The Real-Time Operational Foundation for Modern Industrial Operations
Connect. Control. Contextualize. Deliver.
Building on more than 25 years of production-proven experience, CONNECT 2027 connects machines, systems, applications, and databases to control information flow, contextualize real-time operational data, and deliver meaningful insights to people, applications, analytics, and AI.
Data is Often Spread Across
Disconnected Systems
Organizations rely on a wide variety of technologies, equipment, and software platforms to run their operations. From control systems and connected devices to reporting and business applications, these systems often operate independently using different communication protocols, creating information silos that limit real-time operational visibility and coordinated decision-making.
CONNECT Isn't Merely Monitoring the Operation.
It Has Been Participating in It for Decades.
Organizations depend on reliable access to information from the systems that support their operations. As technologies evolve, integration platforms must evolve with them.
25+
Years of Reliable Industrial Connectivity
For more than 25 years, CONNECT has served as the operational backbone of industrial facilities – acquiring, transforming, and moving information in real time between shop-floor control systems and enterprise applications.
Beyond enterprise connectivity, CONNECT also executes business rules, coordinates operational processes, and supports the real-time control decisions that keep production running.
Built for continuous 24/7 operation across demanding industrial environments.
Designed for continuous operation, CONNECT delivers dependable 24/7 performance while supporting the real-time exchange of critical operational data.
Proven across decades of industrial deployments, CONNECT provides a reliable and flexible integration foundation that adapts to evolving technologies, communication standards, and business requirements; ensuring dependable operational connectivity today while supporting the needs of tomorrow.
24/7 OPERATION
Designed for continuous operation in demanding industrial environments
RELIABLE DATA EXCHANGE
Consistent, dependable communication you can count on
REAL-TIME CONNECTIVITY
Enables real-time data flow so you can monitor, respond, and optimize with confidence
BI-DIRECTIONAL
INTEGRATION
Enables seamless, two-way communication and control across systems.
OPEN + CONFIGURABLE
Enables flexible integration and customization to meet evolving operational needs.
20+ DATALINKS
Broad connectivity across technologies, protocols, and industry standards
Today, CONNECT includes more than 20 DataLinks that provide connectivity to a wide variety of devices, applications, databases, and software platforms. These DataLinks support numerous communication protocols, industry standards, and vendor-specific technologies, enabling information to be exchanged across disparate systems.
From Real-Time Data to Live Operational Context
Industrial operations generate enormous amounts of data—but that data is often distributed across PLCs, HMIs, SCADA, MES, ERP, databases, historians, APIs, smart devices, and other systems.
CONNECT 2027 brings that information together and adds the production context needed to make it useful.
CONNECT
Acquire and Move
Connect to industrial technologies, applications, databases, and systems. Move information in real time using event, time, transaction, or custom triggers.
CONTROL
Apply Logic and Rules
Move information bi-directionally and execute the rules, transformations, interlocks, and process logic required to coordinate real operations.
CONTEXTUALIZE
Add Production Meaning
Turn live operational signals into usable information by organizing them around context such as line, asset, shift, plant, part, process, time, and status.
DELIVER
Make Information Available Where It Is Needed
Expose trusted operational information to workers, applications, enterprise systems, analytics platforms, and AI through open standards and interfaces.
CONNECT 2027 builds on more than 25 years of production runtime—connecting machines, systems, applications, and databases; moving information bi-directionally; applying logic and rules; and supporting the real-time decisions that keep operations running.
Now, CONNECT extends that same production-proven foundation upward—organizing real-time operational data into meaningful context and making it available to people, applications, analytics, and AI.
From Real-Time Operational Context to Coordinated Action
CONNECT provides the production-proven, real-time operational foundation - connecting, controlling, contextualizing, and delivering information across the operation.
SQUEAKS uses that context to orchestrate human response to create measurable response intelligence.
The Same Proven Platform. A Broader Mission.
CONNECT 2027 is not a departure from what CONNECT has always done. It extends it.
The same platform that has helped industrial organizations reliably move information and support production decisions in real time can now provide a unified operational context for:
Connected Workers
Management applications
Enterprise Systems
Analytics
AI and Copilots
Operational Dashboards
SQUEAKS Response Orchestration + Response Intelligence
Technology-Partner Application
This allows organizations to build on a production-proven foundation rather than recreating plant-floor connectivity and data normalization application by application.
Industrial AI Needs Live Operational Context
AI is only as useful as the operational context behind it.
CONNECT 2027 provides real-time machine, process, production, and asset context so AI platforms can work with information that reflects what is actually happening now in the operation—not simply historical or periodically synchronized data.
CONNECT can organize and expose that context through open technologies and standards including APIs, MQTT Sparkplug, OPC UA, CESMII i3X, MCP, databases, and other interfaces.
From the Plant Floor to AI
The objective is not to create another AI platform.
It is to provide the trusted, real-time operational foundation that makes industrial AI more useful.
Powerful DataLinks for Operational Connectivity
DataLinks provide the communication channels between CONNECT and the devices, applications, databases, and systems that support your operations. Each DataLink is designed to enable reliable data exchange with specific technologies, protocols, or software platforms. The following DataLinks are included with CONNECT. Additional DataLinks are also available to support a broader range of integration requirements.
