Your Bridge to Azure IoT Hub

It doesn’t matter what the data source is – with Open Automation Software you can move it to Azure IoT Data Hub and Azure Event Hubs.

With OAS, integrating with Azure IoT Hub and Azure Event Hub IoT is seamless, ensuring secure, accurate, and fast data transfer. Timestamp verification via the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) keeps your data intact. Use live local, remote, or plant floor data to power big data analytics in Azure IoT Hub.

Send live data directly to Azure IoT devices with the built-in AMQP protocol driver.

Maximize the potential of Azure's big data and IoT services.

Efficient Remote Device Communication with AMQP

The OAS Azure IoT Hub gateway uses AMQP, a lightweight protocol designed for resource-limited devices. It enables low-bandwidth, reliable data transfer, even with intermittent connections, and supports bidirectional communication.

Event Based Publishing with Store and Forward

Publish data to Azure IoT devices based on event, continuously, or data change. Include timestamp and data quality from originating source. Enable Store and Forward option to buffer data during service interruptions.

Live Data In Azure Services

Publish data to Azure IoT Hub and Azure Event Hubs in a JSON payload containing multiple values, qualities, and timestamps with 100 nanosecond resolution. Take full advantage of any or all of the other services provided by Azure.

JSON Handling

OAS effortlessly parses and constructs JSON packets with your chosen data—all without requiring any coding.

Data Accuracy & Reliablity

Data from each data source is processed on-premise in a first-in, first-out (FIFO) manner. This ensures that all data received from the broker is preserved and not just the latest value.

Easy Azure IoT Hub Integration & Data Publishing

The OAS Azure IoT Connector simplifies publishing to Azure IoT Hub and AMQP Azure Event Hub using structured JSON with values, timestamps, and quality indicators.

The AMQP interface enables direct publishing to Azure IoT devices, supporting event-driven, continuous, and change-based data transmission.

Store and Forward

Store and Forward ensures uninterrupted data flow during service interruptions, leveraging AMQP Azure Event Hub for seamless connectivity.

Optionally enable the Store and Forward property in the Azure IoT driver interface to buffer data to disk in the event of communication loss to the Azure server. This maintains 100% data in case of network failure.
