CONNECT provides a comprehensive suite of industrial data management services through a modern, RESTful API architecture. The platform is built on a multi-tenant design with microservices that handle different aspects of industrial data collection, storage, analysis, and visualization.

This API architecture delivers practical benefits for industrial organizations seeking to harness their operational data.

• Unified data access—Engineers can retrieve data from disparate industrial systems through a single, consistent interface, eliminating the need to learn multiple proprietary protocols.

• Real-time insights—Operations teams can monitor production metrics, equipment health, and process variables in real-time, enabling immediate response to changing conditions.

• Historical analysis—Data scientists can analyze years of historical process data to identify optimization opportunities and predict maintenance needs without complex data extraction processes.

• Cross-system integration—Application developers can build dashboards and applications that combine data from traditionally siloed systems like DCS, SCADA, MES, and ERP.

• Industrial IoT enablement—Organizations can easily incorporate sensor data from new IoT devices alongside established control systems, creating a comprehensive digital representation of their operations.

The CONNECT API is designed for diverse users across the industrial data ecosystem.

• Software developers building custom applications, dashboards, or integrations with enterprise systems.

• System integrators connecting industrial data sources to business applications.

• Data scientists creating analytical models using operational data.

• OT specialists extending existing industrial automation systems with cloud capabilities.

• IT administrators managing data flow and security between operational and information technology environments.
