Why this matters to our community

Built for the OT/IT crossover

If you're working in industrial automation, you have a data problem. Whether it's fragmented historian data locked in a vendor silo, connectivity dropouts on the plant floor, or the gap between OT time-series data and IT analytics tools — Canary Labs has spent four decades solving exactly those problems.

The Unplugged IIoT community lives at the intersection of OT and IT. Canary's platform is built for exactly that crossover: open architecture, no vendor lock-in, edge-to-cloud adaptable, and designed by engineers who understand what "reliable" means on the plant floor.

The platform, explained

What Canary does

Collect & Store

An industrial-grade data historian with lossless compression. Connects via OPC, MQTT, and SQL. Store & Forward ensures zero data gaps even on unreliable or intermittent plant-floor connectivity.

Apply Context

Virtual Views, Calculation Server, and Events management transform raw time-series data into operational intelligence — so you're not just storing data, you're understanding it.

Maximize Operations

Axiom dashboards, the Excel Add-in, and Data Connectors put insights into the hands of every decision-maker — from plant-floor engineers to the boardroom.
