From your PLC to the cloud, step by step
You set it up from the app or ask your AI assistant to do it. Here are the steps, what it connects, what it integrates with and how it is protected.
What you need
A device on the shop floor
A PC or an IPC you already have, or our gateway, available on request.
An internet connection
So that device can send the data. If the connection drops, it stores the data for about 1 or 2 days and sends it when it is back.
A way to read the machine
OPC UA, Modbus RTU or TCP, an analog input or a pulse counter. No machine redesign.
Four steps, no coding
Create the project and its structure
You arrange your equipment the way your plant is laid out: site, plant, area and line.

Add the gateway
coppioT generates the installation files for your gateway. On our gateway they install themselves as soon as you give it internet access. On your own PC or IPC, you install them.

Add the devices
You choose the device, its protocol and the values you want to read. No machine redesign.
See the data
Values arrive in real time and stay in the history. Dashboards, KPIs and alerts come from there.

With your AIYou ask your assistant and review it in the app.
Or ask your AI assistant
Your assistant does what you would do in the app: projects, locations, gateways, devices and values. It does it with your user and your permissions, and you review it in the app.
- Set up a device from its manualYou hand it the PDF and it prepares the device with its values.
- Ask about your data"How much did line 2 consume this week?"

What it connectsOPC UA, Modbus RTU and TCP, analog inputs and pulse counters.
OPC UA and Modbus: equipment of any brand
What matters is not the brand of the equipment but how it communicates. This is what it connects today.
OPC UA
PLCs and controllers. Older PLCs, through an OPC UA server.
Modbus RTU and TCP
Energy analyzers, meters and other devices.
Analog inputs
Probes and sensors, with our gateway.
Pulse counters
Flow meters and counters, with our gateway.
Does your equipment speak another protocol?
Adding other protocols is easy and is not a blocker. If yours is not on the list, IO-Link for example, tell us and we make it compatible.
Our gateway
A rugged industrial device, with Modbus RTU and TCP, analog inputs and a pulse counter. It is an option, not a requirement: coppioT is compatible with any PC or IPC. The difference is that on our gateway installation is automatic.
- If the internet drops, the device stores the dataThe device on the shop floor (edge computing) stores it for about 1 or 2 days and sends it when the connection is back.
- I/O hardware from another manufacturer?It can be made compatible with a specific module, at a small cost.
IntegrationsGrafana, Power BI and your API.
Your charts and reports, in Grafana and Power BI
Our aim is to help you get the implementation done simply and quickly. That is why coppioT works with Grafana and Power BI: your data reaches the dashboards and reports you already use.
Grafana and Power BI
Your data in the dashboards and reports you already know.
Your API
We can integrate it with your API. If it is of general interest, we can add it to the product; if it is specific, it has an implementation cost.
Your systems
Once in the cloud, the data can be taken to your ERP or your predictive maintenance system.
SecurityAn isolated environment per customer on AWS, in the region you choose.
Industrial IoT security: each customer in their own environment
Security is one of the concerns of whoever sets it up. This is what coppioT does.
- An isolated environment (sandbox) per customercoppioT creates a separate environment on AWS for each customer.
- In the region you chooseYou decide which AWS region each project is deployed in.
- Users and permissionsEach person, and your AI assistant too, acts with their own user and role.

What it connects
PLCs, controllers, energy analyzers and other devices of any brand. Also analog inputs and pulse counters.

About how it is set up
Does it work with a Siemens or Beckhoff PLC?
Yes, if it communicates over OPC UA or Modbus TCP. What matters is not the brand but how it communicates. Older PLCs connect through an OPC UA server.
Is industrial IoT secure?
It depends on how it is built. coppioT creates an isolated environment (sandbox) on AWS for each customer, in the region you choose, and each person acts with their own user and role.
What if my equipment speaks another protocol?
Tell us. Adding other protocols is easy and is not a blocker.
Do I need your gateway?
No. coppioT is compatible with any PC or IPC. Our industrial gateway is available on request.
