The problem

You can see every system. You still can't see the operation.

Operational information is fragmented across controllers, SCADA systems, sensors, historians, applications, vendors, and operating companies.

Organizations can see individual systems but struggle to establish a consistent view of assets, performance, and operating conditions across the enterprise. Every site answers in its own units, on its own screen, in its own reporting format.

Growth compounds it. Each facility or business brings its own equipment, data structures, reporting practices, and technology investments. Without a shared operating data architecture, adding sites can increase integration work as fast as it increases scale.

The NX insight

Enterprise intelligence begins with industrial context.

A measurement becomes useful when you know which asset produced it, what process it belongs to, how it relates to other systems, and what operating conditions apply. NX organizes operational information so that operators, enterprise applications, and AI all work from a common understanding of the physical infrastructure.

Starts with
Physical infrastructure
Equipment, PLCs, sensors, SCADA, gateways and existing local controls — unchanged and still in charge.
NX provides
The cloud intelligence layer
Connects those systems and gives their information structure, relationships and operating context.
Delivers to
Enterprise applications and AI
Operators, management, service providers, analytics and enterprise systems working from one record.
01 · Connect

Bring the data in

Pull operational data from existing equipment and systems into a common cloud environment, using the protocols your plant already speaks.

02 · Contextualize

Give it meaning

Organize that data around assets, processes, relationships, operating states, alarms and history — so a number carries what it belongs to.

03 · Understand

Read the operation

Dashboards, reporting and analytics interpret performance across sites, with AI capabilities introduced as they become available.

04 · Act

Do something about it

Support decisions and run authorized workflows, notifications and supervisory actions — within the operating authority each deployment defines.

Industrial Cloud Bridge

Extend what you own. Don't replace it.

The Industrial Cloud Bridge connects installed SCADA, PLC and historian environments to a contextualized, cloud-native data layer — without replacing the control system. You keep the equipment, the qualification and the operator training you have already paid for.

“How do I securely make my industrial data available to cloud applications, enterprise systems, analytics and AI — without replacing my existing control infrastructure?”

That question is what the Bridge exists to answer. It is the secure industrial data infrastructure between the operational technology you already run and the modern cloud and AI environments you want to reach.

  • Outbound-only connectivityThe site opens a connection out. Nothing opens a port in — no inbound firewall rule, no port forward, no listening service exposed on the control network.
  • Overlaid on existing infrastructureA secure tunnel is layered over the equipment already installed, making insecure field communications secure without re-engineering or replacing field hardware.
  • Redundant paths, simultaneouslyA site can carry more than one WAN path at once — satellite and cellular together — so connectivity survives the loss of either.
  • Provisioned, not engineeredConnect the edge router and provision it. Secure tunnels come up without a custom networking engagement per site — the design objective that makes fleet-scale rollout practical.
  • Secure by design, and documentedSecurity is built into the architecture and documented for utility and municipal security review, so operational data reaches the cloud without weakening the control environment.
  • Your data stays yoursStructured, exportable and modeled in an open way — not locked behind a proprietary historian you cannot query.

The platform

Start with one connection. Expand on the same architecture.

The Bridge is the landing point. Everything after it builds on the same data foundation, so operations grow across sites, systems and business units without a new platform for each one.

Capability availability is confirmed per deployment. Industrial cyber intelligence and automated operations are future directions on this same architecture.

Operate your infrastructure as one connected enterprise.

NX brings operational information together across assets, facilities, regions and operating companies. Enterprises can establish common data definitions, reporting and workflows while continuing to run the equipment and control systems already installed — keeping the detail local operators need, and adding the consistency the enterprise needs.

In the field

Deployments that explain the architecture better than a diagram.

Stanford University
Campus utilities · California

Routers configured to run Starlink and a cellular modem at the same time rather than failing over between them — security and path redundancy from one configuration.

Caltrans
Transportation infrastructure · California

An enterprise deployment across distributed transportation infrastructure — the same architecture applied well outside water and wastewater.

Jackson Hole
Mountain resort utilities · Wyoming

A PLC at the base of the mountain linked to a PLC at the summit, controlling water pumping to the summit restaurant and publishing operational data back to the platform.

Digital infrastructure

Physical systems that run on connected operational data.

Water and wastewater is the established foundation. The architecture spans the connected infrastructure categories around it.

Water & wastewater

Districts, municipal systems, mutual water companies and treatment operations — from single-plant systems to multi-site portfolios. The deepest body of deployment experience behind the platform.

Energy & power

Generation, distribution and backup systems where operating condition and availability are measured continuously and reported upward.

Transportation infrastructure

Distributed roadside, pumping and environmental systems operated across a region by agencies with more assets than field staff.

Buildings & facilities

Campuses, resorts, districts and private infrastructure running their own utilities — water, wastewater, stormwater, cooling, pumping — without a utility's engineering department.

Multi-site industrial

Operators with more facilities than people to visit them, where the question is not whether a site is instrumented but whether anyone can see all of them at once.

Partners & integrators

NX builds the platform. Partners multiply the distribution.

Systems integrators, O&M providers, engineering firms, OEMs and infrastructure developers sell, deploy and support NX. Partner economics are designed into the model rather than bolted on — reuse connectivity, dashboards, reporting and workflows across projects instead of rebuilding them per customer.

For Opto 22 deployments specifically, NX serves as the cloud and enterprise layer — extending connected edge systems into multi-site operations, contextualized asset information and recurring software services partners can deliver across their base.

  • Margin on what you already sellA software line alongside the panel build, on systems you specify, install and service today.
  • Recurring revenue, not just install revenueSubscription income that continues after commissioning, on an offer designed to be sold and deployed repeatedly.
  • Enablement, so you can deliver itYour team sells and deploys the Bridge directly — the architecture is built so delivery does not escalate to us for every site.
  • Reusable across your installed baseTemplate a well site or lift station once, then deploy it to every customer who has one. The work compounds instead of resetting.

Turn infrastructure into enterprise intelligence.

The most useful first conversation is the shortest one: tell us what systems are installed and what you currently cannot see across them. We will tell you what it would take to connect it.
