Skyline Communications Launches DataMiner For Smart Ecosystems

The digital transformation journey has been in full swing for many years, fuelled by the rapid rise of smart sensors, cloud infrastructure, and AI-powered software.

Yet despite this technological momentum, many organisations still struggle to turn fragmented digitisation into unified operational intelligence. As a result, they miss out on the transformative value that true end-to-end digital integration can deliver—from real-time insights to automated decision-making and beyond.

DataMiner for Smart Ecosystems tackles this challenge head-on. As a trailblazing xOps platform, it unifies and enhances the entire digital landscape of any organization, empowering them to become agile, data-driven powerhouses that can finally unlock the full value of their connected environments.

Digital Transformation isn't the goal; it is a means to an end. It is about transitioning into the new data-driven era and effectively starting to operate as a digital entity.
"It doesn't matter whether you operate a smart city, industrial facilities, a transportation hub, seaport, manufacturing plants, event venues, or large commercial buildings. The core objective is the same," commented Ben Vandenberghe, CEO at Skyline Communications. "And that objective is to become an agile data-driven powerhouse, a fully unified digitized entity capable of continuously evaluating the ever faster evolving landscape and constantly leveraging data and controls to generate new value. Innovation, cost reduction, optimising the use of resources, security, and anything else imaginable: in the future it is all rooted in data and controls."
"While digitising in pockets left and right, organisations fail to achieve that very existential objective. Some are stuck patching together disjointed smart point solutions, draining funds and time, and this while still dealing with data silos, limited visibility, fragmented control, and much more—despite all efforts. Patching together is a failed strategy," added Bert Vandenberghe, CTO at Skyline Communications. "Custom data-driven stacks are the only other option. While more fitting and well-intended, this also easily falls short as it’s prohibitively expensive, time-consuming, and incredibly complex."

The DataMiner xOps platform is purpose-designed to enable smart ecosystems to step beyond digital transformation, quickly and cost-efficiently, and to focus on capitalizing on their data and controls like never before.

"Smart ecosystems are becoming increasingly complex, with new assets and rapidly evolving technologies emerging at an unprecedented pace. DataMiner unifies them all, integrating with any sensor, any IoT device, any industrial controller, and any vendor platform. Ensuring that organisations have full, real-time visibility and control over their entire ecosystem at all times," explained Dean Muzicka, Director Market Development at Skyline Communications. "DataMiner constructs a comprehensive, real-time digital twin of your entire ecosystem, whether it's an entire smart city, a high-traffic airport, an industrial production plant, or a multi-venue event hub. This provides a holistic, dynamic representation of all assets, infrastructure, and environmental conditions, enabling instant, data-driven decision-making. This is the game-changing foundation for agile data-driven powerhouses."

"With DataMiner, organisations own and are able to unlock the full potential of their data and controls, and that's essential to everything. DataMiner’s open enabling architecture and its vast array of out-of-the-box transformational functions then empower people to innovate continuously," added Dean Muzicka.

Already proven by countless organisations with complex technology ecosystems around the world, DataMiner is also leaving its mark on smart ecosystems. For example, Belgian energy management company Noven uses the platform to power its smart building operations and to transform a classic engineering consultancy service into a high-impact Energy-as-a-Service offering. A textbook example of a successful xOps transformation.

"With DataMiner, we've integrated thousands of technical components into one digital ecosystem," said Menno Janssens, CEO & Co-founder at Noven. "This gives us for example the data insights and controls we need to run our heat pumps efficiently and maintain optimal comfort for our customers. And we are now continuously innovating and adapting more efficiently than ever before."

The opportunities that DataMiner presents are limitless. Other use cases include for example empowering organizations to redefine how they manage large fleets of EVs.
"With the introduction of EV fleets, many organizations suddenly found themselves in a far more dynamic and data-driven ecosystem, with various new challenges related to for instance cost management and regulatory compliance. But this boils down to the exact same principles," commented Kim Meerschman, VP Finance & Investments at Skyline. "And again, DataMiner proved to be the answer. In no time, it integrates data from large fleets of EVs, charging station networks, real-time energy prices, company policies, and much more. And it delivered spot-on data-driven answers to any use case that emerged, on the fly and at a fraction of the cost and time."

"It really doesn't matter what the exact ecosystem is or what the use cases at hand are. The latter will always evolve in an ever more unpredictable world," concluded Benjamin Bajraktarević, Business Development Manager at Skyline Communications. "You need to be ready to respond swiftly and efficiently, and you need to fully own the data that differentiates you from everybody else and to leverage that data to set you apart from others, to innovate and to excel. This is exactly what the DataMiner xOps platform is purpose-designed for. It is one of the most strategic and essential assets for organizations. Because it is not so much about the sensors and fancy tech that you deploy, but much more about what you will do with those and how you unlock their real potential. And DataMiner is the key to that."
