HighByte Intelligence Hub<\/h1>\n

Machines, systems and business tools often speak different languages. HighByte Intelligence Hub\u00a0<\/span>brings all the data together and makes it easy to understand and use<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0, whether it’s in Power BI, AI or your ERP system.<\/span><\/p>\n \n \n Try for free <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \"Hero <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n

HOW DOES HIGHBYTE INTELLIGENCE HUB WORK?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Structured data for the entire organization<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n

Usable machine data<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Data without context is hard to trust and even harder to use! That\u2019s why Intelligence Hub takes raw signals and turns them into structured information<\/strong> right at the source. This way, your OT and IT teams finally have a common ground to start from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

This is what you get with Intelligence Hub:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

A user-friendly interface where the OT team can contribute directly,<\/strong> without programming or being dependent on IT<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Common models<\/strong> for your data regardless of device or site<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Clean and contextualized data that Analytics & AI can use directly<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Data prepared at the source,<\/strong> without the need for post-processing<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n

A complete UNS (Unified Namespace) solution<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

The more systems, sensors, and teams you have, the harder it becomes to get a unified view of all your data. That\u2019s why a Unified Namespace creates a common structure<\/strong> where your data is organized, easily accessible, and always up to date.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

This is what you get with Intelligence Hub:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

A unified architecture<\/strong> that allows IT and OT to build on the same foundation<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201c A single source of truth<\/strong> \u201d for real-time data<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

More time to use data for analysis and improvements,<\/strong> instead of spending time creating and maintaining integrations<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n

Deliver the right information to every system<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Each application expects data in its own format.<\/strong> For example, MES wants one structure, your cloud platform another, and analytics tools often need something in between. That’s why ‘pipelines’<\/em> in Intelligence Hub take your modeled data and automatically shape it<\/strong> for each recipient. This way, you can work quickly, without having to write scripts or create custom connections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

This is what you get with Intelligence Hub:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Automatic sharing<\/strong> of information between IT and OT<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Payloads<\/strong> that match the structure each system requires<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Reliable pipelines<\/strong> for your data flows<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
How do I integrate HighByte with existing systems (IT\/OT)?<\/strong><\/strong>

HighByte Intelligence Hub acts as a\u00a0bridge between OT and IT\u00a0. It can connect to PLCs, SCADA, Historians, MES, ERP and Cloud via standard connectors such as OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT, REST and SQL. The result is that you\u00a0can easily map, model and contextualize data without writing code\u00a0. This makes it easy to achieve\u00a0consistent and scalable integration between OT and IT\u00a0across the enterprise.<\/p> <\/div>

Is HighByte designed to run in the Cloud, on-premises or as a hybrid?<\/strong><\/strong>

You can run\u00a0on the Edge, in\u00a0virtual machines, containers, and in\u00a0Cloud environments\u00a0such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Many users choose\u00a0hybrid solutions\u00a0: data is collected and modeled on the Edge, and then published on-premises and to analytics platforms in the Cloud.<\/p> <\/div>

Can you tell us more about how HighByte supports Unified Namespace architectures (UNS)?<\/strong><\/strong>

Unified Namespace (UNS)\u00a0is a common data store for industrial data. HighByte makes it easy to create a UNS: you can\u00a0model and contextualize data\u00a0before sending it via MQTT or Sparkplug B. The platform also has a\u00a0built-in MQTT broker\u00a0for on-premises solutions, making it easy to build and maintain a\u00a0scalable industrial data infrastructure\u00a0.<\/p> <\/div>

How does HighByte Intelligence Hub integrate with MQTT?<\/strong><\/strong>

HighByte can both\u00a0send and receive data via MQTT\u00a0. It can connect to brokers such as HiveMQ, EMQX or Mosquitto, or use its\u00a0built-in broker\u00a0for local installations. Data can be sent in structured formats, such as JSON or Sparkplug B, to designated \u201ctopics\u201d. This makes it easy to\u00a0share industrial data in a smart way\u00a0and create\u00a0reliable, event-driven data pipelines.<\/p> <\/div>

What is MCP and how does HighByte support it?<\/strong><\/strong>

HighByte supports\u00a0Model Context Protocol (MCP), a relatively new standard that enables industrial data to be connected to AI. This means your data and models can\u00a0be used more intelligently by AI\u00a0.<\/p> <\/div>

What security standards and protocols does HighByte Intelligence Hub follow?<\/strong><\/strong>

The system supports\u00a0secure communication\u00a0via TLS\/SSL for MQTT and HTTPS for REST, and offers\u00a0
user management with roles\u00a0and login via SAML or Active Directory\/LDAP. In addition,configurations can be\u00a0moved securely between different environments . All this makes it easy to comply with\u00a0OT\/IT security and governance\u00a0requirements.<\/p> <\/div>

How is HighByte Intelligence Hub licensed?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>

HighByte Intelligence Hub is available as\u00a0
an annual subscription<\/strong>\u00a0and is licensed per site. This in turn provides unlimited connections, data models and pipelines. All features, including the built-in MQTT broker, OPC UA connectivity and UNS capabilities, are included.<\/p> <\/div>

Is there a possibility for Proof of Concept (PoC) or testing before purchase?<\/strong><\/strong>

HighByte offers\u00a0test and PoC licenses\u00a0so you can run Intelligence Hub in your own environment. You can try out real data integrations, build UNS, and test MQTT communication.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
