PLC SHIFT
DATA LOGGER
Collect Data from a PLC or sensors and automatically export to the cloud on change, interval or on demand.
DATA LOGGER is a universal PLC SHIFT application that collects valuable data from the PLC and automatically exports this data to Microsoft SQL, Azure, or MQTT on change or on interval. Our other applications produce their own valuable data, but there is usually additional data from the PLC that needs to be collected. Data Logger also provides outputs and a secure API to write values safely back into the process.
Traditionally this data was stranded or collected by SCADA systems, which prioritize data collection for operations. SCADA data is often collected at the wrong time or granularity to be useful for analytics.
