Read DB Data into OAS Tags
You can bring values from your databases into live OAS Tags at any rate from once per second to scheduled times or triggered events. It's simple to link tag data to a database record or view using flexible query filters.

Wide DB Support
Connect to SQL Server, Oracle, Access, SQL Azure, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, MongoDB, MariaDB, SQLite, MySQL, Amazon Aurora, Amazon RDS, and Google Firebase. The OAS database connectors ensure your data gets to PLCs and DCS systems with full confirmation that everything was transferred successfully.
Integrate Data with Other Sources
With support for Modbus, OPC UA, OPC DA, MQTT, Sparkplug B, and cloud servers like Azure IoT, AWS IoT Core, and Kafka, you can share data across all systems using the same platform. The OPC database connector, IIoT database connector, and Siemens database connector are all built in.
Customizable Import Behavior
You choose how and when data transfers happen. It can be continuous, triggered by an event, or run at specific times. You can even control it with other tag values or calculations.
Industry 4.0 Targets
You can send data to various destinations including Modbus, Allen Bradley PLCs, Siemens S7 Controllers, OPC UA, OPC DA, MQTT, Sparkplug B, MTConnect, AWS IoT Core, Kafka, .NET, REST Clients, and other Databases.
Controller Handshaking
Each transaction can be initiated using data from a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), and full confirmation feedback will be provided to verify the values being set.
Database Tags for Visualization
Use database tags to monitor live data from your database. You can set up visualization, alarms, trending, and calculations. You can also write back to your database when using the OAS Data Historian.
Dynamic Queries
The comprehensive calculation engine integrates diverse data sources to determine which records should be processed.
Edge Computing
OAS is an on-premise edge solution that employs first-in, first-out (FIFO) processing, guaranteeing complete delivery for each record that is processed before confirmation is sent.
Networking
Data transfer can be extended to remote databases and OAS Engines for peer-to-peer data exchange. The database connector makes this kind of distributed setup easy to manage.

Common Use Cases
Batch Sequencing
Pull setpoints and limits from a database for each step in a batch process. The controller lets OAS know when it's ready for the next step, and OAS grabs the right record, sends it over, and confirms the values match.
Order Processing
Use controller values to filter your database and grab data for specific order numbers or batches. You can generate a WHERE filter dynamically using calculation tags, which helps automate the process.
Database User Interface
Create Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) for data from a database using the cross-platform UIEngine without any coding required. Together with the Data Historian product values can also be updated in the database. The UIEngine features an extensive library of components that allow for drag-and-drop design, along with integrated support for Web Trend and Web Alarm products.

OAS Platform Features
Cross-Platform Support
The OAS Platform supports multiple operating systems and deployment options including Windows, Linux, Docker Containers, and can even run on low footprint devices such as a Raspberry PI 4.
Networking
OAS is an edge solution that offers flexible networking options for standalone installations, multi-tenant data aggregation, and even secure unidirectional data transport.
Programmatic Setup
Utilize our .NET SDK or REST API for flexible and automated setup, ensuring full integration with your asset management software. You can also import and export CSV files, which helps you work with Excel and third-party applications.
Calculations, Time On, Counts, and Totals
Merge data from various controllers and additional data sources while performing real-time computations and logic processing, all without the need for coding. Monitor the duration of activities for specific points and the frequency of their transitions over a defined period. Aggregate analog values both daily and over the entire timeline.
