Take charge of your shopfloor data communications with Matrikon Data Broker (MDB), the one-stop solution for the setup and management of a Unified OT data Layer (UODL) for secure data connectivity throughout your OT networks, across enterprise IT networks, and to the cloud.
Overcome complex IT and OT challenges out of the box using advanced Matrikon Data Broker (MDB) functionality that includes:
1. Cloud Communications: set up via the native MQTT Publisher extension for easy cloud vendor integration. (Ex. Azure, AWS, etc.)
2. Firewall and DMZ traversal: seamless, secure OPC UA-based connectivity across nested networks using firewalls and Demilitarized Zones (DMZ). Facilitates inside-out connectivity, a cyber security best practice (via UA Reverse Connect).
3. Consolidation: federate multiple data sources into a single access point. Data source pre-browsing delivers rapid access to source address spaces.
4. OPC Classic support: enables using existing 3rd party OPC classic sources via Matrikon OPC UA Tunneller.
5. Native 3rd Party Connectivity: work directly with 3rd party data sources using MDB Adapters.
6. Data modeling & mapping: user-managed data context for existing and new data sources to make data meaningful for all client applications.
7. Remote management: secure remote deployment and management.
Matrikon Data Broker creates a Unified OT data Layer (UODL) that facilitates data connectivity between OT systems and components on IT networks. MDB nodes may be used as spot solutions for specific data connectivity challenges or enterprise-wide OT-data infrastructure projects.
Matrikon Data Broker defines a software category called Data Technology (DT) because it eliminates IT/OT gaps and other complex data connectivity challenges “under the hood.” The use of DT enables the creation of a Unified OT data Layer (UODL), a single, scalable, and holistic data connectivity experience enterprise-wide.
