middleware for Industry 4.0

How the OPC Router works

The OPC Router works like a universal translator for your systems. It enables communication between all systems and protocols and can be easily integrated into existing automation and production environments. With the right Plug-ins, you can connect different automation systems with each other via drag & drop and build your Industry 4.0 structure. In our video, we show you how quick and easy it is to get started with the OPC Router and what the most important operating elements are:

Replace outdated communication processes

As a central communication platform, the OPC Router offers automated data exchange by integrating all systems and stand-alone solutions – from sensors to the cloud. It enables complete integration of PLC, DCS, SCADA, MES, SQL servers, label printers, email servers and ERP systems.

By recording your process data, you have a continuous overview of your production. The possible applications are virtually unlimited and can be implemented by you. The OPC Router can be used simply by drag & drop – no programming skills are required.

Wi With the OPC Router you get:

  • Standard interfaces for data exchange
  • State-of-the-art middleware for IoT and Industry 4.0 projects
  • The connection of all industry-relevant systems via powerful modular Plug-ins
  • A perfect basis for your production optimization through complete transparency of your data
  • A user-friendly user interface for creating connections via drag & drop

OPC Router Benefits

Wide range of connection options

Thanks to its numerous Plug-ins, the OPC Router can be used flexibly. In both simple and complex system environments, it can connect a wide variety of applications with each other, e.g.

  • Cloud platforms
  • Database systems
  • MES and ERP systems

In this way, processes are holistically optimised, productivity and effectiveness are increased and your company is sustainably modernised.

Automated data exchange

By using OPC Router to connect your systems, you reach a new level of digitalization. A higher level of digitalisation enables you to:

  • save costs and time
  • minimise or avoid errors
  • achieve transparent processes

With automatic messages in real time and better monitoring of your machines, you optimise your processes in the long term.

Simple operation via drag & drop

The OPC Router is a “no code” application for which you do not need any programming knowledge.

The graphical user interface of the OPC Router is

  • simply structured
  • clearly organised
  • intuitively operable

Connections of individual elements of your system environment can be established and visualised by drag & drop.

OPC UA – the communication standard
in Industry 4.0

What is OPC UA?

OPC UA is a platform-independent way to communicate between different devices. It is used in all automation levels and enables the connection between a wide range of systems. OPC UA is therefore treated as one of the most important IoT / Industry 4.0 protocols. All details can be found in our article: “What is OPC UA?“. The OPC Router acts as OPC Client software for OPC DA and OPC UA:

OPC UA as a communication standard in Industry 4.0

  • With the OPC Client Plug-inyou can read and write data points from OPC Servers: optimal for industrial data acquisition from any PLC or other devices

  • Full performance for secure communication

  • Transfers are triggered cyclically, on data change, per bit, counter or missing thresholds, bit feedback on successful or faulty transfer

  • The OPC Router can serve as a data logger, machine to machine gateway, IoT driver or gateway between PLC and other systems such as ERP, database or email

OPC to SQL – Data exchange
with SQL databases

In the various production levels, databases are an important source and target for data. Production processes have to be provided with order information, recipes or machine data. Large amounts of data are generated and stored in the process. These are all aspects of the IoT/IIoT (Internet of Things/Industrial Internet of Things) and Industry 4.0.

The OPC Router is a software-based middleware that connects databases and different sources and thus drives the idea of IoT/IIoT and Industry 4.0.

The ease of implementation and administration maximises remote data access while keeping operating costs low.

OPC Router Data exchange with SQL

  • Integration and ETL tools for all systems and isolated applications

  • Setting up machine to machine applications (M2M)

  • Realisation of self-controlling production through automated data queries
