Case Study: Metso Halves Project Development Time with Cogent DataHub

Metso Halves Project Development Time with Skkynet’s IIoT Solution

Metso, a global industrial company serving the mining and process industries, needed a faster way to deliver a large Advanced Process Control (APC) project for an ore processing operation in the Middle East. With a tight six-month deadline and a team based in France, Metso turned to Cogent DataHub’s real-time IIoT solution, SkkyHub, to enable remote development and monitoring without sending multiple engineers on-site.

Using Cogent DataHub’s SkkyHub and DataHub/WebView-based OCS-4D DataLink, Metso created a live replica of the customer’s plant in France so engineers could work in parallel on logic, visualization, sensors, and data modeling. The result was a 50% reduction in project time, reduced costs, and up to a 10% efficiency gain in the deployed APC system, while also giving Metso a reusable platform for remote support, maintenance, and future analytics.
