One Platform. Enterprise-Wide Impact.
The more teams integrate, the more value they create for each other and the organization as a whole.
Matrikon Data Broker connects mobile fleets, fixed infrastructure, and specialized control systems into a single contextualized data fabric.
From Siloed Teams to Strategic Asset
Before: Isolated Departments. Delayed Decisions.
Fragmented protocols, disconnected assets, and site-specific infrastructure block coordination. Maintenance stays reactive, dispatchers lack visibility, and corporate decisions lag behind the field.
After: One Trusted Layer for Real-Time Control
Matrikon Data Broker unifies fleet, plant, and environmental data via secure outbound-only connections, enabling consistent insight across control rooms, planning tools, ESG dashboards, and enterprise analytics. When every site and department speaks the same language, your operation becomes a goldmine for growth.
One Layer. Infinite Leverage.
When one part of the operation runs at peak performance, others feel the benefit. But when every team, from mobile equipment and processing to environmental monitoring and planning, is connected and reaching their full potential, performance starts compounding organization-wide.
From Pit to Port, MDB Elevates Every Phase
Here’s how a single OT data layer connecting departments becomes an enterprise-wide strategic enabler.
Faster Cycles. More Throughput.
Performance in the mining, minerals, and metal industries hinges on real-time visibility across mobile fleets, fixed infrastructure, and control systems. MDB unifies telemetry from these sources into one real-time operational view, empowering smarter dispatching, optimized haul cycles, and tighter control over throughput.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: Operational Gains
- Real-time equipment location, load, and fuel insights
- Cut haul cycle times with real-time data-based dispatching decisions
- Higher asset utilization and haul efficiency
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Increased throughput without added fleet
- Reduced fuel costs and idle time
- Greater ROI on existing infrastructure
Precision That Pays
Processing efficiency is only as strong as the data feeding it. MDB transforms unstructured signals from PLCs, sensors, and DCS systems into time-aligned, contextualized data sets across crushing, grinding, flotation, and leaching units. With one normalized OT layer, operations teams can identify process variation, predict throughput shifts, and tune setpoints to reduce quality deviations, ensure stability, and maximize recovery rates.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: Processing Gains
- Time-aligned data from DCS, PLCs, and sensors
- Early detection of process variation
- AI/ML-ready data for advanced optimization
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Higher recovery with lower waste
- Consistent product quality
- Stabilized output for downstream planning
Prevent. Protect. Perform.
Asset reliability hinges on detecting anomalies before they become failures. Matrikon Data Broker federates high-resolution data from pumps, drives, conveyors, and mobile machinery, and streams them into your AI/ML models and predictive maintenance platforms. Our solution enables edge-level analytics, centralized monitoring, condition-based alerts, and failure-trend recognition, helping maintenance teams extend asset lifespan and reduce unplanned downtime.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: Maintenance Gains
- Condition-based alerts for critical assets
- Early warnings via edge-level analytics
- Maintenance scheduling based on actual equipment health
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Reduced unscheduled downtime
- Longer asset lifespans
- More accurate production forecasting
Audit-Ready. Always.
ESG and environmental compliance now require granular, verifiable data. Matrikon Data Broker delivers encrypted, timestamped telemetry from emissions monitors, flow meters, and control systems directly into your reporting platforms.
With secure, outbound-initiated data flows and automated traceability, MDB supports continuous emissions monitoring, real-time water usage tracking, and conformance with site-level certifications. Compliance becomes part of your day-to-day process, not a separate burden.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: ESG Gains
- Secure, encrypted outbound-only telemetry
- Automated tracking for emissions, water, and flow data
- Centralized certificate management and audit logs
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Easier conformance with ESG and site certifications
- Lower audit preparation time
- Improved transparency for stakeholders and regulators

Your Questions, Answered.
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 fuels your analytics and digital initiatives by providing reliable, high-quality OT data. Many analytics and digital transformation projects fail due to poor data quality or inaccessible data sources. MDB solves this by:
- Unifying disparate data sources: MDB seamlessly integrates with various OT systems, regardless of their communication protocols, overcoming common data access barriers.
- Ensuring data security: MDB handles secure network traversal and firewall access, ensuring your data remains protected.
- Preserving data context: MDB enriches raw data with essential context, making it immediately useful for analysis and decision-making. This context-rich data is crucial for accurate insights and effective AI/ML model training.
- Streamlining data delivery: MDB’s MQTT publisher enables effortless data streaming to any cloud or IIoT platform. We offer deployment guides for popular platforms like AWS IoT SiteWise and Azure IoT for simplified integration.
- Optimizing data for specific applications: MDB uses OPC UA modeling to automatically provide a unified and context-rich dataset, ensuring your analytics tools receive data perfectly formatted for their needs.
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.
Matrikon is committed to evolving MDB in line with industry trends. MDB already runs on-prem and in cloud containers, and Matrikon is actively adding features requested by enterprises. For example, REST APIs for easier integration, integrated Azure AD/LDAP security, and enhanced role management. MDB is and will become more convenient, secure, and compliant over time, protecting your investment.
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.
