inray wanted to provide its customers (well-known production companies in the manufacturing and process industry) with optimal software for solving their optimization needs, in a way that customers themselves can independently support and expand the implemented application. Using the OPC Router that it built, inray provides an easy way to connect InfluxDB with almost any industrial and commercial system. OPC Router collects time series data — using the OPC protocol — from PLCs, sensors, and controllers and stores this data into InfluxDB.

OPC Router is able to interface with commercial systems like ERPs, MES, and cloud systems to help automatically link data together in a meaningful way for inray’s customers. The data collected through OPC Router can be used for data transfer, analysis, reports, and executing powerful workflows to increase efficiency and quality while lowering production costs. For its Industry 4.0 clients, and via standard interfaces, inray connects existing systems without programming effort and guarantees continuous, immediate availability of data and evaluations.
