en.Wedoany.com Reported - Siemens has partnered with industrial software company HighByte to expand the capabilities of its Industrial Edge ecosystem. Through this collaboration, HighByte Intelligence Hub is now available as an official application on the Siemens Industrial Edge Marketplace, enabling customers to seamlessly connect, contextualize, and transform data from operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) sources, thereby unlocking value from industrial data.
HighByte Intelligence Hub is an industrial data operations software solution designed for data modeling, orchestration, and governance. Customers can use Siemens' recently released Intelligence Center X software to efficiently consume and reuse industrial datasets from HighByte, building AI models, agents, and applications at scale.
"This partnership addresses a core challenge in making AI-driven industrial production a reality: making data from diverse sources accessible, understandable, and actionable across the enterprise," said Rainer Brehm, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Siemens Digital Industries Automation. "By combining the powerful OT connectivity of Industrial Edge with HighByte's DataOps capabilities and Intelligence Center X, we bridge the gap between shop floor operations and IT systems."
HighByte Intelligence Hub runs natively on Industrial Edge, with application and configuration management handled by the platform. The solution directly integrates with Industrial Edge's connectivity suite, allowing users to connect to a wide range of OT data sources, including PLCs, SCADA systems, and industrial protocols. HighByte's DataOps capabilities extend this connectivity to IT data sources, creating a unified data infrastructure that spans the entire production operation.
A key capability of the integrated solution is data contextualization and pipelining. With HighByte Intelligence Hub, users can apply flexible and scalable transformation rules to process data from multiple sources across IT and OT domains, add business context, and convert raw operational data into meaningful information. These contextualized datasets can then be made available to IT services in a transparent and scalable manner, with HighByte acting as a unified namespace provider to standardize data access within the organization. In addition to providing OT data to IT systems, HighByte Intelligence Hub can also be used to securely and reliably adjust machine setpoints by sending commands from IT data sources, such as manufacturing execution systems (MES), via Industrial Edge's connectivity suite.
"Industrial organizations have long struggled with fragmented data across IT and OT systems," said Tony Paine, CEO of HighByte. "By integrating HighByte Intelligence Hub directly into the Industrial Information Hub on Industrial Edge, we provide customers with a direct path to contextualized and standardized data. This is the foundation needed to build data products and scale AI applications using Siemens Intelligence Center X."
Vivix Vidros Planos, one of Brazil's leading flat glass manufacturers, has already used the combination of Siemens Industrial Edge, HighByte, and Intelligence Center X to fully digitize its core production process through 30 industrial applications. The company recently built an intelligent application to predict and prevent degradation of its most valuable asset—a $120 million glass furnace—to maximize its utilization and economic lifespan.
"HighByte on Siemens Industrial Edge allows us to feed highly contextualized industrial data into Intelligence Center X, so developers can quickly and at scale build industrial AI models, agents, and applications with minimal support from our limited OT expert team. This combination truly drives the convergence of OT, IT, and AI, accelerating the industrial agent transformation," said Aristóteles Terceiro Neto, Industrial Transformation Manager at Vivix Vidros Planos. Neto shared Vivix Vidros Planos' experience with the combined solution at Siemens' Realize LIVE Americas 2026 event in Detroit.
