OPC Router: 3 Reasons to Choose the New Packages

How OPC Router Helps with Automation

Collect data, connect systems, perform calculations, make comparisons, and automatically write the results into databases. OPC Router enables communication with PLC systems, OPC servers, printers, RFID readers, email, Excel sheets, databases, cloud services, and MQTT brokers. All of this is controlled via a simple drag & drop interface.

Don't Miss the New Subscription License Packages

We used to recommend buying the Basic Module and selecting the necessary plug-ins. That is still fine if you are a small company or preparing a pilot project. But for medium-sized or large manufacturing companies, we now offer a more advantageous option - subscription packages that include the Basic Module, plug-ins, and add-ons in one license.
The OPC Router Standard package includes the 30 most commonly used plug-ins. We also offer the robust OPC Router Enterprise subscription package for large-scale projects in big companies and concerns. OPC Router Enterprise includes all plug-ins and add-ons.


3 Reasons to Choose OPC Router Standard Package:

1. Cost-effective solution

You get the Basic Module + access to the top 30 plug-ins at just a seventh of the price. The Standard package includes plug-ins for databases, printers, email, Excel, MQTT brokers, cloud, and other systems. The complete plug-in list is available in the product description.
OPC Router Standard is ideal if you need more than 3 plug-ins.

2. Flexibility and future-readiness

Today you connect a PLC and a database. In two months, you might want REST API or MQTT – and it is already included, no extra purchase required. No delays from approval processes for new plug-in purchases.

3. Unified license = full overview

Everything is under a single license:
  • Easier management
  • Easier renewals
  • Simplified audits

OPC Router Enterprise - All in One!

The same three benefits apply to the Enterprise package, which includes:
  • All existing communication interfaces (plug-ins)
  • All extensions (add-ons)
Best suited for cases where redundancy, high data availability, continuous operation, and broad system integration (ERP systems like SAP R/3 and SAP HANA) are crucial. The core of OPC Router Enterprise also supports mathematical and logical functions. With a single subscription license, you get the full capabilities of OPC Router as a data connector – ideal for demanding industrial environments, and all at a very attractive price.


How OPC Router Is Used in Practice

Learn how one of our customers uses OPC Router in our case study from Van Leeuwen in Dobříš: Using OPC Router Basic Module and two plug-ins (OPC UA Client and SQL Server DB), Van Leeuwen sends production data to its MS SQL Express database. Some of the data is further enriched with calculations or timestamps using OPC Router’s mathematical and logical functions.
Take a look at three simple use case scenarios showing the benefits and features of OPC Router combined with KEPServerEX.
