Enable sustainable, secure, and productive adoption of AI for your industrial use cases with HighByte Intelligence Hub.
Access the data, wherever it lives, across all your industrial and enterprise systems. Industrial data lives across PLCs, OPC servers, MES, CMMS, and ERP systems, historians, MQTT brokers, SQL databases, and cloud lake houses. These are spread across lines, networks, plants, cloud, and vendor applications with no standard interfaces. AI agents require access to this data to be consolidated into a set of simple MCP-based tools from a single MCP server.
Shape, transform, and contextualize industrial data into data products agents can actually utilize. Raw industrial data is meaningless to an AI agent. A PLC tag named TT_4501_PV carries information your controls engineer understands, but nothing your maintenance agent understands. To support AI, industrial data must be modeled, standardized, and contextualized so each agent can access information tailored to its role. Agents need the tools designed for their purpose, not hundreds of generic APIs. Five to ten well-scoped tools per agent beats hundreds of endpoints every time because focused agents with use case-driven data products make better decisions, hallucinate less, and scale more effectively.
Control what agents can have access to and what they can do. As agent usage grows, governance stops being optional. Connection authentication and authorization of which agents can call which tools is critical. You also need insulation from change. LLMs evolve weekly, agent platforms pivot, and MCP is still maturing. The work you do today should not be hostage to vendor decisions made yesterday. A well-designed Industrial DataOps layer keeps your tool definitions, data products, and governance policies stable while everything above the data layer evolves and optimizes. That is the difference between an experiment and enterprise infrastructure.
PRODUCT DEMO
Get a better understanding of what DataOps for AI looks like inside HighByte Intelligence Hub with this interactive demo.
The core mission of the Intelligence Hub is to prepare data for downstream use cases. Connections allow you to configure inputs and outputs from your data sources and targets. Models and Instances standardize and contextualize data products for specific use cases, while Namespaces organize the data products in a logical hierarchy. Finally, Pipelines are designed to process, transform, validate, and transport data payloads made specifically for use cases like AI.
MCP Services are available in the Intelligence Hub to make industrial data accessible to AI agents. The MCP Server leverages Pipelines to build curated parameterized tools for agents to use. The MCP Client connects to MCP servers in third-party applications, providing consolidation and control over how industrial data is accessed by AI agents. You can also surface the Configuration Knowledge Graph through a series of MCP tools, which allow external agents to navigate the graph and understand data lineage.
HighByte CTO Aron Semle joins The IT/OT Insider to discuss the rapid evolution of industrial data use cases, AI/LLM impact, the need for a foundational data layer, and emerging standards like MCP and i3X. Watch to gain key insights into the future of industrial data management.
Agentic AI will drive a 100x explosion of edge data consumers. Most manufacturing data architectures can't scale to meet it. Learn why Industrial DataOps and MCP are the foundation for AI success in this blog article from HighByte Chief Product Officer John Harrington.
In this Snowflake Accelerate Manufacturing session, HighByte's John Harrington and Jeffrey Schroeder join Snowflake’s Pugal Janakiraman to share how manufacturers are transforming shop floor performance with data and AI.
Cloud AI struggles with factory data. Edge AI struggles with context. Both share the same root problem and the same solution. Read why Industrial DataOps is becoming the foundation for AI in manufacturing in this blog post by Aron Semle.
