operational data, making it easy to instantly discover and utilize industrial information.

Make Your Industrial Data Useful

HighByte Intelligence Hub enables manufacturers to securely connect, merge, model, and flow industrial data to and from Databricks without writing or maintaining code. Deploy the Intelligence Hub on any Linux or Windows PC, or by using Docker or Kubernetes.
