Siemens and HighByte Target Fragmented Factory Data With Joint Infrastructure Play
Siemens and HighByte have joined forces to solve industrial data fragmentation. HighByte's Intelligence Hub, now on the Siemens Industrial Edge Marketplace, connects OT and IT data sources to help manufacturers build and scale industrial AI applications.
Siemens has partnered with industrial software company HighByte to help manufacturers connect and contextualize data from operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) sources. HighByte's Intelligence Hub is now available on the Siemens Industrial Edge Marketplace.
The integration allows users to model, orchestrate and govern industrial data across IT and OT systems, feeding contextualized datasets into Siemens' Intelligence Center X for building AI models and applications.
"The partnership solves a core challenge to make AI-powered industrial production a reality: making data from diverse sources accessible, understandable and actionable across the enterprise," said Rainer Brehm, COO for automation and CTO at Siemens Digital Industries. "By bringing together Industrial Edge's robust OT connectivity with HighByte's DataOps capabilities and Intelligence Center X, we bridge the gap between shop floor operations and IT systems."
"Industrial organizations have long struggled with fragmented data across IT and OT systems," said Tony Paine, CEO at HighByte. "By directly integrating HighByte Intelligence Hub with Industrial Information Hub on Industrial Edge, we give customers a direct path to contextualized and standardized data. This is the foundation needed to build data products and leverage AI at scale with Siemens' Intelligence Center X."
Brazilian flat glass manufacturer Vivix Vidros Planos used the combined solution to digitalize its production processes across 30 industrial applications, including a predictive tool to monitor the condition of a $120 million glass furnace.
"HighByte on Siemens Industrial Edge enables us to feed highly contextualized industrial data into Intelligence Center X, so that our developers can build industrial AI models, agents and applications at speed and scale, with very little support from our limited pool of OT experts. This combination is really driving OT, IT and AI convergence and accelerating our industrial agentic transformation," said Aristóteles Terceiro Neto, industrial transformation manager at Vivix Vidros Planos.
