CT Operational Technology Data Liberator

The Operational Technology (OT) Data Liberator by Celebal Technologies offers a comprehensive solution for efficiently extracting, processing, and integrating OT data into a centralized Lakehouse. Designed to liberate data from diverse OT sources, the solution ensures metadata synchronization, seamless data streaming, historical data retrieval, and a resilient data pipeline—all while maintaining full data governance within the customer’s network.

Harnessing the power of Azure IoT Operations and Akri, the solution offers robust connectivity to both legacy and modern OT systems, enabling efficient data transformation and management. Integration with Azure IoT Hub facilitates secure device communication, while Azure Digital Twins provides a comprehensive digital representation of physical environments for enhanced operational insights. User Kubernetes workloads deployed at the edge enhance accessibility and processing speed, ensuring timely insights and decision-making. With advanced capabilities such as asset management, integrated data services, and powerful visualization tools like Power BI, along with support for Azure Data Explorer (ADX) for rapid data analytics and Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) for scalable storage, the OT Data Liberator fosters a seamless convergence of IT and OT environments. This strategic approach maximizes the potential of the Azure ecosystem, empowering organizations to leverage their operational data for greater efficiency, security, and competitive advantage.

To ensure a seamless 12-week implementation of the CT OT Data Lake convergence, the following strategy will be executed:

1. Connect & Integrate: Securely connect to OT data sources like sensors and alarms, harmonize data with asset management and corporate systems, and provide workflows for historical data imports.
2. Analyse & Curate: Intelligently monitor data quality, apply corrections, and leverage natural language access for enhanced data analysis.
3. Infrastructure & Cybersecurity: Unified incident response and IoT/Edge device management ensure streamlined updates and proactive threat detection with behavioural analysis.

Key Features: • Meta-data Synchronization: Ensures complete synchronization of meta-data, tags, assets, and data models from source to lake house, preserving data integrity. • Optimized Data Handling: Capable of managing tens of millions of tags and hundreds of terabytes of data within a data lake, with optimized schemas to minimize load. • Historical Data Integration: Productized capability to load historical data without affecting source system performance. • Real-Time Data Streaming: Offers streaming of OT data to dashboards within seconds, enabling real-time analytics. • Resilience and Data Integrity: Incorporates native store & forward features to protect data integrity during communication outages and ensures minimal impact on CPU & memory. • Connectivity: Natively connects with Historians, SCADA, PLCs, MES, and other OT systems for unified data flow. • Akri Ready Compatibility: Includes containerized Akri data collectors and data brokers for seamless connectivity to both legacy (e.g., OPC-DA/HDA, PI) and modern systems (e.g., ModbusTCP, BacNET). • Security and Modernization: Maintains robust cybersecurity by detecting high load on source systems and turning off connectors to safeguard performance.

With CT OT Data Liberator, enterprises can liberate OT data for a unified data ecosystem, enhancing operational visibility, optimizing processes, and accelerating digital transformation.
