Streamline Industry 4.0 edge deployments with inray and Portainer.

Accelerate digital transformation in industrial environments with zero-touch deployment and centralized management of OPC Router via Portainer.

inray and Portainer joint solution
Why OPC Router

Industrial data integration, made simple, secure and scalable.

With its visual, no-code interface and broad protocol support, OPC Router connects machines, PLCs, databases, ERP systems and cloud services without custom development.

Seamless connectivity across systems

Reliable data exchange between production equipment, databases, MES and ERP systems such as SAP, and modern cloud platforms.

No-code configuration

Data workflows are built with a drag-and-drop interface, so integration does not require scripting.

Broad protocol support

OPC UA and DA, MQTT, REST, SQL and SAP, which covers most of what is already in an industrial stack.

Real-time data exchange

Machine and process data is accessed and transferred in real time rather than batched.

Built for security and scale

Deploys at the edge or on premises with encrypted communication and distributed architectures.

Flexible integration use cases

From M2M communication and cloud integration through to data logging and event-driven automation.

manubes and Portainer

Unlock smart manufacturing at the edge.

manubes, inray's cloud platform, gives manufacturers the power to visualize real-time production data and automate workflows, maximizing efficiency across the shop floor. By deploying local edge nodes, manufacturers securely enable two-way data exchange between a wide range of production systems and the manubes cloud environment; with Portainer, deploying and managing those edge nodes becomes fast, consistent and scalable across every site and device.

Centralized production monitoring

Real-time visibility into machines, processes and production KPIs from anywhere in the world.

Smart workflow automation

Actions, alerts and processes trigger automatically based on live production data.

Standards-based integration

Support for common industrial protocols and interfaces rather than proprietary connectors.

Global web access

Secure, mobile-friendly access through any web browser, with no software install required.

Secure, managed SaaS

Built on hardened, cloud-native infrastructure, so the customer focuses on operations rather than maintenance.

Managed edge nodes

The local nodes that bridge production systems to manubes are deployed and updated through Portainer as a fleet.

How it fits together

Unifying edge, data and containers.

01

Application data

OPC Router transfers machine and production data to InfluxDB over OPC UA, where it is stored and displayed.

02

Device configuration

Portainer handles secure-by-default deployment and configuration of devices, including importing configurations, so OT experts are not configuring each node by hand.

03

Application templates

Templates let OT experts deploy applications directly, so OPC Router and InfluxDB roll out in seconds rather than through a manual build.
