Data Connectivity & Transport

OAS by SeQent gives you a single way to connect controllers, devices, databases, and applications and move data between them, regardless of vendor or generation, so your data reaches the system that needs it in an open format you already own.

Connectivity Without a Standardization Project First

Most plants run four generations of equipment from three vendors. Connect what is already installed instead of replacing it.

Native Device Drivers

Allen-Bradley, Siemens, and Modbus connect natively, with no third-party drivers to buy or maintain. OPC DA and OPC UA run in the same product, so twenty-year-old equipment stays in scope.

Universal Data Connector

Move data from anywhere to anywhere: Allen-Bradley to Siemens, PLC to database, database to application, plant to cloud. Built for open protocols, edge compute, and a Unified Namespace spanning OT and IT, with no lock-in to a single vendor's stack.

Built for Scale

Each server processes up to 1,000,000 data points, supports up to 10,000 clients, and transfers with 100 nanosecond resolution. Client connections are unlimited at no extra charge.
How It Works

How Does SeQent Connect and Transport Industrial Data?

The Universal Data Connector is the server-based connectivity layer at the core of OAS by SeQent. It reaches the equipment you run today, transforms data in flight, and delivers it to the systems that need it

Workers reviewing dataConnect dataData Connectivity

A single library of Industry 4.0 connectors covers the plant floor as it actually exists, from legacy controllers to modern brokers. Anything unsupported can be built rather than blocked.

  • Native Allen-Bradley, Siemens, and Modbus drivers with no third-party purchase
  • OPC Classic (DA) and OPC UA supported in the same product
  • MQTT, MTConnect, databases, Excel, and REST or .NET applications as sources
  • Universal Driver Interface SDK for custom protocol drivers
