Universal ingestion
Real-time collection from OT protocols, IT infrastructure and high-performance acquisition hardware.
OT / IT convergence
Your machines speak a thousand languages. UDS Atom makes them talk to your information system.
Edge software that collects production data, cleans it, secures it and delivers it in the right format. Configured from a browser, without writing a single line of code.
100% web-based setupNo client software to installDesigned for the Cyber Resilience Act
The problem we solve
Production data stays locked on the shop floor.
In industry, OT data lives in heterogeneous PLCs, behind incompatible protocols or on aging systems. IT cannot use it, and new European regulations turn this fragmentation into a cybersecurity risk.
UDS Atom acts as a universal gateway. It extracts the data, cleans it, secures it and delivers it in the right format. No more heavy custom development.
- Before
- A custom development for each machine, a PC on top of the PLC, SCADA, MES and ERP silos that do not talk to each other.
- With UDS Atom
- A single agent, configured in the browser. Sources are scanned, protocols mapped, data distributed.
Key features
From source to enterprise system, in four blocks.
Local processing, no code
The rules engine runs deterministic logic at the source: normalization (timestamps, tagging) and triggers. To go further, an SDK lets you add your own calculations as LabVIEW PPL plugins.
Contextualized distribution
Data flows to enterprise systems over MQTT SparkPlug B, with Report by Exception to save bandwidth, or straight into your databases and clouds.
Security by Design, built for the CRA
Role-based access (RBAC) with JWT tokens, TLS 1.3 encrypted communications, a SBOM CycloneDX component inventory and cryptographically signed plugins.
Embedded web interfaceConfiguration and monitoring from a standard browser.
No client softwareNothing to install on operator workstations.
High availabilityCluster architecture for uninterrupted data flows.
Mobile supervisionDashboards available on tablets, on the shop floor.
Deployment environments
Installs where your infrastructure already is.
From the hardened controller on the shop floor to the Edge server in the technical room, the same platform.
NI CompactRIO running Linux RT
Deterministic execution for harsh industrial environments and critical control.
- Compatible with DAQmx and CompactDAQ
- Local decisions, as close to the process as possible
- Migration from legacy controllers without rewriting the software
Industrial PCs, servers and gateways
Full deployment on Windows or Linux, to centralize a workshop's data or run demanding algorithms.
- Windows industrial PCs
- Linux Edge servers and gateways
- AI and local databases

A mixed fleet of CompactRIOs and Siemens IPCs is brought under a single middleware. Modbus (pH, temperature), physical I/O and DALI lighting gateways are logged for traceability of every batch. An on-call module routes alarms outside working hours. Before UDS Atom, staff came on site on weekends to supervise.

UDS Atom collects propulsion and HVAC data, coordinates sending it to the customer's cloud and retains data during satellite link outages. On reconnection, it handles a dual upstream flow. Result: real-time access to priority data, no loss, and maintenance prepared before breakdowns occur mid-voyage.
