ORPAON DataHub
Industrial IoT (IIoT) data hub: legacy machines stay in place — their data still reaches the cloud
Target customers
Factories with mixed equipment brands, many protocols and data scattered across systems; integrators and platform providers building equipment networking / data middle platforms.
Typical symptoms
- Legacy machines expose only OPC / SCADA configuration interfaces; data cannot reach the cloud
- OPC DA and Web API each built separately, maintenance costs high
- PLC→MQTT cloud chains rely on custom development, redone for every project
Solution path
Point list integration → protocol aggregation (OPC DA / SCADA configuration Web API / PLC) → uplink channels (MQTT / WebSocket) → real-time large-screen data flow.
Core features
- OPC DA cloud gateway for legacy machines
- SCADA configuration data exposed as Web API: JWT authentication + paginated queries
- PLC → MQTT / WebSocket uplink channels: heartbeat / automatic reconnect / key authentication
- PLC → data hub → SignalR → Web large screen real-time chain
- Reusable component assets: aggregated IoT access, OPC DA aggregation, SCADA configuration data services and OEE data hub
Engineering evidence
Deployment evidence already exists; maturity: mature and reusable.
Pump station telemetry to the cloud has gateway integration evidence at a single site; the cleaning-equipment data middle platform and line OEE real-time large screen scenarios must be confirmed against specific cases and applicable scope, and are not merged into a single "deployed" claim.
Expansion path
Single-line data aggregation → plant-wide data hub → linkage with MES / EMS / traceability → data-middle-platform-style delivery.
Applicability conditions
- Equipment has PLC / instrument communication ports
- A multi-protocol aggregation or cloud connectivity need exists
- There is a clear data consumer (large screen / MES / analysis systems)
Non-applicability conditions
- Purely mechanical scenarios with no communication ports and no plan to add them
- Requests to replace upper-level MES / EMS business systems — DataHub is a data-link layer, not the main business system
Pilot approach
Pick one production line for a data aggregation + cloud connectivity pilot; pilot scope, timeline and acceptance criteria are confirmed by both parties after investigation.
FAQ
Can legacy machines without network ports be connected?
If there is a PLC / instrument communication port, integration can be evaluated; for scenarios without ports, add-on options can be assessed.
Which cloud connectivity methods are supported?
MQTT / WebSocket / Web API, selected per the customer's network and security standards.
Will it replace our MES?
No — DataHub is a data-link layer that provides data services to upper-level systems.
