Introduction
Data is the key currency with which all businesses are operating in the current economic climate. However, data needs to be collected from various sources. Also, it is available in different formats. Such an eclectic collection of data may not be of much use for data analytics unless the data is first integrated. Data integration technologies combine data obtained from different sources such as sensors, field devices, and other IoT industrial devices and present them in a unified format. Data integration not only enhances the quality of the data obtained, but also makes data migration and data transformation more effective. This process compares different data formats, removes duplicates, cleans data based on preset conditions and transforms data to a predetermined format.
We use the following technologies in our data integration services/solutions
![OPC](https://utthunga.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/OPC-1.png.webp)
OPC
OPC or Open Platform Communications is a widely used and very popular standard that enables industrial assets and software applications to communicate with each other. Using OPC, access to the industrial assets, machines, devices and other systems in the industrial environment is standardized and enables similar and manufacturer-independent data exchange.

Industry Protocols
Industry communication protocols are the language by which the various industrial assets communicate with each other and the systems above them. Given the myriad suppliers of industrial systems, there are plethora of protocols for communications creating silos in the OT layer. We have knowledge and experience with almost all the popular industrial protocols and the ability to implement proprietary protocols as well.

Device integration
Device integration refers to the integration/connectivity of field devices to other hardware and software systems. FDT and FCG standards provide device integration technologies for standardized sensor-to-cloud and enterprise-wide integration. As the most widely adopted standards for integration of assets in process and factory automation systems, these technologies enable devices to communicate, interact, and interoperate.
Why Data Connectivity Solutions are Required for Industries?
- Allow you to capture data from different sources and in different formats
- Build a unified database that enhances the value of the data
- Data connectivity also enhances security and safety
- Ensure compliance in the production process
- Improve productivity and quality
- Allow better collaboration between teams or stakeholders
- Gain reliable data insights faster through high-quality and consistent data
- Reduce data complexity and make it accessible to all the stakeholders
- Provide the right data to the right stakeholder at the right time
- Help stakeholders make informed decisions
- Give you the edge to stay ahead of competitors
OEMs and system integrators can leverage OPC and Device Integration technologies to enable seamless data connectivity and data integration between the plant floor and the enterprise applications. A vital outcome of data connectivity and data integration is real-time access to the hidden and timely insights on the industrial processes. It is a step in the right direction towards industrial automation to identify weak links in the product process
