Your Systems, Data, and Teams Work Better Together
Connectivity isn’t just a technical problem — it’s a strategic unlock.
Matrikon Data Broker (MDB) translates every device and protocol into a common, secure language. Data from modern and legacy systems, across all sites and teams, is unified into a single OT data layer — accessible to IT, OT, cloud analytics, and executive dashboards alike.
Future-Proof Your Integration Layer
Before: Too Many Variables, Not Enough Insight
Most plants rely on a mix of legacy and modern OT data sources that don’t talk to each other, creating silos, delays, and costly workarounds.
After: One Powerful, Strategic Data Layer
With a scalable, open standards-based architecture, plug-and-play adaptors, and future-ready compatibility, Matrikon Data Broker syncs systems, teams, and strategy to empower aligned progress.
The Common Thread That Makes It All Possible
OT data may be the lifeblood of the organization, but secure connectivity is what circulates it to where it’s needed. Matrikon Data Broker brings disparate 3rd-party systems into a secure, common language foundation, facilitating IT and OT collaboration, aligned direction, and strategic growth.
The Whole > The Sum of Its Parts
MDB unites every OT asset to form one intelligent unified data layer poised for long-term growth. Here’s how:
Connect Any Protocol
Bridge At The Source
Matrikon Data Broker gives you full control with an open, modular architecture that adapts as you do. Connect what you have today, evolve how you want tomorrow, without being boxed in by proprietary formats, closed ecosystems, or rigid integration models. Whether you’re streamlining operations or scaling globally, MDB keeps you agile, aligned, and in charge.
Stay Current. Stay Compatible.
Legacy OT data sources do not need to hold back modern initiatives. Matrikon Data Broker enables continuous extension (for example, the upcoming REST support and Python-powered MQTT payloads (2025), SparkplugB (2026–27), and a developer API for custom adapters) to ensure your integration strategy advances in lock-step with technical innovation. Wherever the future takes you, your MDB platform-based unified OT data layer (UODL) will be ready for the job.
No Delays. No Roadblocks.
Matrikon Data Broker streamlines connection and onboarding by removing custom coding, protocol incompatibilities, and fragile workarounds that typically stall progress. Whether you’re launching dashboards, analytics tools, or cloud initiatives, MDB’s seamless and open connectivity helps teams confidently move from planning to execution faster.
Modernize Without Disruption
Matrikon Data Broker allows companies to evolve their infrastructures at their own pace. Take a phased-migration approach to modernization by enabling legacy OT data source integration with new platforms seamlessly and without replacement. MDB’s adapter-based architecture makes it easy to maintain a future-friendly strategy by integrating older equipment protocols into a common, enterprise-wide OT data layer.
Freedom to Build Your Way
Matrikon Data Broker’s open, standards-based framework works across any system and with any provider. Whether you’re adding equipment, changing platforms, or integrating third-party tools, you’re free to build what’s best for your business without rewriting code or renegotiating contracts or licenses.

How It Works: Bringing It All Together
Interoperability fuels innovation and progress. Here’s how Matrikon Data Broker brings everything together:
OPC Classic to UA Bridging
Bridges between OPC DA/HDA/A&E sources and OPC UA, bringing older systems into modern architectures.
Modular Adapters (MDBAs)
Plug-and-play modules support protocols like Modbus, Siemens S7, and Ethernet/IP — no custom development needed.
Unified OPC UA Access
All data is exposed via a single UA-based OT data layer — ensuring interoperability with SCADA, analytics, cloud, and more.
Adapter SDK/API
Create custom adapters for proprietary systems or emerging protocols using Matrikon’s development tools.
REST Adapter (Coming Soon)
Enables real-time OT data exchange and configuration with REST-based systems and cloud-native tools.
Python-Powered MQTT Payloads (Coming Soon)
Use Python scripting to transform and publish MQTT payloads for flexible cloud/edge integration.
Connectivity in Action: Manufacturing Industry Example
In industries like pulp and paper, legacy systems are commonly used throughout operations. Modernization efforts to connect old and new systems can stretch 6–9 months, delaying innovation and impacting output. Matrikon Data Broker’s modular adapter framework can help teams reduce integration timelines and reduce risk without compromising uptime.
