Industrial Data Connectivity · IIoT · OT/IT Convergence
Move your industrial data
from the plant floor to the cloud.
White Room Automation connects and transports operational data across your industrial, corporate and cloud networks — securely, reliably and with full context. We turn isolated OT systems into a unified data foundation ready for analytics, AI and enterprise decision-making.

Getting data is easy. Moving it well is hard.
Pulling operational data off the plant floor is no longer the problem — there are countless ways to do it. The real challenge is the lack of a standardized way to move that data between many systems, across every level of the corporate network, and for many different use cases at once — securely, robustly, and with its context intact.
Without that standard, every new use case demands a new method of extraction, and teams usually fall back on one of two workarounds — both of which create problems:
Repurpose legacy connections
It's tempting because the OT/IT bridge already exists — often a data historian spanning the two layers. But these systems are expensive and typically licensed per data point, so every point added just to pass data through raises licensing cost and load — while forcing a system meant to be a data consumer to act as a data pipeline.
Add another point tool
Or they bolt new connectivity software onto the OT infrastructure for that one use case. With no standardized method, this repeats with every project — leaving a tangle of overlapping data pipelines, one per use case, to secure and maintain.
White Room Automation designs and deploys a standardized data layer instead — so data is accessed once, at the source, and made available securely and with full context to every system, level and team. New use cases plug into the same layer rather than reconfiguring your control systems or adding yet another pipeline.
What we do
Connectivity that spans every layer
Collect at the edge
Acquire data from PLCs, controllers, sensors, historians, DCSs and RTUs across every major vendor system — using edge gateways that need no programming to deploy.
Transport with context
Move data reliably across OT, corporate and cloud networks with store-and-forward integrity, standardized metadata and preserved hierarchy — so nothing is lost or stripped of meaning.
Deliver to the cloud
Land governed, analytics-ready data in Azure, AWS, Microsoft Fabric, databases and enterprise platforms — enabling real-time analytics, AI and digital transformation.
Secure by design
Move data without opening your OT network. Connections can be configured outbound-only — no inbound firewall ports — while still supporting bidirectional flow where a use case requires it, all with end-to-end SSL/TLS encryption and certificate-based (X.509) authentication. Deployed through the industrial DMZ, this reverse-connection model shrinks the attack surface, while store-and-forward guarantees no data is lost.
Build once, use everywhere
One data layer, every use case
Too often, OT/IT convergence happens one project at a time — a custom pipeline built for a single application. When the next use case arrives, that pipeline falls short, and the workarounds pile up into costly, ungovernable sprawl. We take a different approach: a Unified OT Data Layer that standardizes how operational data is accessed across OT, the DMZ, the business layer and the cloud — so every new application draws from the same governed source instead of starting over.
