Cogent DataHub™ software from Skkynet can be found in virtually any application for the energy sector where secure data communication is important―from conventional power generation and transmission to alternative energy production and monitoring. System integrators and plant engineers use the DataHub program to access, integrate, and monitor data from diverse hardware and software vendors.

DataHub software is being used in coal, hydro, and nuclear power plants run by private and public utilities worldwide. These companies rely on the DataHub program to provide secure and reliable connectivity for the real-time data used to monitor and control their systems. From robust networking between machines, to logging live production data accurate to the millisecond, and displaying system status in a web HMI, DataHub software keeps the data flowing.

Use Cases

Power Plant Management: A DataHub tunnel is being used to establish a secure network connection from the plant equipment to the corporate office.

Nuclear Power Plant Data Conversions: Real-time data from legacy technology is connected through a DataHub instance to more modern equipment for analysis.

Hydro Power Maintenance: Data from dozens of small hydro stations is being collected and archived to redundant databases.

Power Plant Coordination: Pairs of redundant connections from remote power stations get resolved in a single DataHub instance running at the central office, where the data is fed to web, database, spreadsheet, and email applications.

Power Plant Updates: Connected facilities send data updates to be consolidated by DataHub software and sent out by email to management teams.
