Hi, I’m Enikö Farkas from Cognite. With my team, we create e-learning for Cognite Academy. In our courses, we put a lot of emphasis on providing hands-on experiences so you can learn to use Cognite Data Fusion through interacting with real industrial data.In most of our courses, the training data we use comes from the Open Industrial Data (OID) project which is the result of a collaboration between Aker BP, one of Europe’s largest independent oil companies, and Cognite. While the data is from the oil and gas industry, its relevance is much broader: it gives us insight into dynamic industrial processes and can inspire all industries.In this article, I’m excited to share more about this project.About the dataThe data originates from a single compressor on Aker BP’s Valhall oil platform in the North Sea. Aker BP selected the first stage compressor on the Valhall because it is a subsystem with clearly defined boundaries, rich in time series and maintenance data.AkerBP uses Cognite Data Fus

Hi everyone,As we prepare for the General Availability release of Records in CDF on December 2nd, 2025, we're implementing important changes based on learnings from the Private Beta program.Timeline: These changes will be rolled out progressively between today and December 2nd, 2025. We'll update this post as specific changes go live.What's changing:Record-specific containers We are introducing a new type of container dedicated to records, which has higher limits for number of properties, and will allow evolution of the records specific container as more features are made available in records. This container is defined by the usedFor field set to "record". It will be possible to ingest records only into containers with usedFor set to "record" Any records already ingested into non-record containers will remain queryable, but new ingestion attempts to these containers will fail This separation enables better schema management, clearer data organization, and simpler logic for clients q

Every operator in the oil and gas industry knows the name WellView. As Peloton's well information management system, it is the digital backbone that centralizes data across a well's entire lifecycle—from initial planning through drilling, completions, and eventual abandonment. It's designed to be the single, reliable source of truth for managing the immense complexity, high costs, and significant risks inherent in drilling operations.In essence, systems like WellView are indispensable for:Standardizing data for more reliable decision-making. Preserving critical operational knowledge over decades. Facilitating regulatory reporting and compliance. The Challenge: A Treasure Trove Trapped in FragmentationDespite its critical importance, WellView data often presents a massive challenge for the very engineers who need it most. The information is highly technical, fragmented across complex relational tables, and stored in overwhelming volumes—think drilling logs recorded every foot or every 1

Hey everyone! 👋 I've been diving into the world of CDF data modeling for the past couple of weeks, and I thought I'd share what I've learned so far in a way that's easy to understand. First off, let's talk about the term "Data Modeling." It's everywhere in CDF - in API endpoints, UI, docs - but its meaning can vary depending on where you look. After some digging, I've figured out what it means specifically in CDF. Essentially, it's about organizing, storing, and working with data in a way that's perfect for handling complex industrial scenarios. Think of it as the foundation for unleashing the power of Cognite Data Fusion on your industrial data. So, what exactly makes up a Data Model in CDF? Let's break it down: Space: Think of it like a folder where everything in a Data Model hangs out. Containers, views, instances - they all belong to a Space and have their own unique ID. Containers: These are like the storage units for properties. They live within a space and hold sets of proper

  The countdown is on! Cognite Hub has officially launched the Impact Challenge 2025 -a no-code hackathon inviting all our community members to roll up your sleeves and solve real-world challenges using Cognite Data Fusion. Unlocking Value Through Community InnovationAt its core, this community-driven initiative is about unlocking value - from accelerating CDF adoption to creating user-friendly solutions, breaking down silos, and driving measurable business impact.

A common setup that we have at Cognite is having 3 different environments: development, test and production. We have one specific Cognite Data Fusion (CDF) project for each of these environments. This setup allows to develop new features without interfering with production data. Also, it makes the deployment of new features to production much safer, since they are tested before.Sometimes, you still want to have the data you used during your tests, in your production environment. For example, if you extracted some data from sensors and saved them as time series in CDF, you may want to keep this historical data when you move to production. Same goes with files, assets, datasets, functions etc. Another example could be the replication of the data from a full production CDF project, to one of your customer’s project, containing only a subset of the source one.At Cognite, we have a python package (available at https://pypi.org/project/cognite-replicator/) whose purpose is to copy the select

Hi everyone, We appreciate so many of you taking the time to provide us feedback, and due to popular demand, we accelerated the implementation of a new way of seeing preview of data in Search.What you now see in Search, is that we (most places*) have replaced the preview card pop up triggered by hovering with a preview side panel triggered by selecting/clicking on an item. The preview side panel is a compressed version of the details view, and you will be directed to the full page details view by selecting “Open” in the top right. Left: preview card pop up previously triggered on hover. Right: preview side panel triggers on click.*We still use the preview card when viewing Annotations in a File, but are here working on designs for improving the interaction.  Let us know what you think!Best, Sofie Berge, Product Manager  

Search as the default exploration experience in the Industrial tools workspace What you will see when you log in with your credentials to fusion.cognite.com, is that Search is the new default exploration experience. We hope you will take it through some testing, and are looking forward to your feedback!  Best, Sofie Berge, Product Manager
