Data is the new gold and Haystack is the key to unlocking its value.

Join us May 13-15 in San Diego to claim your place in the data revolution.

The understanding of the need for semantic modelling of device and equipment data has matured significantly in the last decade, and the requirements and techniques for applying semantic modelling to equipment data are advancing rapidly. The Haystack community has led the way to address these challenges.

The Haystack Connect conference is known for the quality of its technical program and 2019 will raise the bar. GE, Intel, Siemens, Honeywell, DOE and more than 30 other organizations are scheduled to present at this can't miss event. There's only one month left, so register now at www.HaystackConnect.org.

TRACK 2 Haystack 4 – Continuing to Advance the Standard, Tools and Capabilities
There has been a tremendous amount of work over the past two years to enhance and extend Haystack tagging. A core focus of the Technical Track will be a detailed review of Haystack 4—the result of almost two years of work by Working Group 551 and which includes a suite of new features to take modelling your data to the next level. Get an update on the latest version of nHaystack for Niagara systems, see how Current, powered by GE, is applying Haystack 4 to lighting systems and participate in other working groups.
