How to scale use cases with data contextualization

Anatomy of a contextualization engine for AI use case scaling in industry If there is one thing we at Cognite get a lot of questions on, it’s contextualization. Not so much what is contextualization (luckily we are getting past that phase now), but specifically on two subsequent topics:How does your contextualization engine actually work? How does contextualization make use case scaling order of magnitude (or two!) more efficient?In this article, we will address both the above questions. We will also offer an ‘executive summary’ on data contextualization and its role in modern data management towards the end for completeness. Let’s dive in!Read also: The data liberation paradox: drowning in data, starving for context How does Cognite Data Fusion contextualization engine work?First, it is paramount to set some foundations:There is no such thing as the ideal universal data model. Having some pre-defined reference data model (can be based on industry-standard where applicable, or only usi

What does it take to succeed with data science and analytics in power trading?

For many operators, power trading remains more of an art than a science that still relies heavily on heuristics and trader intuition. But as markets evolve and deviate from historical patterns, the tools and methods to make smarter trades must adapt in order to maintain or grow profitability and become a sustainable source of competitive advantage.In this webinar, we talk about our experience of integrating data science into forecasting and trading analysis, and how we used Cognite Data Fusion to enable analysts and traders to work iteratively in a data science process across a range of analytical topics within the trading domain. Check it out and leave your comments below! What do you see as the biggest opportunities and challenges within power trading analytics?

‘DataOps is what we do, but it’s not what we call it’

Most people are talking about DataOps as if it’s an idea that emerged in the last 5 to 10 years. But according to Rolf Thu, it’s something Aarbakke, a world-leading mechanical solutions supplier to the oil and gas industry, has been thinking about since the early 2000s. Thu says what’s today known as DataOps has been long in the making — people just didn’t know what to call it. For Aarbakke, it’s been a steady evolution, introducing digital solutions step by step over the years until the company emerged as the “smart factory” it sees itself as today.“I joined Aarbakke in 1989, and the theme throughout my career has been learning,” Thu said. “And what we’re doing now with data is also about learning. We are learning from best practices, we are increasing the competence of our employees, and we are constantly seeking improvements for our factory through better and smarter uses of data.”Can you explain more about how you use the data to achieve more at Aarbakke?RT: With the powerful data

Think Beyond Data Lakes: Data Products and Data Value Measurement

There are two discomforting truths within digital transformation across our key industries; energy, utilities, and manufacturing.Digitalization PoCs are commonplace. Real ROI isn’t. Billions are invested in cloud data warehouses and data lakes. Most data ends there, unused by anyone for anything.At the heart of this data-driven value dilemma lies a confluence of challenges, ranging from the technical (How can we best organize our diverse and fluid data universe?) to the operational (How can we create new information products and services?), to the financial (How can we treat data as an asset?), to the human (How can we improve data literacy and ensure digital solution adoption in the field?).Read also: DataOps: A transformative new approach to data ROITo avoid boiling the ocean, we will focus on what is perhaps the most fundamental question all fellow Chief Data Officers and other digitalisation executives need to consider as their Northstar — and in doing so, we will find ourselves on

We've released the first-of-its-kind Industrial DataOps Book!

Did you know that only one in four industrial organizations extract value from their data? The lack of tools and processes to connect, contextualize, and govern the data often stand in the way of industrial digitalization.   Industrial DataOps is a powerful new way of deploying data and technology to transform an industrial organization. It makes sense of, manages, and extracts value from complex industrial data. And it is is already becoming a driving force in industrial transformations, helping accelerate digital maturity, enabling data teams to deliver more digital products, and realizing more operational value at scale. In a 2020 survey of global companies, McKinsey found organizations that embedded DataOps could see the volume of new features increase by 50 percent because data automation enables quicker development iterations. At Cognite, we’ve released the first-of-its-kind Industrial DataOps book - a guide packed with insights, industry expertise and practical advice on how you

The digital twin: the evolution of a key concept of industry 4.0

The digital twin is the foundation for industrial digitalization efforts, delivering real-time insights, accurate forecasting, and intelligent decision-making. In the almost two decades since the term was invented, industry - and the world - have changed dramatically.  So what’s next for digital twin technology? Johan Krebber, IT Strategist at Cognite, summarized his perspective on the evolution of the digital twin concept during a panel at Ignite Talks, 2021’s big industrial digitalization conference. Read below an extended expert interview between Johan and Petteri Vainikka, our Vice President of Product Marketing, on the future of digital twins.Hello, Johan! Thank you, for taking part in our panel at Ignite Talks and especially for taking the time to do a deep-dive interview to expand on your contributions to the panel!

How do you get data out of a 50 year old control system?

The majority of the hydropower fleet is pretty old. It’s not uncommon to see a 100-year-old power plant still in operation. While it may be a great piece of engineering, how can you access operational data on your laptop or smartphone? After all, you may not want to travel every day to very remote locations. At Ringerikskraft’s Hønefoss II power station in Norway, we installed a set of cameras to passively record alarm events, read gauges, and stream this information to Cognite Data Fusion. It is all connected, so if an alarm goes off, I get an SMS notification and can quickly look up what is happening. Pretty cool, or what? I would like to hear your thoughts. How have you tackled the challenge of digitalizing aging infrastructure?Read the full story

Succeeding with your first deployment of autonomous inspection robots

One of the main objectives of the first deployment with an inspection robot is getting your organization ready for robotics. A properly scoped deployment will contribute to engaging the field workers and provide insights on what it takes to keep robots operational on a day-to-day basis. This will lay the foundation for high return on investment for all the following deployments. If the scoping fails, there is a risk of losing trust in robots and gaining less willingness to change in your organization. But fear not. In this post, we’re summarizing our best practices when assisting our customers to scope out their first deployment of an inspection robot.    Selecting the appropriate area of deployment It is common that there is a need to deploy robots in harmful or remote environments. These can be areas that may be highly corrosive, have a risk of explosive gases, have powerful magnetic fields, radiation from heat or nuclear etc. When selecting the appropriate robot for a plant, we reco

Ignite Talks unwraps net-zero pledges with 17,000 industrial leaders

 In one of the first in-person industry events since COVID-19, international leaders from across asset-heavy industries took to the stage in Oslo, Norway, on Sept. 21, to present how they are working toward net zero or net negative and the investments they’re making in technology, ESG solutions, and workforce transformation. Set to a backdrop of industrial images juxtaposed with glimpses of majestic nature, the industrial technology and digitalization conference provided a blunt reminder of the world that these net-zero pledges are trying to protect. [Editor’s note: All of these sessions, plus dozens of other Ignite Talks, are available on-demand now.]  First on stage was Aker CEO and Cognite Chair Øvyind Eriksen, who opened with a rallying cry:“You’ve made the [net-zero] pledge, but there are only 10,000 days to go,” Eriksen said. “It’s time to discuss the hard issues about what it will take. He added that addressing the challenges “head-on” is what Ignite is all about. In its fourth

Anatomy of a highly optimized time series database (TSDB) for real-time industrial applications

Design Performance Architecture Backups Access control Roadmap Design Time series databases typically come in two flavors: write-optimized and read-optimized. Cognite Data Fusion Time Series Database (CDF TSDB) strikes a balance between the two, ensuring that tens of millions of data points per second can be ingested and read in response to queries simultaneously, reliably, and with ultra-low latency both for input/indexing and querying.Write-optimized time series databases are useful as historians, constantly ingesting data from industrial equipment. But they are of limited use for large-scale analytics and are a poor choice to power interactive applications, as the stress from unevenly distributed user traffic may interfere with the reliable operation of time series ingestion. Examples include most industrial historians, as well as InfluxDB.Read-optimized time series databases on the other hand are an excellent choice for analytical query loads, but struggle with streaming ingestion.

Read the article here.  It is early morning Silicon Valley, and late afternoon at Fornebu. One of the real seniors in the investor community "over there" has got up at six o'clock to attend a video conference he does not want to miss.TCV top Jake Reynolds has previously led investments in Splunk, Webroot and ExactTarget, the latter now known by a new name; Salesforce Marketing Cloud - but this time he has "traded" Norwegian. On the direct line to the Aker quarter, he can finally tell about something he has wanted to do for a long time - invest in Cognite from Norway.- It is incredibly cool that we have got the world's most competent technology investor as a partner, says founder and CEO John Markus Lervik about the big event earlier this week - when it became known that Norwegian Cognite will r
