Data Connectivity Learn about the tools and services in UMH’s Data Connectivity for integrating
shop floor systems.
The Data Connectivity module in the United Manufacturing Hub is designed to enable
seamless integration of various data sources from the manufacturing environment
into the Unified Namespace. Key components include:
Node-RED :
A versatile programming tool that links hardware devices, APIs, and online services.barcodereader :
Connects to USB barcode readers, pushing data to the message broker.benthos-umh: A specialized version of benthos featuring an OPC UA plugin for
efficient data extraction. sensorconnect :
Integrates with IO-Link Masters and their sensors, relaying data to the message broker.These tools collectively facilitate the extraction and contextualization of data
from diverse sources, adhering to the ISA-95 automation pyramid model, and
enhancing the Management Console’s capability to monitor and manage data flow
within the UMH ecosystem.
