THE REALITY

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

B&R variables stay in Automation Studio, OEM machines report at end of run, maintenance reacts to stoppages, and AI models never see live OPC-UA 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 B&R, 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 per line across an OEM fleet
Historian and data-warehouse targets that should hold every B&R variable at full rate
CMMS that should open a work order when a B&R fault or alarm variable fires
OEE and predictive-maintenance models needing live cycle, motion and reject data
POWERLINK process data trapped inside the machine with no path to the enterprise

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.

B&R + 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

B&R + Rayven: AI, automation + tools that reach every system you run.

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

B&R → Industrial AI Data Fabric

B&R variables stream to the fabric

Rayven reads X20 and Automation PC variables over the native OPC-UA server and MQTT, then streams them into a real-time Industrial AI Data Fabric with historian and ERP context. No Automation Studio export, no SCADA layer required.

B&R (fault variable) → CMMS

Fault variable raises the work order

A B&R fault or alarm variable 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 machine idled.

B&R → ERP

Machine output posts to ERP

Counts, run state and reject totals read from B&R variables post to ERP in real-time, so planning and finance track live output across the OEM fleet rather than an end-of-run log.

POWERLINK motion → PdM models

Motion data feeds predictive maintenance

Axis load, torque and cycle data riding POWERLINK reads out through the B&R controller into predictive-maintenance models, so Rayven flags drive and mechanism wear before a machine drops a shift.

Rayven (supervised) → B&R setpoint

Supervised setpoint writeback, safely scoped

Where explicitly scoped, Rayven writes a non-safety recipe or setpoint variable back to the B&R controller under supervision and full audit. It never reprograms the machine and never writes to the SafeLOGIC safety controller.

BEYOND INTEGRATION

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

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

AI-ready data layer (AI Data Fabric)

B&R 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 B&R and every other connected system. Your AI stops guessing - cites real B&R records + numbers.
Learn more →

Automation + AI agents

Workflows + AI agents act on B&R 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 B&R data. No separate BI tool, no separate dev stack.
Learn more →

All on top of your existing stack. No rip + replace. B&R stays B&R. Rayven works on what you've already built. Specifically tuned for B&R OPC-UA variable reads with POWERLINK process data surfaced.

What is B&R Automation integration?

B&R integration means reading machine variables off X20 and Automation PC controllers and connecting them to ERP, CMMS and AI. Rayven delivers it as part of an Industrial AI Data Fabric, not a per-machine gateway.

Does Rayven reprogram or control our B&R machines?

No. Rayven reads B&R variables over OPC-UA and contextualises them. Supervised writeback is limited to explicitly-scoped non-safety recipes and setpoints, and never touches the SafeLOGIC safety controller or motion control. See security, governance + hosting.

Can Rayven read B&R data without SCADA?

Yes. Rayven reads X20 and Automation PC variables directly over the native OPC-UA server at the edge, so an OEM machine 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 B&R Automation to?

Rayven connects B&R to 1,228+ systems including ERP, historians, CMMS and sibling controllers like Beckhoff and ABB. Custom connectors are part of done-for-you delivery.

How long does B&R Automation integration take with Rayven?

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

B&R controllers embed OPC-UA. Why does Rayven add value on top?

The native OPC-UA server exposes variables; it does not join them across machines, hold history at full rate or run AI. Rayven reads over OPC-UA and MQTT, surfaces POWERLINK data and adds the cross-machine analytics and agent layers on top. Read more in how Rayven works.

What are the technical specifics of B&R Automation integration with Rayven?

Rayven reads B&R X20 and Automation PC controllers over the native OPC-UA server and MQTT, with POWERLINK process data surfaced out through the runtime. Variables flagged for OPC-UA access, structured types, I/O and machine-state values are read at the edge and decoded to named engineering-unit tags, then mapped field by field into an Industrial AI Data Fabric alongside historian, CMMS and ERP data. Axis load, torque and cycle data riding POWERLINK inside the machine feeds predictive-maintenance models. Rayven reads and contextualises only; supervised writeback covers explicitly-scoped non-safety recipes and setpoints, and never writes to the SafeLOGIC safety controller or motion control. Authentication uses OPC-UA certificates, governed at the connector with full audit, deployed at the edge, on-premises or with sovereign hosting. Validated against X20 and Automation PC controllers across OEM machine fleets.
