CES DataHub
Cloud-Based Intelligence for Industrial Assets
CES DataHub is a secure, enterprise-grade asset intelligence platform that transforms raw sensor inputs into predictive, operational decision support.
Built on a scalable cloud architecture, DataHub integrates chemical, mechanical and operational data streams into a unified monitoring environment — delivering real-time visibility, predictive analytics and automated workflow integration across fixed and mobile assets.
A Unified Industrial Technology Stack
CES DataHub combines rugged field hardware with a sophisticated, AI-enabled software ecosystem.
-
Data Collection Layer
Industrial-grade sensors and controller interfaces capture live data from:
- Inline FTIR fluid analysis via FluidInspectIR
- Vibration accelerometers
- Temperature & pressure sensors
- Optical particle counters (ISO 4406)
- Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) systems
- Fuel dilution and contamination sensors
- GPS & telemetry modules
- PLC, DCS, VSD and ECU controller systems
Data is securely uploaded (maximum hourly collection or real-time where required) to eliminate silos across distributed assets and remote sites.
-
Analytics Engine
The core analytics engine processes multi-sensor data into:
- Real-time monitoring dashboards
- Automated alerts & condition thresholds
- Trend analysis and degradation modelling
- KPI tracking & benchmarking against OEM standards
- Cross-asset performance comparison
- Emissions and fuel efficiency tracking
For example, the platform can correlate oil oxidation trends with vibration frequency spikes and pressure drops to predict early bearing degradation — converting isolated data points into actionable insight.
For aquatics and compliance environments, hybrid dashboards allow manual vs automated validation (e.g. pH and chlorine comparison), supporting 12-month compliance record retention where required.
-
Integration Middleware
A key differentiator of CES DataHub is its robust integration middleware layer.
The platform leverages:
- Open-standard APIs
- Secure encrypted data channels
- Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication
- Modbus, OPC UA and IEC 61850 protocols
This enables seamless connectivity with:
- SCADA systems
- ERP platforms
- PLC, DCS and VSD environments
- Transformer monitoring systems
- Aquatic controllers (e.g. ProMinent / Chemtrol)
External datasets — including OEM operational, diagnostic and design data — can be ingested and fused with live sensor streams, enriching predictive modelling and benchmarking capability.
This ensures compatibility without requiring major infrastructure overhauls.
Spectrolytic Partnership & Inline Intelligence
As Master Distributor for Spectrolytic in Australia and New Zealand, CES integrates world-leading inline FTIR technology directly into the DataHub ecosystem.
FluidInspectIR® delivers:
- Hourly, non-destructive analysis
- Lab-equivalent accuracy (±5% per DIN/ASTM standards)
- Monitoring of oxidation, TAN/TBN, viscosity, additives, soot, water, glycol and fuel dilution
- No manual sampling requirements
This exclusive partnership ensures:
- Full local hardware & software support
- Local manufacturing & customisation
- Rapid deployment and servicing
- Seamless predictive alerting within DataHub
The result is real-time chemical intelligence embedded directly into an AI-driven analytics framework.
