CONNECT Flows

CONNECT Flows:
Data Processing Flows, from the Edge to the Cloud

Flows is a low-code solution for creating data processing flows, capable of connecting any source to any destination. It enables you to collect, transform, and enrich operational data in real time from any type of OT, ET, or IT source across your entire industrial infrastructure.

Deploy your flows at the edge, on-premises, or in the cloud. Add advanced real-time data processing, stream analytics, and business logic capabilities to your integration and ETL processes to get data ready for use in just a few minutes.

Create your feeds in just a few minutes

Easily design your workflows using a drag-and-drop design studio that includes over 200 preconfigured modules and 800 connectors compatible with:

  • Data loggers, SCADA systems, and industrial protocols.
  • Artificial intelligence (AI) platforms, data analytics platforms, and enterprise information systems (ERP, CRM, etc.).

Add intelligence right at the source of your data

Perform real-time stream analytics, event processing, and artificial intelligence (AI) models directly within your data pipelines. Leverage and derive value from data as soon as it is generated, even before it reaches its destination.

Key Features

Connectors

Connect your OT and IT systems, enterprise applications, SaaS solutions, and cloud platforms using more than 800 connectors, including a Universal Connector compatible with all REST APIs.

Conditions, Calculations, and Business Logic

Apply advanced conditions, business rules, calculations, and processing logic to your data to automate your processes.

Transform, enrich, and organize data

Transform, harmonize, enrich, and restructure your data. Map it to a Unified Namespace (UNS) or any other data model.

Inference Using Artificial Intelligence

Run machine learning and artificial intelligence models on real-time data streams, including video and audio streams.

Real-Time Analysis of Events and Data Flows

Analyze events and data streams as they occur in real time. Process each stream independently, even when dealing with thousands of data points.

Automation and Workflows

Create closed-loop automations and intelligent workflows that can leverage data from any source.
FAQ

Answers to Your Questions

Where can the workflows be deployed?

Flows run on lightweight execution engines that can be deployed anywhere: at the edge, on-premises, or in the cloud. All execution engines are managed centrally from CONNECT.

How do I access Flows?

Flows is accessible directly from CONNECT via single sign-on (SSO). Design, deploy, and monitor all your data pipelines from the Flow Manager.
