Better OT Data. Smarter Production
Bring speed, visibility, and resilience to every phase of your operation.
Digital transformation isn’t a future goal, it’s a current mandate. For most manufacturers, the barrier isn’t ambition. It’s access. Disconnected systems, legacy equipment, and complex compliance demands make it difficult to turn raw operational data into meaningful business insight.
From Point Solutions to Plant-Wide Progress
Before: Fragmented Systems. Unused Data.
IT/OT misalignment creates blind spots between the floor and the rest of the enterprise, delaying decisions and driving up the cost of transformation.
After: One Centralized, Normalized Data Layer
Matrikon Data Broker empowers manufacturers to modernize without disruption by transforming fragmented plant data into a unified, secure, and scalable data foundation for growth. Operations get faster OEE feedback, maintenance receives earlier warnings to prevent emergency repairs and extend asset life, and finance sees cost-per-unit dashboards update in real-time.
The Data Backbone of Scalable Manufacturing
The real advantage comes when every department works as one. Quality’s deviation alerts trigger maintenance interventions before defects occur, maintenance’s asset insights free capacity for operations’ throughput goals, and leadership converts these synergies into strategic advantage. The result? Compounding value that turns unified data into enterprise agility.
Built for Manufacturing. Engineered for What’s Next.
How Matrikon Data Broker empowers every department and turns fragmented insight into synchronized execution and scalable growth.
Simulate. Optimize. Deliver
With real-time data from PLCs, SCADA, sensors, and IoT devices, Matrikon Data Broker feeds digital twins with real-time data that mirrors live plant conditions. This allows operations and engineering teams to simulate process changes, optimize setpoints, and predict outcomes without touching a live line. With faster optimization cycles and higher modeling accuracy, teams can boost yield, reduce trial-and-error, and accelerate continuous improvement.

- Reduced risk during changeovers and scale-ups
Predict. Prevent. Perform.
Matrikon Data Broker feeds high-resolution telemetry into predictive maintenance platforms and AI/ML models, so teams can detect anomalies early and act before failure. By unifying asset data across facilities, maintenance becomes proactive, scheduling is smarter, and reliability improves site-wide.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: Maintenance Gains
- Real-time condition monitoring
- Predictive alerts for critical assets
- Health-based maintenance scheduling
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Fewer unexpected shutdowns
- Extended asset lifecycles

Trace Everything. Prove Anything.
Regulatory readiness starts with secure, real-time insight. Matrikon Data Broker logs every data point, from setpoint changes to batch records, in encrypted, traceable formats aligned with FDA, ISO, and other manufacturing standards. With automated traceability, role-based access, and centralized audit logs, quality teams can spot deviations earlier, and leadership can prove compliance without slowing down operations.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: Quality Gains
- Real-time alerts for process variation
- Tamper-evident data logging
- Simplified audit prep with centralized records
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Continuous compliance across sites
- Shorter time-to-resolution during investigations
- Reduced risk of recalls, penalties, or missed certifications
Unify Systems. Secure Growth.
Most digital setbacks stem from integration complexity, not ambition. Matrikon Data Broker acts as a unifying layer between legacy systems, cloud platforms, and modern applications. Its vendor-neutral architecture eliminates protocol mismatches, enables real-time OT/IT collaboration, and supports scalable deployment without forklift upgrades.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: IT Gains
- Native support for legacy and modern protocols
- Outbound-only connections with no inbound firewall rules
- Real-time, low-latency data for analytics and apps
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Faster deployment of digital projects
- Lower total cost of transformation
- Architecture that grows with new tech, teams, and tools

For large-scale operations, this can cut cross-team onboarding time by up to 50%, accelerating rollout while reducing IT burden.
Get the Facts. Fast.
A Unified OT Data Layer (UODL) describes the concept of a foundational enterprise-wide OT data layer, which makes all of a company’s operational data seamlessly and securely available to everyone who needs it. Beyond aggregating OT data into a common address space (like a Universal Name Space (UNS) does), the UODL addresses all aspects of enabling, federating, and managing OT data access, its security, reliability, context, and security.
Matrikon’s UODL vision is to aggregate OT data on a single open-standard platform so that everyone across the enterprise can access meaningful data. This means all teams share the same real-time view of operations, avoiding miscommunication and speeding strategic decision-making.
MDB is built to handle high-data throughput environments. It supports hundreds of thousands of transactions per second with low latency, making it suitable for large-scale, real-time industrial data workloads.
Yes. Matrikon gives you visibility that fosters efficiency. Integrating OT data enterprise-wide provides the precise, real-time insights needed to reduce waste and energy use. For example, identifying underperforming assets quickly enables corrective actions that support sustainability goals.
Matrikon’s MDB platform is plug-and-play for OT data, so you don’t have to build connectivity from scratch. In practice, customers have linked multiple factories to the cloud in weeks rather than months. This means insights and automation come online faster, delivering ROI sooner on digital projects.
Embedding Matrikon connectivity makes your devices plug-and-play in any automation environment. You immediately gain features like secure OPC UA, MQTT, and data modeling. This added value means you can market your product as a complete solution, reducing integration effort for customers. In effect, your product stands out because it offers built-in data infrastructure that competitors may lack.
Success is measured by concrete improvements like reduced downtime, faster deployment times, or lower integration costs. For example, we might aim to cut data retrieval time by 90% or improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Meeting these KPIs shows the Matrikon platform is delivering on its promise.
