- Streamlined regulatory compliance
Modernize Without Downtime
Upgrading aging fossil fuel systems often means risking downtime or deploying parallel systems. Matrikon Data Broker enables modular modernization by unifying live and historical data, so engineers can simulate new control strategies, validate asset behavior, and implement upgrades without affecting live operations.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: Engineering Gains
- Live digital simulations
- Asset degradation analysis
- Upgrade validation before cutover
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Faster commissioning
- Longer asset life
- Modernized controls without disruption
Report Faster. Prove More.
Emissions, water discharge, and site safety regulations are only becoming stricter, but many fossil plants still rely on manual logs, post-event reporting, or incomplete data pulled from disparate systems. Matrikon Data Broker connects emissions monitors, stack sensors, and safety systems into one streamlined operational data layer, so you’re always audit-ready and have the tools to prepare for what’s next.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: ESG Gains
- Live emissions monitoring
- Automated environmental and safety logs
- Real-time safety system oversight
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Continuous audit readiness
- Faster, easier compliance reporting
- Clearer ESG performance metrics
Stay Productive and Protected
If you can’t see what’s happening on the ground, you can’t lead from the top. Matrikon Data Broker gives executives the real-time visibility needed to balance reliability, emissions, and cost to make capital decisions that align with plant floor reality.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: Leadership Gains
- Fleet-wide KPIs and benchmarking
- Live production and cost tracking
- Real-time performance oversight
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Strategy aligned with real-world conditions
- Greater organizational accountability
- Balanced production and sustainability goals

Solution Spotlight: Continuity Across Control Rooms
For fossil fuel power generators, uninterrupted telemetry from boilers, turbines, and field substations is critical. Matrikon Data Broker ensures resilient data flow across assets with redundancy, buffering, and distributed federation. Clients can reduce manual “data stitching” tasks during SCADA recovery, freeing teams to focus on operational improvements, not error correction.
*Based on industry-standard SCADA recovery insights

Aging assets and siloed systems make it harder to prevent downtime. MDB unifies boiler, turbine, and auxiliary system data into one contextualized layer, giving your monitoring and diagnostic tools the complete picture they need to detect issues earlier, validate fixes faster, and keep units running more reliably.
Yes. MDB securely moves operational and environmental data in line with NERC CIP and IEC 62443 requirements, while maintaining audit logs for traceability. By feeding emissions monitors and safety systems into one source of truth, MDB gives compliance teams the trusted data needed to generate faster, more accurate reports.
No. MDB connects legacy DCS and PLC assets alongside new sensors and control systems. This lets engineers test new strategies, validate upgrades, and introduce modern technologies without rip-and-replace projects — all fueled by consistent, real-time data.
MDB normalizes data across sites, regardless of OEM or system age. This enables executive dashboards and analytics tools to compare fuel efficiency, emissions, and reliability on a common basis, helping leaders balance production costs and sustainability goals at scale.
Analytics and AI/ML platforms only perform as well as the data they receive. MDB ensures these tools get secure, contextualized, and standardized OT data from all systems — making insights, automation, and digital projects more accurate and more likely to succeed.
MDB transmits data outbound-only, encrypted end-to-end, so no inbound firewall ports are required. It integrates with enterprise PKI, provides full audit logging, and aligns with IEC 62443 — enabling IT and OT teams to apply modern cybersecurity practices without changing existing control systems.
The benefits depend on the projects your business is driving — MDB fuels those initiatives with the OT data they need. Typical improvements include:
- Faster root-cause analysis leading to fewer outages
- Shorter compliance reporting cycles with audit-ready data
- Extended equipment life through better visibility
- Quicker commissioning of modernization projects
MDB makes it more likely that your projects deliver results on time, on budget, and at scale.
