Dataristix®

Connecting Factory Data

Dataristix is a suite of software modules running on-premises, on the edge, or in the cloud, connecting disparate data sources and data sinks in real-time. 

Need assistance to get you started? Interested in product news? Contact us!

Collect your MQTT or OPC UA factory data, communicate with REST services, SOAP Web services, transform data from one database to another, send data back to devices, or simply log to text files, all without coding. Choose from our selection of connector modules to transform and move data to the right place in the right format!

It’s easy to get started with Dataristix. Simply download and try out all available software modules. Mix and match software modules that you need for the most cost-effective solution. If you have any questions on the way, then please contact us. We can take you through the first steps, advise on how to best approach your envisioned solution or discuss what you need to make it work. 

Where does Dataristix fit?   Dataristix is a middleware focusing on moving data to the right place according to your own rules. No programming required. Use the Visual Task Builder and drop in logic to control the data flow or transform data before sending it off to its destination. Dataristix covers everything from simple logging to custom scripted data pipelines. Visualize data using your own tools, selecting the best tool for the job. For example, use Grafana (see example) to create dashboards based on data stored in a database by Dataristix, or configure Dataristix to generate Excel reports periodically. Dataristix works on-premises, close to the sources of data, on the edge, and in the cloud, when deployed as a containerized application. Install Dataristix on computers near the factory floor to collect production data from OPC UA or MQTT devices for business level reporting, on the top floor to pre-process data as needed, or somewhere inbetween. No Internet connection is required unless you plan to send data to databases or other services hosted in the cloud. A single Dataristix instance will happily accumulate, aggregate and transform thousands or even tens of thousands of data points, transfer data into your database of choice or hook your spreadsheets up to real-time production data. Add more instances to scale to your needs.

Convenient and Consistent One of the design goals of Dataristix is consistency and ease of use. All connector modules integrate with the core application in the same way. Where other solutions may require script or text configuration, Dataristix aims at utilizing the graphical user interface while retaining the possibility to use script in data pipelines.

Security Dataristix supports username / password authentication with token exchange by default and optionally integrates with your OAuth 2.0 provider. Restrict access to users in a number of predefined roles.

Inform, Automate, Control With Dataristix, you can finely control how data flows, from device to device or device to storage (or vice versa), using the graphical Task Builder.  You will be able to read from or write to devices using the OPC UA and MQTT connectors and create no-code or low-code tasks that, for example, retrieve recipes stored in a database for batch processing, automate report generation or drive processes. Transfer latest data directly from your production machinery to the business level for up-to-date decision making or feed factory floor data into business systems for further processing or visualisation, including Microsoft® Excel®, Power BI or your preferred OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) solution.

Cascading Dataflow

Handle individual tags or bulk data with ease! Many connectors support generic handling of inputs by accepting any input sent to the connector, thus eliminating the need to define target tags. This includes the various database connectors which optionally create or alter data storage tables on the fly. Use the visual task builder to hook up individual tags or define dataflows for groups of tags at the same time. Expand or collapse tag groups while the task is running.

First Class JSON support

Pass JSON objects through the task pipeline or decode and encode within the task dataflow as needed. Simply enter an example of your JSON object as text into the built-in decoder, then access individual properties within the task's dataflow. Optionally use the MQTT and REST connectors to decode JSON at the source and make indidiviual data points within the JSON object directly available as task inputs.

Connectors

Modules that communicate with data sources or data sinks are called “Connectors”.  Design data flows from and to connectors using the graphical Task builder. Once a task is started, data flows from input connectors, through optional processors, to output connectors. 

You need at least one connector to transfer data within the same type of data source/data sink (for example, “OPC UA Server” to “OPC UA Server” as an OPC UA data bridge), or at least two connectors to transfer data between different types of data sources/data sinks (for example, “OPC UA Server” to “ODBC database”).
