OWCD Information Collection MQTT Communication Support OT Insight Hub
One-way communication restriction device data diode "OWCD"
The use of MQTT has increased. We can achieve both intrusion prevention in OT/IoT and the utilization of field data in IT. Visualization, analysis, and AI utilization are now a reality!
Until now, data distribution from DCS/PLC and IoT to IT has often utilized CSV or binary files (via USB memory?), but recently there has been an increase in devices that support MQTT transmission specifications. However, when it comes to utilizing the cloud, many people hesitate due to concerns about virus intrusions such as ransomware, and indeed, there have been continuous incidents of such intrusions. In response, we have added MQTT communication support to the data diode OWCD, which can completely limit communication to data transmission from OT/IoT. Since it can physically restrict transmission to one direction without any software or configuration, it frees you from various security measures. The MQTT signals are intended for monitoring purposes, not control purposes. ✅ Equipment maintenance ✅ Improved operational efficiency ✅ Energy management ✅ Utilization of AI Starting from these, it can be expanded to: ✅ Centralized monitoring ✅ Production analysis While there are applications in complex areas like AI and production analysis, why not start with something simpler, such as improving the efficiency of production technology activities like production anomalies and operational stoppages, especially in a time when there is a shortage of manpower?

basic information
This is a gateway that adopts a unidirectional communication method using hardware. The core unidirectional communication limiter and the software for MQTT communication processing are utilized on a separate PC from the limiter. There are voices saying, "Isn't DMZ + firewall good enough?" However, the simplicity of "there is no physical return communication to OT" is leading to an increase in adoption. Starting with OT in factories, it will be used in a dedicated transmission configuration for communications that originally do not need to be networked with the outside world, including IoT. Data will be collected passively. Therefore, there is no need to change the control programs within the equipment that support MQTT transmission. While there may be cases where you want to collaborate with the office for information utilization, simpler security measures are preferred over complex network countermeasures where MQTT is utilized. Unlike software and configuration methods where vulnerability countermeasures become a game of whack-a-mole, more customers are experiencing the simplicity of OWCD, which prevents intrusion solely through hardware.

Applications/Examples of results
We can achieve real-time visualization of the manufacturing line. We can establish a foundation for centralizing equipment maintenance data at headquarters and making it publicly available within the company. It will help in building an AI analysis foundation for factory data. Safe visualization of PLC data will be possible. You can collect IoT information without worrying about intrusions. OWCD is already being utilized by over 160 customers. We are useful in various locations such as offices, critical infrastructure, research facilities, and security-related areas. The more you utilize the data, the more the value of "safe visualization" will resonate. Please contact us through the related links above.
