BREADTH OF CONNECTIVITY

• Offers a library of 150+ device drivers, client drivers, and advanced plug-ins—supporting thousands of devices and other data sources

• Provides industrial operations data to: – Traditional Industrial Automation clients (via

OPC and proprietary protocols) and – New IoT solutions (via MQTT, AlwaysOn, and

IT-centric protocols)

• Meets the highest standards of quality through third-party validation

• It seamlessly integrates with the ThingWorxplatform to enable quick time to value with IIoT solutions
