Industrial data integration: OPC UA, MQTT and edge

Industrial AI needs reliable data first. We connect your existing equipment without replacing it or opening a security gap.

Pricing
Fixed price, on quotation
Typical duration
4 to 8-week pilot on one line
Who it is for
Plants launching AI or predictive maintenance projects · Sites with PLCs and machines from different generations

Who it is for

  • Plants launching AI or predictive maintenance projects
  • Sites with PLCs and machines from different generations
  • Manufacturers that want to stay in control of their data

Why now

  1. Every industrial AI project assumes production data that is collected, reliable and contextualised.
  2. Industrial equipment lasts 20 to 50 years: it should be connected through separate data interfaces rather than by modifying PLCs.
  3. Every new connection is also an attack surface: integration must be designed together with OT segmentation.

Deliverables

What we deliver

  • Inventory of data sources and protocols (proprietary, Modbus, Profinet, OPC UA)
  • Collection architecture: edge gateways, OPC UA, MQTT
  • Data model and context (lines, machines, products)
  • Historian and data exposure to applications
  • Integration into OT network segmentation
  • Starter dashboards and built-in analytics

Method

How the engagement runs

  1. 1

    Pick the use case

    One line, one business question: availability, quality, energy.

  2. 2

    Connect

    Install gateways and collect from equipment without modifying PLCs.

  3. 3

    Model

    Structure and contextualise the data, historise it.

  4. 4

    Operate

    First dashboards, validation with the teams, site roll-out plan.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to modify our PLCs?

No, in the vast majority of cases. Collection goes through gateways and separate data interfaces, which preserves the safety and validation of existing programs.

Where is the data stored?

Wherever you decide: on site, on a sovereign cloud or in your existing infrastructure. The architecture keeps you in control of your data.

Do you sell predictive maintenance?

Analytics is part of the service, but we do not sell it on its own: its value depends entirely on the quality of the integration and the data. So we start there.
