UpBlue

Protocol Converter: From OT to IT

Connect different industrial protocols such as OPC UA, Modbus RTU/TCP, MQTT, Siemens S7 and more without custom development. Easily connect old and new machines, IT and OT systems, and streamline data communication within your factory or installation.

Live protocol conversion

One platform

Modern factories use machines from different suppliers, each with their own communication protocol. The UpBlue platform converts all these different "languages" into one uniform data stream that is directly usable for business intelligence, dashboards and integrations.

  • Universal connectivity

    Supports all common industrial protocols: Modbus TCP/RTU, OPC-UA, Siemens S7 and more.
  • Real-time data transformation

    Convert raw sensor data into usable data such as true/false, counters, timers or filtered values based on rules. Apply deduplication for data cleaning.
  • Configuration via web interface

    No scripts or code: manage and configure everything via a secure, browser-based environment with logging, monitoring and validation.
  • Real-time and event-based data flow

    Supports both polling and push models. Send only what changes or define custom triggers for efficient communication.

Advanced data transformations

Transform machine and sensor data into usable business information with our no-code transformation engine.

Data mapping

Map raw PLC registers to meaningful names and units. From "DB1.DBW10" to "Production_counter_Line_A".

Calculations & formulas

Perform real-time calculations: OEE, energy consumption per piece, efficiency percentages and custom KPIs.

Data validation & filtering

Filter polluted data and prevent incorrect values from reaching your systems.

No-code Management Environment

Configure and manage all protocol conversions via an intuitive web interface. No programming knowledge required - everything via drag-and-drop and visual configuration. Configure new mappings, monitor data streams and manage user access - all via our cloud-based Management Environment.

The Management Environment runs entirely in the cloud, allowing you to manage, monitor and adjust your data configurations from any location.

Integration with Unified Namespace

The Protocol Converter integrates with the Unified Namespace (UNS). All converted data can be automatically published to the UNS, giving other systems and applications direct access to the data.

This eliminates point-to-point connections and creates a scalable data architecture where new systems can be easily added without complex integrations.

Local data stays local

The UpBlue Collector functions as an intelligent edge gateway that performs protocol conversion locally. This allows you to apply data preprocessing, filtering and buffering before data is optionally sent to the cloud. Data only leaves your factory when you want it for dashboarding and analysis in the UpBlue cloud.

This hybrid approach ensures maximum security: critical production data stays local, while you still have the benefits of cloud-based analytics and dashboards.

Connect with 5,000+ industrial devices and software

UpBlue integrates with many industrial protocols and devices such as Siemens, IFM, Schneider and much more.

Our platform is modularly built and grows with you, with regular extensions of new protocols - ask about the possibilities for your specific needs.
