Production data platform: the data foundation for transparency, automation, and AI applications in production
With autinityDAP, you can make your production data-driven without the need for complicated integration projects or isolated solutions. The platform unifies and harmonises all machine data automatically, creating a scalable foundation. Thanks to standardised connectors and clear data models, information becomes visible and usable for better decision-making, automated processes and AI-supported process optimisation.
The central platform for your connected production
Up to
70%
less Excel effort through automation.
Up to
50%
less manual effort through digital data capture.
Up to
60%
faster decision-making through real-time data.
Up to
25%
efficiency increase through standardized data models.
Capture data directly:
Reliably collect machine and process data in real-time directly from the plant.
Unified namespace for your database:
Automatically structure and prepare raw data for comparison using uniform standards.
Flexible processing:
Process and analyse data locally at the edge or centrally as required.
Seamless provisioning:
Seamlessly provide information to MES, ERP, analyses or dashboards.
Sovereign system connectivity:
Quickly integrate machines and plants, regardless of the manufacturer.
autinityDAP relies on an open ecosystem: solutions grow with your requirements.
You integrate proven partner applications and develop your own apps if needed, which you can deploy directly on the IPCs. Examples of already integrated apps:
- Node-RED: Model workflows, connect data, and execute logics directly at the edge.
- PLC‑Simulator: Simulate and test signals or use cases – a virtual PLC without additional hardware.
- Prebuilt connector apps: A selection of apps to provide data flexibly – for example with SQL databases, cloud systems via MQTT\NATS or local CSV files.

- Uniform data points via local tag management
- Standardized data provisioning for dashboards, CSV exports, or databases
- Easy expansion through additional connectors or local apps
- Independent operation without central infrastructure
Ready for immediate use and can be integrated without complex IT projects.
Make data from your machinery centrally visible and controllable.
Start with little effort and achieve rapid digitalization success.
autinityDAP Enterprise – the scalable solution for your plants
The enterprise version standardizes connectivity and data models across all locations. Devices, apps, and versions can be rolled out centrally from a single plant to a global production network.
- Centrally controlled device management via the DAP board
- Central tag library as a digital twin for uniform data models
- Central app management for managing internal and external apps as well as site-wide provision in consistent versions
- Flexible data paths into MES, ERP, and cloud environments
- Standardized rollouts for lines, plants, and entire production networks
Experience autinityDAP in practice
Listen to our podcast now! – Experience the use of our software solution autinityDAP at KSG PCB in practice. The focus is on the introduction of autinityDAP Starter and the intelligent networking of ERP systems, PLC controls, and a heterogeneous machine park. The goal of KSG PCB is a scalable system landscape that enables structured data acquisition, recipe management, and also writing back to machine controls.
We analyze your requirements together and show concrete steps for your next use case.
