Data integration and management
Create context from cloud and on-premise sources
Solid business intelligence is vital. Add to a unified data-fueled view of your organization by placing your machine data into context. Here are the tools to ingest, manage, und seamlessly integrate data from any source - in the cloud or on premises; systems or applications; finance, planning, IT, or shop floor.
How you ingest data into your data lake
With APIs
APIs extract data from your source and load it into your data lake. You can use any HTTP API with OpenAPI definitions or message-driven API with AsyncAPI specs for your data integration solution.
Using SDK
As a cross-platform C software development kit and API library, MindConnect LIB brings together functionalities that help your apps and APIs connect to MindSphere, exchange data, and feed your data lake.
With soft connectors
MindConnect Integration comprises both a library of ready-to-use connectors and a low-code graphical DIY tool for building connectors. Ready-to-go connectors cover systems, from PLCs and SCADA to ERP as well as service platforms like Salesforce.
By upload
A single file or bulk data, with MindSphere's clean, quick, and clutterfree user interface you can drop data into your lake whenever and wherever it's ready to go.
How you store and manage your data
Your data lake
Capable of handling large data pools, MindSphere's data lake is a repository where you store your data, structured and unstructured, in its native format. Schemata and data requirements remain undefined until you query the data.
Your data lake natively integrates with MindSphere analytics and MindSphere visualization tools. A built-for-convenience user interface, MindSphere's data lake app, helps you administer the data lake while APIs provide automated processes with direct access to data in your data lake.
