Combine IT and Process Technology

MaadView is totally cross-platform and built upon trusted open technologies like SQL, Python, OPC UA, and MQTT.

The Great Divide

For decades, there has been a silent war on the plant floor – not between people, but between technologies.

On one side, you have Process Technology (OT) – the world of PLCs, sensors, real-time control, and industrial protocols. This world demands reliability, deterministic response, and decades of uptime.

On the other side, you have Information Technology (IT) – the world of databases, cloud computing, Python scripts, REST APIs, and networked systems. This world demands flexibility, scalability, and data accessibility.

Traditionally, these two worlds don’t talk to each other well. OT people call IT “too slow and unreliable.” IT people call OT “too rigid and outdated.” The result? Data silos. Integration headaches. Wasted potential.

MaadView was built to end this divide – by combining IT and process technology into one seamless platform.

Built on Open Technologies You Already Trust

Unlike traditional SCADA systems that force you into proprietary protocols, closed databases, and vendor lock-in, MaadView embraces open, industry-standard technologies:

SQL – Your Data, Your Way

All historical data and events in MaadView are stored in standard SQL databases. This means you can query your plant data using any SQL tool, connect it to your existing reporting systems, or build custom dashboards without proprietary APIs. Your data belongs to you – not trapped in a black box.

Python – Unlimited Customization

Need to perform advanced calculations, integrate with a custom device, or automate a complex workflow? MaadView embeds Python – the world’s most popular scripting language. Write your own scripts to process signals, trigger actions, or extend functionality. No black-box limitations. No waiting for vendor updates.

OPC UA – The Industrial Standard

OPC UA is the gold standard for secure, platform-independent industrial communication. MaadView natively supports OPC UA as both client and server – connecting seamlessly to any OPC UA-enabled device, from legacy PLCs to modern IIoT gateways.

MQTT – Built for IoT and Cloud

For modern applications, MQTT lightweight messaging protocol is essential. MaadView publishes and subscribes to MQTT brokers natively, making it easy to send your plant data to cloud platforms, dashboards, or external analytics tools – all in real time.

Truly Cross-Platform

MaadView runs wherever you need it:

  • Windows – Traditional SCADA environments

  • Linux – Cost-effective servers and embedded systems

  • Docker containers – Easy deployment and scaling

  • On-premise – Keep data inside your firewall

  • Cloud – AWS, Azure, or any cloud provider

Write your configuration once. Deploy anywhere. No platform lock-in.

What This Means for You

When IT and process technology truly combine, magic happens:

# Benefit Description
1 No More Integration Nightmares Because MaadView speaks SQL, Python, OPC UA, and MQTT – it already speaks your IT department's language. Connecting to ERP systems, MES platforms, databases, and analytics tools becomes straightforward, not a multi-month consulting project.
2 Leverage Existing Skills Your team already knows SQL. They already know Python. They already understand OPC UA and MQTT. There's no need to learn a proprietary scripting language or a closed database schema. MaadView works with what you already have.
3 Future-Proof Your Investment Open technologies never go out of style. SQL has been around for decades. Python is growing faster than ever. OPC UA and MQTT are the foundation of Industry 4.0. By building on these standards, MaadView ensures your monitoring platform will not become obsolete.
4 Unlimited Extensibility Need to send an email when a signal crosses a threshold? Write a Python script. Need to log data to a second database? Use SQL triggers. Need to feed real-time data to a machine learning model? Publish via MQTT. The possibilities are endless because the platform is open.

Process Technology at Its Core

While MaadView embraces IT openness, it never forgets its OT roots:

  • Real-time signal monitoring – Milliseconds matter, and MaadView delivers

  • Event detection – High, Over High, Normal, Abnormal, and custom events

  • Unlimited history logging – From day one, forever

  • Virtual signals – Mathematical calculations on live data

  • Input Abnormal tagging – Automatic detection of oscillating or faulty signals

  • Graphical visualization – Trends, tables, pie charts, matrix views

  • Support for up to 20,000 signals – Enterprise scale without enterprise complexity

The Best of Both Worlds

You don’t have to choose between IT flexibility and OT reliability. You don’t have to sacrifice real-time performance for open standards. You don’t have to lock yourself into proprietary systems to get industrial-grade features.

MaadView gives you both.

  • From IT: SQL, Python, MQTT, cross-platform, cloud-ready, open standards

  • From OT: Real-time monitoring, unlimited tags, event detection, historical logging, SCADA visualization

Conclusion

The future of industrial monitoring is not IT vs. OT. It’s IT and OT working together.

MaadView is that bridge – a cross-platform SCADA and monitoring solution built on trusted open technologies, designed to combine the best of both worlds.

Stop wrestling with integration. Start combining IT and process technology seamlessly.
