What is Open Automation Software?

• A suite of Industrial Automation and Operations

Management Software that allows businesses
to create their own Industrial Internet of
Things
• Moves data from anywhere to anywhere in a
non-proprietary format
• Host your own live data over the internet or
on premises
• A versatile toolkit for creating cross-platform
HMI & SCADA applications to visualize and
analyze data
• Ideal for integrating systems and
standardizing data across the organization

3
 What can
you
do with
OAS?
1. Connect to almost any industrial data
source
2. Process and log data live at source with
full store and forward
3. Host live data with any Windows PC over
the internet or on-premises
4. Data transport & Security - uses a
lightweight protocol with compressed,
securely encrypted data packets.
5. Visualize, analyze and deploy data within
your organization to your existing platform
of choice - Web, Windows, Smartphones,
databases, and a variety of file formats.

 Benefits of Service Oriented
Architecture
• OAS runs as a central ‘service’,
processing and delivering data
to consumers in a form that is
optimized to the consumer’s
needs
• OAS is designed from the
ground up using open
standards and architectures
• Offers major advantages over
proprietary formats and legacy
systems
• Network setup is seamless
• Distributed Network
Architecture ensures best data
accuracy Service Oriented Architecture
promotes scalable networked systems
with maximum interoperability
5
 Typical Cloud IoT Solution

• Data accuracy cannot be

guaranteed
• There is often data loss on
network failure
• Speed of data access is
impaired by push then pull
• Pay per data usage can
be expensive
• Limited protocols to
interface

6
 OAS – Distributed Network Architecture

• Data accuracy is best with

processing on premise
• Data is retained on
network failure
• Networking is simplified
• Processing is distributed
• Infinite scalability
