🔸 WHAT IS CB DIGITAL FACTORY?
CB Digital Factory is the one-stop-shop for all your industrial transformation challenges.
CB Digital Factory does much more than collect machine and sensor data and dump it on a data lake – where it sits collecting dust.
We make sure that data works for you and integrate it directly into any software you use – where decisions are made in real-time.
The best part is that CB Digital Factory empowers you and your team to tackle these integration projects yourselves. All you need to know are basic SQL commands, and CB Digital Factory will make you an integration hero.

🔸 HOW DOES IT WORK?
CB Digital Factory collects data from the shop floor and displays it in any software you want in a secure way.
Data that is in the controller or field device’s native communication protocol is first converted into the vendor-independent OPC UA format.
CB Digital Factory, built on Connect Bridge, our state-of-the-art integration platform, then interprets and translates OPC UA so you can get the data into your applications. Yes, this means OPC data access from other applications or databases.
Moreover, CB Digital Factory also allows you to write into a controller, effectively enabling M2M communication.
