New Blog Post: Are Lighthouse Sites Blinding Manufacturers from Long-Term Digital Success?

While many manufacturers have successfully fostered lighthouse sites, very few have been able to replicate this success across their other production sites.The purpose of these lighthouse sites are to act as the guiding model for other production sites, providing a wave of innovation to address use cases that will increase productivity, improve quality, reduce energy and water consumption, and much more. The problem is that lighthouse facilities on average only account for 10-15% of production volume, and manufacturers are struggling to replicate this success to the significantly outstanding 85-90% of their production.Read in our latest blog why aren’t lighthouses scaling. And how to ensure that your lighthouse success can be carried forward to other production sites. Did this article cause some reflections? We’d love to hear from you and your experiences.

Are Lighthouse Sites Blinding Manufacturers from Long-Term Digital Success?

Herein lies the challenge, while many manufacturers have successfully fostered lighthouse sites, very few have been able to replicate this success across their other production sites.To define a lighthouse site, these are the ones that are first to install the newest technologies, often have teams with unique technological expertise, and are likely the most productive and agile of all your production sites. This lighthouse concept is best recognized by the World Economic Forum, which started the Global Lighthouse Network in 2018 and currently recognizes 90 manufacturing sites worldwide for “applying Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies to increase efficiency and productivity, along with environmental stewardship.” The purpose of these lighthouse sites are to act as the guiding model for other production sites, providing a wave of innovation to address use cases that will increase productivity, improve quality, reduce energy and water consumption, and much more. The problem is that

3D scanning with robots - what do you want to know?

In heavy asset industries 3D scans are used for applications such as quality inspection, project progress reporting, project planning, evaluating the state of a site ‘as built’ or even evaluating the vegetation around it. The scans span from simple scans performed with a drone in 15 minutes to complex and detailed scans of a plant, taking several weeks to complete. In this 3 part series about 3D scanning with robots we will take you through how to capture, transform, analyze and visualize 3D scan data in order to improve daily operations. What we’d like to know before going is if someone has any questions or topics that you want to learn more about? All questions are greatly appreciated and can span from how do you set up the robot to capture the data to what robot and data management pipeline would you use for use case X? Point cloud from drone scan with contextualized segmentation

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.

Cognite's role in the robotics ecosystem

Many tasks in industry are perfect for robots. They are repetitive, located in hazardous or remote environments, and require a great deal of manual data collection. This is a great pain for thousands of industrial companies across the globe, hence also a good opportunity for Cognite. We are in a unique position where we facilitate digital twins for our customers. Hence, we can add context to the data captured by robots - which in turn will enrich the operational digital twins.  In this read from Hart Energy you can read more about Solving the Robot Data Problem with Industrial DataOps by Francois Laborie, Cognite President of North America,  Cognite Data Fusion (CDF) gives industrial companies a powerful data foundation for automation. With access to sensor data, asset hierarchies, and spatial information in one place, robotics systems — from drones to wheeled and four-legged robots — can connect to digital twins and collect data automatically through their APIs. CDF makes this integra

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

Using, managing, improving and creating CV models for robotics, through Cognite Data Fusion

My name is Sigrid Schaanning, and I have written this post together with Atussa Koushan. We both work as Software Engineers in Cognite’s Disruptive-MVP team, which focuses on robotics and computer vision. In this post, we will look further into how to develop a computer vision model, from gathering data to deploying the model on a robot. First, let’s set the scene for what we are trying to achieve in this post.Imagine performing routine inspections at an industrial facility or an oil platform. You might have to read and note down the values of multiple gauges three times a day - every single day. Or, you might have to inspect different parts of the facility to check for corrosion or wear damage.Routine inspections could be tedious and repetitive work, and it might take place in surroundings which are dangerous to humans.Robots, on the other hand, have no perception of tedious work and they could also operate in hostile environments. Robots, together with computer vision, constitute a p

Let's get introduced!

Hi Community Friends! We thought it might be nice to know who’s who, while we’re actively engaging in our community. I’ll start! My name is Anita, and I’m your Community Director. I joined Cognite in September 2020, and jumped right on the mission of establishing Cognite’s customer community. I’ve worked in a variety of industries, and am passionate about working at the crossroads of sustainable business development and digital transformation. I live in Lommedalen, Norway (translated “the Pocket Valley”), where we have long winters with deep snow. I love horseback riding (Islandic horses in particular), and I have a passion for Italian wine and food.Here’s a fun fact: my grandfather’s brother, who was raised in the remote mountains of Hallingdal in Norway, worked as a chemist with Thomas Alva Edison. The letters he wrote home made me realize from early on that no matter your background, you can change the world. I’m super excited to facilitate for all of you to meet, discuss and learn

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

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

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
