Simple and Independent Access to Controller Data

• Read and write access to data in controllers from leading manufacturers
• Use without modifying control program
• Easy integration of existing and new controllers into “Industrie 4.0“* solutions
• Integration of non-OPC UA-capable components, such as Siemens S7 controllers, into OPC UA solutions
• Cost savings through further use of already existing OPC Classic components
• Gateway functionality for connecting controllers and components with integrated OPC UA Server to OPC Classic applications

Gateway to Big Data and IoT Clouds Solutions

• Integration of automation devices via MQTT Publisher, MindConnect and REST Client functionality in IoT cloud applications, e.g. Siemens MindSphere, Bosch PPM or Microsoft IoT Connected Factory
• State-of-the-art security by SSL/TLS support, including certificates

No Need for DCOM Configuration

• Integration of automation devices via MQTT Publisher and REST Client functionality in IoT cloud applications, e.g. IBM Watson Cloud or Microsoft IoT Connected Factory
• Easy integration of production data into NoSQL Big Data storage solutions such as MongoDB
• State-of-the-art security by SSL/TLS support, including certificates

Easy Configuration

• Modern, intuitive graphical user interface for fast OPC communication configuration
• Use of smart hands-on defaults, setup wizards and drag-and-drop support
• Time savings through effective and efficient configuration of distrubuted automation systems with many OPC UA and OPC Classic Servers
