What is the UpBlue Collector?

The UpBlue Collector makes it possible to connect any machine, regardless of brand, age or protocol, to the cloud. This unlocks valuable operational data directly without complex integration projects or custom development. The Collector goes beyond just collecting: it structures and enriches data locally for local or external use in analyses or integrations.

  • Universal connectivity

    The Collector supports standard industrial protocols such as OPC-UA, Modbus and Siemens S7. This allows you to connect virtually any device without modifications to the machine.
  • Secure data transfer

    All data is encrypted locally and sent via a secure connection to the UpBlue cloud or external systems. This guarantees the integrity and confidentiality of your data.
  • Plug & play

    The Collector is ready for immediate deployment. After installation, the collector can be fully configured from the UpBlue Management Environment, entirely from the cloud.

Complete control from the cloud

Configure and manage every Collector completely remotely via the UpBlue platform. No local login required: all settings, updates and logging run through one central interface.

Use the no-code dashboard to select data points, manage connections, apply data transformations and set alarms. Your entire machine park managed from one place, scalable and fault-tolerant.

UpBlue Management Environment Collectors

Transform and aggregate machine data

The UpBlue Collector not only collects raw data, but transforms it directly into a usable format. Think of normalization, restructuring and tagging of data.

In addition to transmission to the UpBlue cloud, the Collector can also directly forward data to other systems via MQTT, REST APIs or other protocols. This makes integration with existing platforms and architectures simple.
