Single point of access icon
Single Point of Access
Having all your data behind a single point of access enables tighter firewall rules and better network control, simplifying your system architecture and significantly improving security. Once configured, Forge is your unified secure gateway for IT/OT and OT/OT integration.
Information modeling icon
Model & Harmonize
Browse the underlying address spaces of all connected servers and select the data you want to harmonize and publish. Easy-to-use operations such as rename, scale, and offset assist you in achieving your goals. Modeling tools enable mapping and organizing underlying data into information models based on industry standards.

Connectors

Connectors enable native communication between Forge and industrial devices such as PLCs and RTUs, using selected widely adopted protocols. These include Modbus, Ethernet/IP (commonly used with Rockwell and Omron devices), ADS (for Beckhoff devices), and S7 (for Siemens S7 PLCs)

Free & Useful

The Forge Grafana Plugin brings OT data from Prosys OPC UA Forge into IT dashboards via he popular open-source dashboarding platform Grafana. It enables you to visualize both real-time and historical OT data directly. If your original data source lacks historical data, you can easily configure Forge to store it, allowing you to fully leverage the capabilities of the Plugin.
