SOLUTIONS - AUTOMATION SOFTWARE
Automate anything. IT, OT, IoT + AI - in one place.
Real-time, AI-powered, closed-loop automation across every system you run. The simple stuff Zapier handles + the systems Zapier can't touch - on one platform, built + managed your way.
IT + OT + IoT · REAL-TIME + AI-NATIVE · AUSTRALIA-BASED TEAM
PRE-BUILT CONNECTORS
IT, OT, IoT + SaaS - one platform.
EVENT-DRIVEN TRIGGERS
Real-time, not polling cycles.
LIVE IN PRODUCTION
First automation, done-for-you.
PLATFORM, NOT FIVE
Replaces Zapier, n8n, Make, Power Automate + more.
WHAT WE DO
Most automation tools stop at the SaaS layer.
Zapier, Make, n8n + Power Automate are good at connecting cloud apps. But the systems that actually run your operations - SCADA, PLCs, sensors, industrial protocols, legacy databases - sit outside their world.
Logic gets brittle when workflows span multiple systems. AI is something you bolt on separately. And none of them can write commands back to physical equipment to actually close the loop.
Rayven does all of that + the simple stuff - on one platform, with the option of having our team scope, design + deploy it for you.

AUTOMATION IN EVERY LAYER
Automation in every layer.
Live. End-to-end.
Most automation tools sit between your apps. Rayven runs automation through every layer of your operational stack - from first event to final action, with logic + AI native at every step.
Connect the triggers
600+ connectors across IT, OT, IoT + SaaS. Every system becomes an automation trigger - bidirectionally.

WHY AUTOMATION FAILS
Why most automation hits a wall.
Your tools stop at SaaS
Zapier, Make + n8n were built for cloud apps. OT systems, SCADA, PLCs, industrial protocols + IoT devices sit outside their world entirely. The systems that actually run your operations stay disconnected.
Polling, not real-time
Most automation tools check for changes every 1-15 minutes. For industrial, operational or time-sensitive processes, that latency is unacceptable. Real automation needs sub-second, event-driven triggers.
Brittle across boundaries
Workflows fail when they span multiple systems, teams + environments. Error handling is manual, retry logic is basic + debugging cross-system failures takes days. Most tools weren't built for messy reality.
AI is bolted on
Most automation tools let you call an AI API and that is it. Rayven embeds AI at every decision point - anomaly triggers, predictive nodes, AI agents that act autonomously + gen AI mid-workflow.
Notification is not action
Most tools fire an alert or create a ticket. Rayven sends commands back to physical systems - adjusts a PLC setpoint, updates an ERP record, triggers a field team task - automatically.
Costs balloon with scale
Per-task, per-connector + per-execution pricing means costs spiral as you automate more. Rayven uses a flat platform subscription - automate more without paying more.
ONE PLATFORM. EIGHT AUTOMATION TOOLS INTO ONE.
Not a forced migration.
A unified automation fabric - or an integration layer.
You do not have to migrate off your existing automation tools. We can integrate to them + complement them. But for most businesses, Rayven replaces eight categories of tool - on one platform, in a fraction of the time + cost.

Five layers. AI-native + closed-loop. One platform.
Everything Rayven does for automation - across IT, OT, IoT + AI - on one unified platform.
What is workflow automation software?
Workflow automation software replaces manual, rule-bound processes with logic-driven execution. It monitors conditions, evaluates rules + triggers actions automatically - data movement, system updates, alerts, approvals + machine commands - based on events, schedules or conditions.
Most tools handle simple cloud-app workflows. Rayven extends this to OT, IoT + legacy systems most platforms can't reach.
What makes Rayven automation different?
Rayven automation is real-time, AI-native + closed-loop. It connects every system you run (IT + OT + IoT), evaluates conditions against a real-time data fabric, runs multi-step logic with AI at every decision point, and writes commands back to source systems automatically - with full audit + governance built in.

FAQS
Automation software, questions answered.
The questions ops leads, IT directors + digital transformation teams ask us most often.
What is workflow automation software?
Workflow automation software replaces manual, rule-bound processes with logic-driven execution. It monitors conditions, evaluates rules + triggers actions automatically - data movement, system updates, alerts, approvals + machine commands. Rayven extends this to integration, AI + OT/IoT systems most tools can't reach, on a single unified data platform.
How is Rayven different from Zapier?
Zapier connects modern SaaS apps - it does that well. It does not connect to OT systems, SCADA, industrial protocols, legacy databases or IoT devices. It polls for changes every 1-15 minutes rather than reacting in real-time. And it can't write commands back to physical equipment. Rayven does everything Zapier does plus the systems Zapier can't reach. See the full integration layer.
How is Rayven different from n8n or Make?
n8n is developer-friendly + self-hostable, but still limited to APIs + webhooks - no native OT or industrial support. Make is SaaS-only with no on-premise option. Neither offers AI-native logic or done-for-you delivery. Rayven covers all of the above, adds AI-native automation, enterprise governance + a team that can build it for you.
Can Rayven automate OT + industrial systems?
Yes - this is one of Rayven's core differentiators. Native support for OPC UA, OPC DA, Modbus TCP/RTU, MQTT, BACnet, EtherNet/IP. Rayven connects PLCs, DCS, SCADA systems + historian databases into the same automation fabric as your SaaS + IT systems. Read about the Rayven Integration layer.
What does “closed-loop automation” mean?
Most automation tools send a notification or create a ticket. Closed-loop means the system takes action - writing a command back to the source system that triggered the event. For example: detecting anomalous vibration on a machine + automatically adjusting its PLC setpoint, or detecting low stock in a WMS + automatically raising a purchase order in the ERP. Rayven delivers this through its Execution layer.
How does AI fit into Rayven's automation?
AI isn't a bolt-on. Rayven embeds AI at multiple points within any workflow: anomaly detection as event triggers, predictive models as decision nodes (act before failure, not after), AI agents that execute multi-step sequences autonomously, and generative AI for classification, summarisation + content mid-workflow. Explore Rayven's Custom AI capabilities.
Is the automation real-time or scheduled?
Both - and Rayven supports every pattern in between. Event-driven triggers fire in sub-second when conditions are met. Schedule-based automation runs on cron-style or calendar triggers. Batch automation processes datasets on defined cycles. The Rayven Data layer ensures all triggers evaluate against live, governed data.
Can automation write back to our existing systems?
Yes - bidirectionally. Rayven reads from and writes to any connected system: update SAP or Oracle records, push approval status back into Salesforce, send commands to PLCs or SCADA, trigger downstream workflows in connected SaaS. See how the Rayven Integration Engine makes this possible.
Do I need developers to build automation with Rayven?
No. Rayven's platform includes a visual no-code workflow builder - drag-and-drop logic, connectors + AI nodes. Developers can drop into code for advanced logic, but the majority of automation is buildable without writing a line. Or use the done-for-you pathway and have Rayven's team build it entirely. Talk to us about the right approach.
How is Rayven's automation priced?
Flat platform subscription - not per-task, per-trigger or per-connector. You don't pay more as you automate more processes. Done-for-you delivery is fixed-scope, fixed-price. Contact us for a pricing conversation.
Where can Rayven be deployed?
SaaS (managed Azure), private cloud (your AWS, Azure or GCP), on-premise + edge. For OT + industrial environments, on-premise + edge deployment keeps automation local to control loops - no cloud latency, no data leaving the plant. Read about hosting, security + compliance.
Why Rayven costs less than enterprise solutions.
Businesses of all shapes and sizes need powerful systems, but not the cost and chaos that come with traditional enterprise software.
Rayven delivers the same outcomes as multiple, expensive enterprise technologies, but with a radically lighter footprint + much, much faster.
