Matrikon Data Broker (MDB) manages data access across different control automation sources, whether on the shop floor, throughout your enterprise, or in the cloud
MDB now offers user-controlled OPC UA Data Modeling and Data Mapping. With its intuitive graphical user interface, users can easily drag and drop OPC UA Companion Specification (CS) files into MDB to import new data types. Once imported, users can instantiate and map these types from federated data sources, allowing the organization to work with the data model context rather than the underlying sources.
| MDB utilizes the latest open standard technologies like OPC UA and MQTT to address complex shopfloor connectivity issues and bridge IT/OT gaps. This allows companies to focus on leveraging their shopfloor data rather than struggling to access it. |

Architecture Overview Run Matrikon Data Broker on your operating system as either a local application or a Linux container Matrikon Data Broker introduces a new software category called Data Technology (DT), designed to bridge IT/OT gaps and solve complex data connectivity challenges. DT helps create a Unified OT Data Layer (UODL), providing a scalable and comprehensive data connectivity experience across the enterprise. MDB allows users to focus on deriving value from shopfloor data rather than dealing with access issues. |
