We plug your industrial processes online

Introducing the Tamblue Harpoon®, a revolutionary industrial innovation poised to transform the way we integrate industrial field devices into the digital era.

The Harpoon® is a cutting-edge solution designed to effortlessly bridge the gap between traditional industrial instruments and cloud-based applications through a seamless API interface.

Keep your industrial processes safe

How do you ensure that your situation awareness is crisis resilient?

However, vast majority of this data remains inaccessible on field, leading to misunderstandings, errors and unnecessary work.

This data contains crucial information about process including:

process data
condition monitoring and diagnostics
installed base and asset management data

Data for that is already generated - in your existing field devices

Harpoon gives you access to this data

It connects to field devices (HART, Profibus, etc.) and acts as a digital splice connector without affecting original system functionalities.

Once connected, Harpoon works tirelessly in the background, securely forwarding crucial data from your instrument to a dedicated API.

This ingenious integration ensures that your valuable industrial measurements are readily available to power a multitude of cloud-based applications, paving the way for real-time monitoring, analytics, and data-driven decision-making - based on the Single Source of Truth (SSOT) principle.

Benefits

Doesn’t affect or limit original system functionalities

Complete independency from other devices in system - provides a parallel access to data

Separate from PLC/DCS - no reconfiguration after component changes

Small or even negative cabinet foot print - helps at installation when cabinet space is limited

Access permission functionalities for roles and access rights - plant owner has full control over data

Universal API interface for interoperability - access to data is not technology-dependent

Cybersecurity

In the ever-evolving digital landscape, understanding potential cybersecurity threats is essential. Harpoon is designed to align with the commonly known principles of the CIA triad.

Confidentiality

The data is kept private, secret and secure, only to be accessed by specific parties.

Integrity

The data is safe from accidental or intentional modification of alteration.

Availability

The data is available to authorized users when needed.

FAQs

Yes, it is.
Harpoon is developed with commonly used CIA Triad as a basis principles. It has built-it security measures to make sure that your data is secure.
It also has capabilities to give you full control over who has access to data, which data is the access granted to and for how long is the access granted.
No, it doesn’t.
This might have been a problem with systems in the past, but not with networks today.
Harpoon reads data from field devices and uploads it to Harpoon API. All client applications then read the data from cloud, so your automation system and local network is not loaded in this phase anymore.

Use Cases

Harpoon for HART

Large existing base of HART enabled field devices can be connected online and fully utilized in cloud applications
Harpoon for Fieldbuses

Fieldbus technologies like Profibus will make it possible to gather data from multiple field devices with single point of connection.
Harpoon for Distributed

Distributed systems based on PLCs may contain data you want to use in somewhere else, but you need access to this data first.
