“What used to take one to two weeks can now be done in a day.” That’s how one polymer manufacturer described their experience with #HighByte Intelligence Hub. After interviewing manufacturers across vehicle, glass, and polymer production environments, @IDC found that IT teams saw: ✔️ 63.4% reduction in IT effort for integration activities ✔️ $1.15M in annual productivity gains ✔️ 11.5 FTEs freed up for higher-value work Reusable architecture and built-in transformation tools eliminate custom coding and repetitive manual integration work, accelerating deployment across sites and systems.

💡According to @IDC, nearly half of organizations will orchestrate AI agents at scale by 2030. For manufacturers, success depends on more than deploying new AI tools. It requires a foundation of trusted, contextualized industrial data. This @automation_com article by HighByte Chief Product Officer John Harrington explores: ➡️ Why #IndustrialAI agents require a different approach than traditional software applications ➡️ The data maturity gap holding back manufacturers ➡️ How Industrial #DataOps and #MCP deliver the context agents need to operate effectively Read it here. 👇 bit.ly/43uXWWY

Data is easy to collect. Turning it into something usable across systems is where most teams struggle. ❌ Data exists, but definitions are inconsistent   ❌ Systems interpret the same data differently ❌ Teams don’t trust what they’re seeing That’s the real bottleneck. Because if the data isn’t structured and contextualized, it doesn’t drive action. At #Automate2026, we’re joining @PhoenixContact and our other partners to show what it looks like when data becomes usable across systems and sites. When data is: ✅ Modeled ✅ Contextualized ✅ Consistent across applications It stops being data and becomes something teams can act on. Learn more: bit.ly/4akt3Z2

🏭 Many stalled digital transformation initiatives in manufacturing share a common theme: access to contextualized industrial data. While manufacturers generate enormous amounts of data, accessing usable data across systems requires custom integrations and proprietary APIs. #i3X, an open standard developed by @CESMII_SM aims to simplify that process by providing a consistent way to browse, read, write, and subscribe to industrial data and incrementally standardize IT-OT interaction without invalidating prior investments.

Live from Detroit: Siemens and HighByte partner on industrial data operations to scale Industrial AI 🚀 @Siemens is expanding the capabilities of its Industrial Edge ecosystem through a partnership with #HighByte. The collaboration enables customers to seamlessly connect, contextualize and transform data from both OT and IT sources, helping them to get value from industrial data. HighByte Intelligence Hub runs natively on Industrial Edge and is available now on the Industrial Edge Marketplace. "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 @siemenssoftware. 🗞️ Visit the Siemens press room to learn more: bit.ly/4dLlYD7

We're biased, but if you're not easily impressed, watch this video. 🎥 In his latest Art of the Possible video, HighByte CTO Aron Semle puts the Edge Data Lake concept into practice. 🤯 Aron walks us through a bioreactor scenario where modeled data from various industrial systems is exposed to @Snowflake through the #i3X open standard and the Intelligence Hub #MCP Server. A #Cortex agent in Snowflake explores the available factory data, builds pipelines on demand, and pulls in maintenance records to surface why batches are failing, all driven by the business user's questions. 💡 Industrial #DataOps removes the “impedance mismatch” between the Cloud and the factory. Open standards like i3X make this possible. Watch it here and let us know what you think.👇 bit.ly/3PzeMAP

🗞️ A new edition of the HighByte Resource Round-Up newsletter is ready for you! 💡 Get expert perspectives on emerging standards like #i3X, third-party analysis of the Industrial #DataOps market, and advice for reducing integration complexity in the age of AI. ✅ From analyst insights and podcasts to customer stories, product demos, and on-demand webcasts, this edition explores how industrial companies are modernizing their data architectures and making data products more accessible across systems and sites. 👇 bit.ly/49psT2d

Every second of unplanned downtime costs you. So, how do leading organizations prevent this and keep operations running smoothly? @IDC's research found that organizations using #HighByte Intelligence Hub achieved: 🔧 A reduction in unplanned downtime by detecting issues early and triggering real-time, automated responses. ⚡ Faster resolution of downtime incidents—empowering teams to act quickly and minimize disruptions. By integrating real-time data from smart sensors across enterprise systems, teams gained better visibility into their systems, enabling them to detect issues earlier, target interventions more precisely, and reduce inefficiencies.

⚖️ For manufacturers in regulated industries, the challenge with Industrial AI isn’t just innovation. It’s enabling AI while maintaining governance, validation, contextualization, and control over operational data. In this @hannover_messe theater session, Aron Semle shares how @Bayer uses HighByte Intelligence Hub and @awscloud to unlock siloed historical data over MCP. This approach has enabled operators to query and infer data coming from PI System with conversational AI and move from static dashboards to ad hoc reports—delivering insights in seconds, not hours or days. 🍿 Watch on demand: bit.ly/3RW1VsV #HM2026 #IndustrialAI #DataOps #MCP

🧩 If you've spent time managing fragmented, proprietary APIs across a factory floor, you know the frustration. Every system has its own API. Integrations are custom. And when something breaks, it takes time to fix, preventing you from leveraging your factory data. i3X, an open standard developed by @CESMII_SM, gives industrial systems a common API strongly typed, discoverable, and IT-friendly for industrial data access. #HighByte CTO Aron Semle is part of the working group that's building the standard. In his latest post, he shares why #i3X matters, where it fits in modern manufacturing architectures, and how it can help teams reduce bespoke integrations without replacing the systems they already use.

💡 Industrial AI can generate value fast, but only if the underlying data infrastructure can support it at scale. At @hannover_messe, HighByte Chief Product Officer John Harrington, presented at the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Theater on how Alcon used HighByte Intelligence Hub, powered by @awscloud, to create a scalable foundation for predictive maintenance and defect monitoring.

🚨 Just 2 days until HighByte Office Hours: Building the API Layer for Modern Manufacturing! Join HighByte leaders Aron Semle, Torey Penrod-Cambra, and Jeffrey Schroeder on May 13 for a live, 55-minute webcast. The team will discuss and demo: ✅ Expanding HighByte Intelligence Hub’s Factory API capabilities with #i3X to create a unified API layer for apps, AI agents, and analytics ✅ Building, editing, and summarizing pipelines using natural language with the new in-app Pipeline AI Agent ✅ Federating distributed namespaces across remote sites using Central Data to power enterprise pipelines from a single hub Save your seat. 🎟️👇 bit.ly/4uHDz4v

⚠️ Warning: This post is not about AI. In the past couple years, our customers have been building increasingly sophisticated data models and pipelines. While HighByte Intelligence Hub has always supported subscribing to eventful sources like OPC UA and MQTT, subscribing to changes across complex objects like Instances and Namespaces has become critical. In this video, CTO Aron Semle introduces event subscriptions, available now in the latest release of the Intelligence Hub. The subscription engine simplifies pipeline design, eliminates polling, and ensures data changes are never missed across both local and distributed data sources. See: ✅ How the subscription engine expands the Event Trigger to work across OPC UA branches, Sparkplug groups, Instances, and Namespaces. ✅ How internal subscriptions power the new #i3X Server interface. It's not AI. But it's pretty powerful for data operations. Take 10 minutes to learn more with Aron and let us know what you think. 🎥 👇 bit.ly/4nlc1zo
