Connectivity
Bring together data from distributed controllers, sensors, and measuring devices in one central place
Connect heterogeneous data sources, consolidate them centrally, and provide them in a structured and secure way for IT applications, databases, analytics, and AI.
Architecture
The foundation for monitoring and optimization - one central data layer for all production data
Data sources in production environments are highly diverse and heterogeneous. Integrating and consolidating them is complex and error-prone. Distributed data aggregation makes it easy to connect a wide range of sources, combine them centrally, and provide them in a structured and secure way for your IT applications.
Data Sources
Easily integrate new machine modules and control systems thanks to extensive support for fieldbus protocols.
Connect individual field systems via OPC UA clients, digital I/O, IO-Link, or other interfaces
Connect measuring instruments and lab equipment with the HTTP REST or SiLA2 module
Data Sinks
Provide data for IT applications via OPC UA, MQTT, WebSockets, or HTTP(S) REST
Store production data in a structured way using retavi database adapters for InfluxDB, MongoDB, and MySQL
How It Works
Connect Data Sources
Select a suitable communication module and configure the connection to your data source using the integrated web interface or our intuitive VS Code plugin. The OPC UA server is scanned automatically and mapped into the internal data model.
Create Data Sinks
Select a suitable database adapter or communication module. With simple mapping, define which data should be stored automatically in the selected database or forwarded through the selected communication module.
Operation
The internal data model, including live values, is always visible in a structured way in the integrated web interface. Distributed data aggregation works cyclically and state-based, similar to a traditional PLC. Cycle times of up to 20 ms are easily achievable on standard IT hardware.
