Cogent DataHub

Industrial Data Integration Middleware

Cogent DataHub is a modular industrial middleware platform that integrates real-time OT and IT data across on-premise and cloud environments without custom code. It connects OPC UA, OPC DA, OPC A&E, MQTT Sparkplug B, Modbus, SQL databases, historians, Excel, and more into a single unified data set, making operational data instantly accessible to any client or application.

A cornerstone capability of Cogent DataHub is its OPC infrastructure modernization. Its OPC Tunneller eliminates the persistent DCOM configuration and firewall challenges of OPC Classic by securely tunneling OPC DA and OPC UA data across networks and DMZs using encrypted connections, with no open inbound firewall ports required on the OT network. Its OPC Bridge shares and mirrors data between OPC servers, and its OPC Gateway converts seamlessly between OPC DA and OPC UA, protecting investments in legacy OPC infrastructure while enabling migration to modern OPC UA standards. OPC data can simultaneously be logged to any ODBC-compliant database, published to MQTT brokers, streamed to Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud, and pushed to Apache Kafka or Azure Event Hubs, all from a single configured instance.

Cogent DataHub is built for industrial scale, handling over 100,000 data changes per second and supporting more than 2,000,000 tags in a single instance. Redundant OPC server connections, mirrored DataHub instances, and store-and-forward buffering ensure no single point of failure and no data loss during network disruptions. A no-code web interface, real-time visual diagnostics, built-in WebView dashboards, and a scripting engine make it accessible to controls engineers while offering deep extensibility for complex integrations.

With over 29,000 installations across 86 countries, Cogent DataHub is proven across manufacturing, oil and gas, food and beverage, renewable energy, and process industries worldwide.
