What's the status of the AutomationDirect → Industrial AI Data Fabric flow today?

All flowing. Productivity tags stream to the fabric is live. No blockers flagged.

Trusted by 240+ teams across Australia + globally

THE REALITY

AutomationDirect is brilliant at what it does. Useless at everything else your data + AI needs to touch.

Tags and registers live in Productivity Suite, low-cost lines report by hand, maintenance reacts after a stoppage, and AI models never see live Modbus data across the fleet.

The integration tool you've already tried probably can't fix it.

What Zapier + iPaaS reach

SaaS-to-SaaS. Useful, until it isn't.

Connectors for AutomationDirect, Slack + a thousand other SaaS apps. Cheap + fast for the easy half of integration. Where they hit a wall:

ERP that needs live machine output and run state per line, not a manual count
Historian and data-warehouse targets that should hold every Productivity tag and CLICK register at full rate
CMMS that should open a work order when a fault or alarm bit fires on the controller
OEE and predictive-maintenance models needing live cycle counts, states and reject data
Low-cost OEM lines running with no SCADA layer to expose the data

What Rayven reaches

SCADA, historians, ERP, IoT + AI. One platform.

The integration platform built for what other tools can't (or won't) reach - plus an AI data fabric, MCP server + app builder layered on top.

AutomationDirect + every SCADA, historian and ERP system
OPC-UA, EtherNet/IP, Modbus, PROFINET, S7 + custom-built connectors.
Files, legacy SQL, FTP + custom-built connectors
Real-time bidirectional sync, tier-aware + rate-limit-safe
AI Data Fabric, MCP, automation + custom apps included

WHAT YOU CAN BUILD

AutomationDirect + Rayven: AI, automation + tools that reach every system you run.

5 examples of what Rayven customers run on AutomationDirect + integrated systems. Built in weeks, not months.

AutomationDirect → Industrial AI Data Fabric

Productivity tags stream to the fabric

Rayven reads Productivity named tags and CLICK and DirectLOGIC registers over Modbus TCP, RTU and EtherNet/IP, and the Productivity OPC-UA server, then streams them into a real-time Industrial AI Data Fabric with historian and ERP context. No Productivity Suite export, no SCADA layer required.

AutomationDirect (fault bit) → CMMS

Fault bit raises the work order

A fault or alarm bit on the controller opens a work order in CMMS automatically, carrying the machine, line and live state so the technician arrives knowing the fault, not just that the line stopped.

AutomationDirect → ERP

Line output posts to ERP

Counts, run state and reject totals read from Productivity tags and CLICK registers post to ERP in real-time, so planning and finance track live output rather than an end-of-run tally.

Mixed AutomationDirect families → Central fabric

Every family reads into one model

Productivity, CLICK, Do-more and DirectLOGIC controllers across a plant read into the same fabric over Modbus and EtherNet/IP, so a mixed low-cost estate reports as one instead of a script per machine.

Rayven (supervised) → AutomationDirect setpoint

Supervised setpoint writeback, safely scoped

Where explicitly scoped, Rayven writes a non-safety setpoint back to a controller register under supervision and full audit. It never reprograms the controller and never writes to safety logic; the control loop stays untouched.

BEYOND INTEGRATION

Integration is the start with Rayven.
Here's what comes with it.

Rayven isn't just a AutomationDirect connector. It's the operational software platform underneath - so once AutomationDirect is connected, four more capabilities come online by default.

AI-ready data layer (AI Data Fabric)

AutomationDirect data joined with ERP, IoT + legacy - contextualised, unified and structured so AI models, agents and tools can use it without ETL prep work.
Learn more →

Live AI access (Rayven MCP)

Claude, ChatGPT + Gemini get live, governed access to AutomationDirect and every other connected system. Your AI stops guessing - cites real AutomationDirect records + numbers.
Learn more →

Automation + AI agents

Workflows + AI agents act on AutomationDirect data without human intervention - escalate at-risk accounts, trigger operational work, auto-update forecasts, draft customer comms.
Learn more →

Custom apps + portals

Unified customer portals, ops dashboards, mobile field apps, partner portals - built on top of integrated AutomationDirect data. No separate BI tool, no separate dev stack.
Learn more →

All on top of your existing stack. No rip + replace. AutomationDirect stays AutomationDirect. Rayven works on what you've already built. Specifically tuned for Productivity named-tag reads with CLICK and DirectLOGIC Modbus addressing resolved.

WHY RAYVEN · NOT JUST ANY CONNECTOR

The integration is the easy bit.
The platform + team behind it is the difference.

99.9% platform uptime

Platform + team. One commercial.

Not five vendors stitched together. Rayven is the platform AND the Australia-based expert team that scopes, builds + supports it. One commercial. No licence stacking, no finger-pointing.

PRODUCTIVITY + MODBUS NATIVE

Built for the AutomationDirect tag model.

Rayven reads Productivity named tags and CLICK and DirectLOGIC Modbus registers over Modbus TCP, RTU and EtherNet/IP for real-time sync, with the Productivity OPC-UA server where fitted. Fixed addressing and named tags resolve to engineering-unit tags - reads and contextualises only, never a write to safety logic.

What is AutomationDirect integration?

AutomationDirect integration means reading tags and registers off Productivity, CLICK, Do-more and DirectLOGIC controllers and connecting them to ERP, CMMS and AI. Rayven delivers it as part of an Industrial AI Data Fabric, not a per-machine script.

Does Rayven reprogram or control our AutomationDirect PLCs?

No. Rayven reads controller tags and registers over Modbus and EtherNet/IP and contextualises them. Supervised writeback is limited to explicitly-scoped non-safety setpoints and never touches safety logic or the control loop. See security, governance + hosting.

Can Rayven read AutomationDirect data without SCADA?

Yes. Rayven reads Productivity, CLICK and DirectLOGIC controllers directly over Modbus, EtherNet/IP or the Productivity OPC-UA server at the edge, so a low-cost line with no supervisory layer still reaches the enterprise. Where you run supervisory software, see SCADA integration. Read more in how Rayven works.

What systems can Rayven connect AutomationDirect to?

Rayven connects AutomationDirect to 1,228+ systems including ERP, historians, CMMS and sibling controllers like Allen-Bradley and Fatek. Custom connectors are part of done-for-you delivery.

How long does AutomationDirect integration take with Rayven?

Most AutomationDirect integrations go live in 2-12 weeks. A single controller-to-historian or fault-to-work-order flow runs in 2-3 weeks; a plant-wide fabric with OEE and predictive maintenance runs 6-12 weeks. Choose DIY, done-for-you or hybrid delivery.

Productivity already has an OPC-UA server. Why does Rayven add value on top?

The Productivity OPC-UA server exposes tags; it does not join them to ERP and maintenance, hold history at rate or run AI - and CLICK and DirectLOGIC have no such server. Rayven reads across every family over Modbus, EtherNet/IP and OPC-UA together and adds the analytics and agent layers on top. Read more in how Rayven works.

What are the technical specifics of AutomationDirect integration with Rayven?

Rayven reads AutomationDirect controllers across the Productivity, CLICK, Do-more and DirectLOGIC families over Modbus TCP and RTU, EtherNet/IP and the OPC-UA server on the Productivity series. Named tags on Productivity and fixed Modbus addressing on CLICK and DirectLOGIC are read at the edge, with word order, data type and scaling resolved so a raw register becomes a named engineering-unit tag in the Industrial AI Data Fabric alongside historian, CMMS and ERP data. Mixed estates running several AutomationDirect families report from one model rather than a script per line. Rayven reads and contextualises only; supervised writeback covers explicitly-scoped non-safety setpoints and never writes to safety logic. Authentication uses OPC-UA certificates where the Productivity server is enabled, governed at the connector with full audit, deployed at the edge, on-premises or with sovereign hosting. Validated against Productivity, CLICK, Do-more and DirectLOGIC controllers across OEM machine lines.
