Belden announced the launch of its new Belden Horizon Data Operations (BHDO) and Belden Horizon Data Manager (BHDM) industrial data operations solutions. As the adoption of the industrial internet of things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 advances, the volume of data available from connected operational technology (OT) devices grows, providing opportunities for enterprises to use data to improve business decision-making.

The new additions to the Belden Horizon software-based services suite work in concert to meet these expanding requirements by empowering industrial organizations to address data complexity through secure and managed data access, analytics and integration.

BHDO and BHDM enable industrial organizations to extract actionable insights from OT assets in a more efficient and secure manner to reveal areas to streamline production processes, enhance operational efficiency and improve uptime. BHDO collects and analyzes OT data at the network edge and transmits it to information technology (IT) destinations for further analysis and action, while BHDM manages distributed BHDO deployments.
BHDO and BHDM offer powerful features:

• 250+ supported OT protocols and easy integration into dozens of IT system types.
• Digital twins and analytics tooling empower users to collect, contextualize and analyze data at the edge.
• Scalable to support large or remote deployments by using BHDM software to manage many BHDO instances.
