From "Pick Up the Phone" to Right-Click Insight
Discover how a single secure OPC UA channel replaced manual lookups, eliminated firewall risk, and delivered the data integration a $500K rail modernization depended on.
Inside the Integration
Here’s how MDB turned a disconnected workflow into real-time transparency:
The Challenge
Houston Metro needed to securely move data between two isolated networks.
The Solution
MDB used an outbound-only OPC UA connection with Honeywell File Transfer Utility to move files safely across boundaries.
The Impact
Controllers can instantly see who’s operating each train, with three years of unified data available for compliance playback.

The Bottom Line: Secure Connectivity Without Added Complexity
MDB solved today’s visibility gap and created a stronger foundation for tomorrow’s integrations.
MDB’s IEC 62443-4-1–certified development lifecycle for cybersecurity engineered into design.
Houston Metro’s existing infrastructure stayed intact. MDB connected what was already there.
The same OPC UA channel now powering crew data is already unlocking the next phase of integrations.
