Digital Transform are excited to share the news of a significant advancement in IoT connectivity: the successful integration of the SIA gateway with Tulip Interfaces, Microsoft’s official manufacturing software partner.
Tulip Interfaces, renowned for their innovative low-code, scalable cloud-based platform, have garnered a fantastic reputation worldwide for their openness to interfacing with a wide variety of software and hardware. The SIA gateway enhances this experience even further, ushering in a new era of connectivity, ease of use, and data possibilities for Tulip’s large community of users, integrators, resellers, and citizen developers worldwide.
SIA, meanwhile are part of the Trifork group and have a lot of experience in supplying an innovative edge gateway that is used in IoT, smart buildings and countless other applications worldwide.
Our experience with Tulip and our expertise in SIA, covering use cases from PLCs and robots to smart devices, positions us to make a substantial contribution to the Tulip Toolbox. We believe this solution opens up endless possibilities for Tulip’s ecosystem.
Key features of SIA functionality include:
– A vast library of installable drivers, allowing seamless connection to popular PLC brands such as Allen Bradley, Siemens, Beckhoff and Omron, MQTT, generic OPC UA streams, and more.
– OpenAPI for effortless data forwarding to Tulip, Azure, AWS, and other platforms, even simultaneously from a single SIA unit if necessary.
– OPC UA Server capability, allowing the SIA to act as an OPC UA Server for data accessibility within your own network, on your terms.
– Elimination of the need for local software installations to support data collection and transmission, as data can be sent straight from your SIA to the cloud.
– Bidirectional Communication, allowing the sending of commands or data to hardware.
– Configuration via an intuitive GUI interface, eliminating the need for coding during setup and maintenance.
– Export/import functionality for easy reuse of configurations across multiple SIA devices.
– Free online how-to guides for quick setup and operation at https://help.sia-connect.com/.
Described by one extremely satisfied user as “Kepware in a box,” the SIA product is available as a self-contained hardware unit with the groundbreaking SIA GUI Interface for local factory floor connections, or as Docker software with per-tag licensing for your own gateway or central installations.
Given our closeness, both in terms of technology and geography (we’re a mere 50km apart in Denmark), Digital Transform and SIA plan to work extensively together on new features that enhance the Tulip experience still further in the future and can also provide consultancy services if you require a deeper dive.
