Automate repetitive tasks, carry out remote inspections and automated operator rounds, and keep workers safe by eliminating the need to travel to hazardous locations! The new Beta release of Cognite InRobot sees  a  significant upgrade of frontend and backend changes using the Robotics Services API. Backend highlights The new Robotics Services API makes connections  and control of robots more reliable and easy to understand. InRobot constantly reads the state of the robot  from a data stream. The same goes for checking which user is in control of the robot. All calls to the robot via the API have a response, making it more transparent what is going on and the results of the sent commands. Frontend highlights More automated and simplified interface for connecting to the robot. Visible response messages from the robot and the API. Missions are no longer lost in edit mode if you refresh or change tabs. Most recent missions are listed first   The list missions and create new mission tabs are combined. Opening up an action with PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) values in edit mode will no longer overwrite the saved PTZ values. Instead, the camera will automatically move to that position. If you move the camera without using the sliders, you can load and save the new position with one click. PTZ values are more user-friendly, using degrees for pan/tilt and zoom from 0 to 100  Cognite InRobot Early Adopter ProgramWe’re thrilled to announce we’ve launched the Cognite InRobot Early Adopter Program. Here you can accelerate your robotics adoption to automate your work processes. You’ll find the group here.   

Cognite Data Fusion Release: February 2023 We’re excited to share the highlights of the February 2023 release of Cognite Data Fusion. Continuing on the theme from the December release, we’ve made substantial improvements to searching and exploring data in Cognite Data Fusion. We’re also improving our support for document annotations, working with data transformations, and launching a major update of our enhanced data modeling features. For an overview of the release, watch the release spotlight video below.  Before we go into the details of the February release, remember that you can always post feedback and product ideas right here on Cognite Hub. We also recommend checking out our blog for the latest on the trends and thinking that are shaping the future trajectory of our product. Improvements to Data search, Document browsing, and 3D explorationIt's easier to apply filters to your search, filtering on multiple values within the same filter and combining multiple filters to narrow down your search. When you look at the search results, the results view is more customizable, offering you to select, sort, and change the layout of the columns displayed in the search results.When you’re viewing documents in Cognite Data Fusion, we’ve added support for a large range of common file formats, which now display natively in the document viewer. This includes text files, JSON files, spreadsheets, documents, and slides.  You’ll also find a new  option of laying out multiple documents in the same viewer. This is in particular useful when reading engineering diagrams, as these documents often break across pages or documents. Now, you can view them side-by-side to trace the flow of a connection. Using our contextualized engineering diagrams makes it trivial to open and view the next document from a connection exiting the page you are viewing and gives a holistic view of the system. Tip! These views can easily be bookmarked and shared with others to make recall and collaboration easier.Adding and consuming annotations enrich and power up the contents in engineering diagrams and other industry documents. We’re now shipping a unified Annotations API to make it easier to work with these annotations across all documents in Cognite Data Fusion. This will enable 3rd party applications to create and consume annotations, and the annotations will be visible inside Cognite Data Fusion. Over the next few months, we will transition all of our own applications to make use of this API, ensuring consistent views of documents across our entire product portfolio.The final major improvement made to data exploration in Cognite Data Fusion is to add support for viewing 360-degree images in the data explorer. You can view these images  in isolation or in the context of a point cloud or CAD/BIM model, providing a “street view”-experience where you can walk around your site or asset in high-fidelity imagery, making it easy to understand physical details and relationships without physically visiting the facility.  Connectivity improvements - Files and Energy data platformThis release sees the addition of improved connectivity for ingesting files into Cognite Data Fusion. Documents, diagrams, and files are almost always a key supplementary source of information to enrich and contextualize the digital twin in Cognite Data Fusion. Making it easier to ingest these makes it easier to leverage our new exploration and viewing capabilities. We’re now shipping a file extractor that supports local server file systems, several network sharing protocols, like FTP and SFTP, SharePoint, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob storage. The extractor is easy to set up and automatically detects file formats and ensures the proper processing pipeline. We’re also shipping a public Beta version of an extractor for data platforms adhering to the OSDU Open Group specification. Commonly seen in the Energy sector, OSDU data platforms are a great initiative to standardize structure and formats for key data categories. Use the new Cognite OSDU extractor It is now easy to connect to and extract data from OSDU platforms to Cognite Data Fusion, where the data  can be further contextualized and blended into a richer industrial digital twin to enable new use cases and applications. Data transformation - Usability improvementsPreviously, setting up data transformations in Cognite Data Fusion required some knowledge of SQL to express the transformation logic. With the February release, we’re adding a simple drag and drop interface to set up simple mappings between properties without resorting to writing SQL code. You’ll’ get automated suggestions to simplify the mapping process. Writing full SQL is still possible, and the interface now supports auto-completion and numerous other tweaks to make this experience easier. Enhanced data modeling - Beta updateWe’ve written a lot about our new and enhanced data modeling capabilities. February sees us publish what we believe to be the last Beta update of this capability. Based on user feedback from Beta customers, and internal validation, we now think the February update is feature complete. What remains between now and the General Availability  release is additional testing, validation and hardening of the product to ensure we can consistently meet our SLA across the wide variety of use cases we will enable for you. Our enhanced data modeling capabilities allow you to model any kind of industry domain, from well-known industry standard data models to whatever you need to enable your applications and solutions. Read more about these capabilities in this press release.  Cognite InRobot Early Adopter ProgramWe are thrilled to announce we have launched the Cognite InRobot Early Adopter Program. Here you are invited to accelerate your robotics adoption to automate your work processes. You can find the group here, we hope you’ll request to join if this is of interest to you. InRobot is a powerful application that enables you to configure and deploy your robots in an efficient and effective manner. With InRobot, you have the ability to remotely control, plan, and execute a wide range of robotics missions, including the automatic capturing of street views, the execution of autonomous visual operator rounds, and capture data for monitoring conditions of equipment.You get the same benefits from robots using InRobot, like increased frequency and repetition of data capture at your site, in addition, to reduce the number of hours that workers spend in the field, thereby increasing the overall safety of your operations. With InRobot all data is properly linked in Cognite Data Fusion thereby enhancing your understanding your plant and potentially the risk picture. Read detailed documentation here We hope you find some of these updates useful and valuable. If you have any feedback or ideas, we’d love to hear from you right here on Cognite Hub.

We’re excited to announce the release of the Cognite Reveal SDK, version 4.0, which includes new major features and improvements to enhance the performance and richness of your 3D application.The Reveal SDK now supports 360𐩒 images, which allows you to display high-detail views of real-world environments and objects. This feature provides a more immersive visual experience, and the users can see the site in full detail. By placing the images in a 3D context, finding the relevant images and navigating between them feels intuitive, and the users won’t get lost while jumping between images.We’ve also made improvements to the fidelity of point clouds through Eye-Dome Lighting. This technology allows for more realistic and detailed 3D models, resulting in a better overall user experience. Eye-Dome Lighting also makes it easier to get a sensation of depth and to distinguish individual objects from each other.Reveal 4.0 also adds initial support for contextualized point clouds, which enables you to generate high-resolution 3D models of real-world environments and objects. This feature allows you to attach information about equipment in your laser scans, and the users can interact with objects rather than individual points. Currently, there are no user interfaces in Cognite Data Fusion for managing point cloud object definitions. We will work to add tooling to help accelerate the use of these features in the coming months.We highly encourage you to try out these new features in the latest version of the Cognite Reveal SDK. As always, we very much welcome your feedback and suggestions for future improvements. You’ll find more information in the changelog and the documentation.Best Regards,The Cognite Reveal Team

The December 2022 release of Cognite Data Fusion contains major improvements in search and exploration of data, 3D and 360 degree image support, charting capabilities, and so much more. Keep reading, or watch the video for a full overview of what we’re delighted to bring you, just in time for Christmas.  Before we dive into the details of the December release, we also recommend our December 2023 Product Tour, where you can see a lot of the new features being demonstrated in real-world use cases. COGNITE DATA FUSION DECEMBER 2022 RELEASE IMPROVEMENTSImprovements to Data Search and ExplorationFinding the data you are looking for in Cognite Data Fusion can sometimes be hard. Based on your collective feedback, we have invested in making this experience a lot better, which comes together in the form of multiple improvements all targeted at making the job of finding the right data in Cognite Data Fusion as simple as possible.Global search is now available across all data types, and you can also search inside documents. When searching, we have added rich mechanisms to filter and sort your search results, making it easy to narrow down on the exact results you are looking for. The table view of search results has also seen an update, making it easier to customize the view and sort the results on different columns. In order to affect this change while ensuring operational stability, we will be enabling some of these features gradually per project over the coming weeks.To complement search and filtering, we have also added a lot of new 3D capabilities to the Data Explorer in Cognite Data Fusion. Using a 3D model to explore data allows you to leverage and understand physical locations and relationships of assets and equipment. We now ship a built-in full-screen 3D experience, where you can view contextualized data like documents, time series, events and images directly from the 3D model. The 3D viewer also supports slicing and measurements, allowing you to focus on the parts of the model you’re interested in, and also to understand the physical dimensions of the actual asset being shown.Easily find the data you need in context across 3D, documents, time series and events. The Data Exploration experience has also seen an overhaul of the user experience, based on your feedback and a desire to make finding data as simple as possible. You can expect further improvements in this area in the February release. Updated 3D capabilities, 360 degree images, point clouds, and moreThese new 3D capabilities are supported by our updated Cognite Reveal SDK, which is now released in version 4.0. It also brings support for 360 degree images, which allow you to create a “street view” like experience from traversing your 3D models, which can be a great way to complement a 3D model with immediately recognizable imagery from the actual site or asset. Support for point clouds is also available in the 4.0 update of Cognite Reveal, with improvements in rendering to make it easier to understand spatial relationships in a point cloud model. We have made it possible to isolate objects when rendering point clouds. This allows you to provide a rich experience when navigating a large point cloud model, adding isolation, color coding and interactive mechanisms for point cloud models. In addition to these major updates, Cognite Data Fusion also now provides native support for the Autodesk Navisworks NWD format. In total, these capabilities add up to providing great support for fully integrating 3D data into Cognite Data Fusion, and leveraging 3D and imagery when exploring data or building applications on top of Cognite Data Fusion. Cognite Charts integrated with Cognite Data Fusion, and event overlaysCognite Charts has been widely adopted by our customers, and has one of the most active communities of users. Previously, the integration between the other tools in the platform and Cognite Charts has been suboptimal: Cognite Charts had a separate URL requiring a separate login to access causing  unnecessary user friction. As part of our desire to make Cognite Data Fusion a great tool for simple access to complex industrial data, we are delighted to announce that we are bringing Cognite Charts into the main user interface. It is now available from fusion.cognite.com, no separate URL or login is required. This is a first step in bringing a better user experience across the entire product, integrating all of our main platform tools in one place. Charts also comes with a major feature update: you can now view Events in Cognite Data Fusion as overlays to a chart. Combining events and time series charts is often critical to understanding the correlations that are key to effective analysis and troubleshooting.  Make it easier to onboard data into Cognite Data FusionContinuing on a theme from past releases, we have made several improvements to the data extraction capabilities of Cognite Data Fusion. It is now possible to browse extractors by source systems - this allows you to find tailored components and recipes based on the actual source systems you are connecting to. To complement this, we will be investing in writing up more of our own experience and best practices when it comes to data onboarding, so stay tuned for more updates on this topic here on  Cognite Hub and our documentation.In addition, we added three extractors specific for well related data in the Oil & Gas sector: Cognite WITSML extractor, Cognite EDM extractor and Cognite Studio for Petrel extractor. This allows our users to withdraw data from highly used sources, and make it available through CDF to complete advanced well delivery workflows.  Data Management - Add Data Catalog to Cognite Data FusionA cornerstone of a scalable DataOps Platform is the ability to create, manage and monitor a large number of data products from the platform. With the upcoming general avail ability release of our Flexible Data Modeling capabilities, this will become even more important. To take the first steps in providing an improved data management experience, we have shipped the first iteration of a data catalog inside Cognite Data Fusion. Expect this service to mature into a more holistic offering for understanding, exploring and managing data products in the course of 2023. API & SDK Improvements, Japanese Language supportOur Python SDK has seen a major upgrade - the version 5.0 release focuses on performance improvements when accessing data points from many different time series, and brings functional parity between the Data Points API and the SDK. For most users, the 5.0 upgrade should be a drop-in replacement for the current version of the SDK.We have also added cursor support to the time series APIs - making it easier to navigate and retrieve large sets of time series data points, and bringing API parity with the other data retrieval APIs of CDF.Finally, some love for our Japanese users: Document search now ships with improved support for Japanese documents.We hope you find some of these updates useful and valuable. If you have any feedback or ideas, we’d love to hear from you right here on Cognite Hub. Stay tuned for more news and product updates as we move into 2023.Read the December Release Documentation

Hello we have very good news for you, Seismic Service reached Limited Availability. What does it mean for you? A more mature and resilient Software as a Service offering supported by Cognite, and only one step away from being general available. In this particular case the main difference between Limited and General availability relies on the specific cloud support vs a cloud agnostic offer. Why was the Seismic service built? Because seismic data is a key asset for many companies in the Oil and Gas industry, and it represents a big portion of the data a company might own. The reason for this is that seismic data by nature is very large and complex to store and access quickly. In Cognite, we built the Seismic Service that allows you to store data in the cloud, search for a particular seismic line and stream it in seconds. All these functionalities are powered by CDF. Seismic Service enables you to:  Have centralized access for 2D and 3D post stack seismic data Full control on who access the data through entitlement management Cut and download on demand Smart resource usage during data ingestion The Seismic Service provides full flexibility to build your own workflows to manage your seismic data on top of CDF, by exposing it through a Python SDK and a GRPC API. Feel free to let us know if you think this service might be a good fit in your business or if you have any questions related to it. On behalf of the entire Seismic team, we hope the service is beneficial to all of you.  Elka Sierra - Group Product Manager for Subsurface (Oil & Gas vertical)  

Images contain essential information required for optimizing operations. This release of Cognite Data Fusion (CDF) introduces image and video management, where you can upload, organize, and explore the image and video data and add annotations to the images. With the new image contextualization API, you can detect assets tags, text and people using industry-relevant detection models.We've also made it easier to work with the data flow from a source system into CDF with the option to create, edit, and troubleshoot the extractors' configuration files in the CDF user interface.Read more below or watch the videos to learn more about this and other improvements in this release. Image and video management​Images contain information such as the time or location of a photo, a number on a tag, or rust on a pipe. Use the new Image and video management tool to upload and enrich images and videos to CDF. Then, organize and explore your images and videos in a list view, gallery view, or on a map and add or review annotations to the images. Read moreUsing the Vision API and the Python and JavaScript SDKs, you can find data based on visual content and link images to assets by analyzing the images with detection models, such as asset tag detection, text detection, and person detection. The person detection model protects privacy and complies with GDPR. Create and edit extractor configuration files in the CDF user interface​The Cognite extractors connect to source systems and push data to CDF. When you set up or want to change the extractors, you can now create and edit the configuration files to fit your requirements on the Extraction pipeline page. This will reduce the time and effort spent accessing the configuration file on the extractor's host machine and make it easier to iterate and deploy the configurations settings and investigate extractor run issues. Read moreWhen you're ready to apply the configuration to a production environment, we recommend setting up remote configuration files stored in the cloud using versioned files and continuous integration systems, such as GitHub Actions, or directly with the CDF API. Read more Point cloud visualization in 3D models​With improved point cloud visualization in the 3D digital twin models, you'll find the rendering of objects clearer, more uniformed and with higher fidelity. This will make it easier to distinguish which object is in front and which is in the back when looking at digital twins. Place measurements in 3D models​Use the Cognite Reveal SDK to measure simple point to point distances in 3D models by clicking to- and from-points. For example to fit a new piece of equipment in a designated location. The default measurement unit is meters, but the tool provides callbacks to allow configuring the unit.Historic time series​The CDF time series service now allows data points starting on 01.01.1900T00:00:00Z (1 January 1900), specified as milliseconds since the epoch. This means you can import a more complete time series history to CDF. Time should be specified as a negative integer value for data points prior to midnight on Jan 01, 1970, and as positive integer values for data points after.

The Cognite Reveal 3D SDK, version 3.2, brings a number of capabilities to application developers integrating 3D into their applications: The CameraManager can be changed in runtime to allow end-users to switch between navigation modes. Note that this must be enabled in the application using Reveal. Add point-to-point measurement support to your application with a few lines of code using MesurementTool. This is supported for both CAD and point cloud models. Support for high-quality blend modes for point clouds. This opt-in feature enables high-quality visualization for point clouds and is suitable for powerful hardware configurations. This release also includes bug fixes and minor improvements. See the Reveal 3.2 changelog for details.  See our interactive documentation with live examples to test these and many other features without leaving your browser.

Search improvements for Files name: better ranking by bringing the best matches first and adding support for partial match search for file name. You can reset your filters, and a red badge indicates that filters are applied. You can also collapse the More filters section. We've improved the navigation when you search for a tag in an engineering diagram, such as a P&ID. You can also choose to see the initial P&ID without the hot links by using the “Hide annotations” checkbox. When using time series, the Time Zone info is now available at timestamp hovering. Files are grouped by their document type on the Files tab. And it’s easier to distinguish the file types as now there is a specific icon and the file type name is more readable. You can reuse any Search and Filters you have applied. Simply copy the URL and share it with your co-workers. You can now sort in the metadata tables. When using relationships, there is a new column added which specifies if the resource type is a source or a target in a relationship. Fixed bugs:The search criteria you enter in the Search bar are now kept when you toggle between the different tabs in the explorer. On the Files > File details tab, you can scroll up and down the list of metadata to find what you're looking for. We've added a notification to let you know that you cannot upload files greater than 5GB. Now it’s possible to download metadata with data points for a given timeframe. The applied boolean filters are now showing up on the filter button when closing the side panel. When selecting the time frame, in the Data picker, the selection is applied immediately, the “Update Date” button is being removed. When the file is deleted manually, previously, the UI was giving an error - the error is now fixed. Infinite scroll is now working when grid view is selected. Renaming the tab “Children” with “Hierarchy”. Displaying when the root node is without children and the root nodes with children are displayed properly in the hierarchy. Relationship count is fixed and all relationship labels are visible. Various styling issues are fixed.

 Data governance is key to ensuring high quality throughout your data's lifecycle, and Cognite Data Fusion (CDF) has the tools and features to secure that the data meet your expectations. This release optimizes data management by introducing more granular access to data transformations using data sets.Read more about this and the other improvements for the CDF April 2022 release below. We cover the main features in the five-minute video above.  Scope transformation access to data setsProtect access to CDF SQL transformations from ungoverned actions and visibility by associating a transformation to a data set. Users will only be able to see and run the transformations associated with the data sets they have access to.- As a project admin granting users access to transformations, select the data sets a user can see and run transformations for under Scope in the Transformations capability dialog:        - As a user creating a transformation, select the data set you want to associate to a transformation in the Create new transformation dialog. Only users with transformation access to this data set can see and run the transformation.          This feature is also available in the CDF API, Python SDK, and Transformations CLI. Read more about transformations Ingest data into sequence rowsYou’ll now find Sequence Rows as an option in the Destination type field on the Transformations page in the CDF user interface and no longer need to use other developer tools like APIs and SDKs to ingest sequence rows into the Sequence resource type in CDF.        Develop applications using JavaAlready, you can build solutions using Cognite's SDKs. Now, we introduce the Cognite Java SDK to interact with the CDF v1 APIs. The Java SDK is optimized for data publishing and allows you to write data efficiently with the upsert function. The Java SDK covers core CDF functionality, such as contextualization and data extraction. You’ll find all the info you need in the cdf-sdk-java repo, and we have updated the Cognite API documentation  with code samples on how to perform tasks with the Java SDK. Change isStep setting for ingesting time series to CDFWhen you stream time series data points into the CDF data model, the interpolation between the data points is controlled by the isStep property on the time series object. You can now change the isStep property value without recreating and re-ingesting the entire time series.
