SDEX Suite is an industrial OPC UA and MQTT data aggregation platform that securely aggregates and distributes PLC and CNC data to IT systems. This OT/IT data aggregation middleware enables scalable industrial data connectivity across Windows, Docker, and gateway deployments.

Faster Integration and Deployment

• Plug-and-play connectivity to PLC and CNC controllers from leading manufacturers
• Preconfigured OPC UA and MQTT communication paths
• Minimal engineering effort — no PLC program changes
• Short time-to-market for IIoT and analytics projects

Integrated Industrial Cybersecurity

• Secure IT/OT separation via middleware architecture
• Reduced risk of unauthorized access, cyber threats, and production downtime
• End-to-end protection with TLS/SSL encryption, authentication, and role-based access control (RBAC)
• Advanced security mechanisms include whitelisting, blacklisting, DoS prevention, and IEC 62443-aligned

Flexible Deployment across IT and OT Environments

• Consistent operation across Windows, Docker, and industrial gateway environments
• Deployment flexibility to match existing IT and OT infrastructures
• Simplified maintenance and upgrade processes through unified versioning and licensing
• Scalable implementation from single machines to global, multi-site architectures

Unified and Scalable Data Access

• Vendor-independent data access across heterogeneous PLC and CNC environments
• Consistent data structures through standardized OPC UA information models (PADIM, Weihenstephan)
• Simplified integration into IT, SCADA, MES, ERP, and cloud systems via Unified Namespace (UNS) architectures
• Improved data availability and analytic consistency for reliable reporting, optimization, and advanced analytics

Optional Hardware Gateway for Maximum Network Segmentation and Operational Security

• Enhanced network protection through physical separation of OT and IT interfaces
• Secure edge deployment close to machines or inside control cabinets without dependency on existing PCs or servers
• Reliable continuous operation in harsh industrial environments through robust, industrial-grade hardware
• Reduced commissioning effort and operational risk through a dedicated, preconfigured SDEX Suite runtime

SDEX Suite Gateway Solution

The SDEX Suite Gateway Solution is based on hardware with two separate Ethernet ports to provide isolation between the OT environment (ETH2 port below) and the IT environment (ETH1 port above)

The following two options are available:

• Gateway Package P1: up to a maximum of 5 connections between PLCs/CNCs/OPC/MQTT, with the option to define 1 custom address space to expose all variables as an OPC UA server or via MQTT;
• Gateway Package P2: up to a maximum of 20 connections between PLCs, CNCs, OPC and MQTT, with the option to define 4 custom address spaces to expose all variables as an OPC UA server or via MQTT;

NOTE: For any non-Gateway license, you must purchase at least one one-year upgrade license, which guarantees updates for one year.
