Abstract
An industrial device data access adapter allows migration of operational technology (OT) data to a cloud platform to be executed and managed using the same cloud infrastructure used to manage migration of information technology (IT) data. The adapter is designed to be installed and executed as a containerized module on an IoT edge system or device. The adapter interfaces with industrial devices to collect data using native OT data format and communication protocols, and leverages the existing software framework of the IoT edge system—including data broker services and module management services—to move this data to a cloud platform. Since the adapter is designed to interface with the native framework of the IoT edge system on which the adapter executes, the adapter can be managed using through the existing IoT infrastructure of the cloud provider.
