Beckhoff is brilliant at what it does. Useless at everything else your data + AI needs to touch.
TwinCAT symbols live on the IPC, PC-based lines log by hand, maintenance reacts after a stoppage, and AI models never see live ADS data across the machine fleet.
The integration tool you've already tried probably can't fix it.
SaaS-to-SaaS. Useful, until it isn't.
Connectors for Beckhoff, 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 from PC-based lines, not a manual log
- Historian and data-warehouse targets that should hold every TwinCAT symbol at full rate
- CMMS that should open a work order when a TwinCAT fault or alarm symbol fires
- OEE and predictive-maintenance models needing live cycle, motion and reject data
- EtherCAT process data trapped inside the machine with no governed path to the enterprise
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.
- Beckhoff + 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
Beckhoff + Rayven: AI, automation + tools that reach every system you run.
5 examples of what Rayven customers run on Beckhoff + integrated systems. Built in weeks, not months.
TwinCAT symbols stream to the fabric
Rayven reads TwinCAT 3 symbols and I/O over the ADS protocol, the native OPC-UA server and MQTT, then streams them into a real-time Industrial AI Data Fabric with historian and ERP context. No IPC-side export, no SCADA layer required.
Fault symbol raises the work order
A TwinCAT fault or alarm symbol 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 IPC halted.
Machine output posts to ERP
Counts, run state and reject totals read from TwinCAT symbols post to ERP in real-time, so planning and finance track live output from PC-based lines rather than an end-of-run log.
Motion data feeds predictive maintenance
Axis load, torque and cycle data riding EtherCAT reads out through the TwinCAT runtime into predictive-maintenance models, so Rayven flags drive and mechanism wear before a machine drops a shift.
Supervised setpoint writeback, safely scoped
Where explicitly scoped, Rayven writes a non-safety recipe or setpoint symbol back to the TwinCAT runtime under supervision and full audit. It never reprograms the machine and never writes to TwinSAFE safety; the control loop stays untouched.
Integration is the start with Rayven.
Here's what comes with it.
Rayven isn't just a Beckhoff connector. It's the operational software platform underneath - so once Beckhoff is connected, four more capabilities come online by default.
AI-ready data layer (AI Data Fabric)
Beckhoff data joined with ERP, IoT + legacy - contextualised, unified and structured so AI models, agents and tools can use it without ETL prep work.

Automation + AI agents
Workflows + AI agents act on Beckhoff 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 Beckhoff data. No separate BI tool, no separate dev stack.

All on top of your existing stack. No rip + replace. Beckhoff stays Beckhoff. Rayven works on what you've already built. Specifically tuned for TwinCAT ADS symbol reads with structured-type decoding and EtherCAT data surfaced.
Rayven is a five-layer platform ALL your integrations + much more
can run on.
Integration is one layer of Rayven. Data, execution, presentation + governance are the other four - all delivered as one platform on one commercial.
Pick the right tool for your stack.
Beckhoff integration looks different at every scale. Honest comparison of the four common paths - Rayven only wins on some of them.
The integration is the easy bit.
The platform + team behind it is the difference.
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.
Built for the PC-based TwinCAT model.
Rayven reads TwinCAT 3 symbols and I/O over the ADS protocol, the native OPC-UA server and MQTT for real-time sync, decoding structured symbol types to engineering-unit tags. EtherCAT data is surfaced from the machine - reads and contextualises only, never a write to TwinSAFE safety.
We stay after go-live.
No handoff. No disappearing. Rayven is a long-term partner when your Beckhoff evolves, your stack changes, or you push further. 24/7 support. Same team, same platform, same commercial.
Hosted your way, where you need.
Deploy as cloud, private cloud + on-premise - in Australia, the US, the UK, or anywhere else your Beckhoff data needs to live. Your residency, your rules, your local compliance environment.
The questions Beckhoff admins, RevOps + IT ask first.

What is Beckhoff integration?
Beckhoff integration means reading process symbols off PC-based TwinCAT 3 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 TwinCAT machines?
No. Rayven reads TwinCAT symbols over ADS and OPC-UA and contextualises them. Supervised writeback is limited to explicitly-scoped non-safety recipes and setpoints, and never touches TwinSAFE safety or the control task. See security, governance + hosting.
Can Rayven read TwinCAT data without SCADA?
Yes. Rayven reads TwinCAT symbols directly over the ADS protocol or the native OPC-UA server at the edge, so a standalone 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 Beckhoff to?
Rayven connects TwinCAT to 1,228+ systems including ERP, historians, CMMS and sibling controllers like Siemens and B&R Automation. Custom connectors are part of done-for-you delivery.
How long does Beckhoff integration take with Rayven?
Most Beckhoff 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.
TwinCAT already embeds OPC-UA and ADS. Why does Rayven add value on top?
The native OPC-UA server and ADS expose symbols; they do not join them across machines, hold history at full rate or run AI. Rayven reads over ADS and OPC-UA together, surfaces EtherCAT data and adds the cross-machine analytics and agent layers on top. Read more in how Rayven works.
What are the technical specifics of Beckhoff integration with Rayven?
Rayven reads Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 controllers over the ADS protocol and the native OPC-UA server, with MQTT publishing where configured. Published symbols, 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 EtherCAT inside the machine is surfaced out through the TwinCAT runtime for predictive-maintenance models. Rayven reads and contextualises only; supervised writeback covers explicitly-scoped non-safety recipes and setpoints, and never writes to the TwinSAFE safety runtime or the control task. Authentication and access are governed at the connector with full audit, deployed at the edge, on-premises or with sovereign hosting. Validated against TwinCAT 3 on Beckhoff Industrial PCs and embedded controllers across machine-automation lines.
