From Line-Level Fixes to Enterprise-Wide Momentum
Fuel the insight you need with OT data to accomplish more with less effort, stay compliant, and outpace disruption.
In a market shaped by speed, safety, and shifting demand, every reading carries weight. Matrikon Data Broker provides full OT data visibility to unlock compounding performance gains across teams.
Turn Every Data Point Into a Strategic Enabler
Before: Disconnected Systems, Limited Visibility
Manual data pulls, delays in root cause analysis, and gaps in traceability turn every deviation into a scramble and audits into fire drills.
After: Unified Data, Accelerated Action
Matrikon Data Broker creates a centralized OT data layer that syncs legacy equipment and modern sensors, so your MES, ERP, and QA tools work from the same real-time data. Every department is empowered, from maintenance teams to leadership, propelling exponential enterprise-wide progress.
Good Ingredients Lead to Great Outcomes
When one department gains access to live, contextualized OT data, it doesn’t just improve their outcomes — it accelerates performance across the board. Each new connection adds exponential value, turning a single source of truth into a force multiplier across the enterprise.
From Half-Baked Insight to Total Clarity
Unify real-time data across departments so every team reaches its full potential and your organization reaps the benefits.
Run Smoother. Waste Less.
Operators can’t optimize what they can’t see. When packaging lines, mixers, ovens, and fillers all use different protocols, or aren’t connected at all, errors go undetected, OEE suffers, and teams rely on guesswork. MDB connects equipment and sensors in real-time, across legacy and modern systems.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: Plant-Level Gains
- Track line performance in real time to cut changeover delays
- Predict equipment issues before they disrupt peak production
- Keep data flowing with edge buffering during network hiccups
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Higher throughput during seasonal spikes
- Unified production metrics across lines and facilities
- Faster commissioning and standardization of equipment rollouts
Zero Doubt. Zero Delay.
When food safety data lives in spreadsheets, traceability is fragile and compliance becomes reactive. Matrikon Data Broker streams contextualized, timestamped data from PLCs, batch systems, and sensors directly into QA and regulatory systems, providing full visibility, from raw ingredients to finished goods.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: QA Gains
- Automated audit logs simplify FSMA and ISO 22000 compliance
- Real-time CIP cycle tracking ensures sanitation is validated
- Live monitoring of HACCP-critical limits in QA dashboards
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Reduced product holds and rework
- Faster response during recalls or deviations
- Strengthened brand trust through documented food safety controls
Stock Right. Move Faster.
Disconnected demand, inventory, and line performance data lead to overproduction, material waste, and inefficient procurement. MDB connects consumption and production data to your ERP and planning systems, enabling just-in-time decisions and tighter supplier coordination.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: Supply Chain Gains
- Real-time material usage data improves forecasting accuracy
- Supplier performance insights strengthen sourcing decisions
- Live inventory monitoring helps prevent stockouts and delays
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Reduced spoilage and carrying costs
- Improved vendor scorecarding and delivery accuracy
- Synchronized S&OP execution between plants and corporate
Lock Down Every Link
Too often, integrating OT data means creating security gaps — exposing PLCs to inbound traffic, adding firewall exceptions, or patching together multiple gateways. MDB solves this with encrypted, outbound-only initiated OT data flows and certificate-based access control across the board.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: IT Gains
- Secure data sharing across networks without exposing OT systems
- Role-based access limits data visibility to the right users
- Encryption and audit trails streamline security and compliance reviews
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Stronger OT/IT collaboration without sacrificing control
- Reduced integration complexity and IT overhead
- Alignment with IEC 62443 and ISO 27001 policies
Numbers You Can Trust
Finance teams need fast, reliable insight into production performance, waste, and throughput to guide budgeting and investment. MDB provides real-time visibility into cost-driving variables, such as downtime, yield, and energy use, so leaders can take action based on insights backed by data rather than estimates.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: Financial Gains
- Real-time performance data supports accurate cost analysis
- Energy usage insights inform ESG and budgeting strategies
- Faster reconciliation of labor and material variances across sites
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Confident capital planning with current data
- Improved margins through visibility into process efficiency
- Aligned metrics across finance, ops, and plant management

In F&B, time is tight and data clarity is non-negotiable. Yet many teams still rely on raw tags and custom scripts to prep OT data for analytics and compliance. Matrikon Data Broker enables dynamic loading of pre-built F&B data models (based on the OPC UA open standard’s Companion Specifications) to cut configuration time by up to 70%, accelerating commissioning and compliance.
Still Curious? We Like That.
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.
