Welcome back to our Data Storage Deep Dive series! In our previous post, we demonstrated how Cogent DataHub can integrate with AVEVA PI System to push data to CONNECT Data Services. However, with CONNECT, getting data in seems to be the easy part. What if you need to get data out and are unsure of what options are available?

With support for RESTful connections, OPC Router is capable of interpreting OMF from CONNECT and can seamlessly integrate that data with OPC UA, SAP, SQL, MQTT, REST, InfluxDB, and more, enabling users to have a successful Industry 4.0 implementation.

Welcome back to our Data Storage Deep Dive Series, where we continue to explore innovative ways to integrate our industrial automation software solutions with enterprise-level historians. In one of our previous posts of this series, Software Toolbox Helps You Fly Higher with Canary Historian, we demonstrated how data from diverse sources could be collected using TOP Server, OmniServer and Cogent DataHub, and subsequently funneled into Canary Historian for advanced trend analysis.

Today, we’re shifting our focus to AVEVA PI System (formerly known as OSIsoft PI), a widely used data repository, and how it can be used alongside AVEVA CONNECT to gain even more value from your industrial data. This blog will showcase how you can leverage the Cogent DataHub to seamlessly integrate data into your PI System, and from there, to CONNECT Data Services, unlocking cloud-based capabilities such as visualization and advanced analytics options for your organization.
