Cogent DataHub
Your single source for real-time industrial data.
Overview
The Cogent DataHub is more than just a connectivity server; it's a real-time industrial middleware that can aggregate data from various sources (OPC, Modbus, databases, MQTT), and then share it with any number of clients in different formats. It's designed to be a central hub for all real-time data, enabling seamless integration between different systems and protocols.
✨ Key Features
- OPC UA and DA server and client
- MQTT client and broker
- Data bridging between protocols (e.g., OPC to MQTT)
- Secure data tunneling
- Web-based HMI development (DataHub WebView)
- Database and Excel integration
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Acts as a versatile, real-time middleware, not just a protocol converter
- Strong data bridging and tunneling capabilities
- Integrated web HMI and historical data logging
Unique Value: Provides a single, unified toolkit to connect, transform, and share real-time industrial data across different protocols, networks, and applications.
