Protocol Bridging & Translation
Connecting disparate systems across incompatible communication protocols
Modbus to MQTT. CAN to REST. Legacy to cloud — bridged, not rebuilt.
What This Service
Actually Covers
Industrial facilities and legacy products use a zoo of protocols — Modbus RTU/TCP, OPC-UA, CAN, PROFIBUS, BACnet, proprietary serial — that modern cloud systems cannot speak natively. We build protocol bridges and gateways that translate between legacy field protocols and modern IP-based systems, unlocking data that has been locked in equipment for decades.

Everything Included
A detailed breakdown of every capability we bring to this engagement — no hidden scope.
Modbus RTU/TCP → MQTT/REST gateway development
OPC-UA server and client implementation
CAN bus (CANopen, J1939) → cloud connectivity
BACnet → IP bridge for building automation integration
Proprietary serial protocol reverse engineering and bridging
Edge gateway design on Raspberry Pi, Yocto Linux, or ESP32
Data normalisation and transformation pipelines
Protocol bridge reliability: reconnect logic, buffering, and alarming
How We Approach
This Service
A clear, structured methodology tailored specifically to this engagement.
Protocol Audit & Data Mapping
Document all source protocols, register maps, and data items. Define the target data model and mapping rules.
Gateway Architecture Design
Select hardware and software platform for the gateway, design the translation pipeline, and define error handling.
Bridge Development & Lab Testing
Develop and test the protocol bridge in the lab with target devices and destination cloud system.
Field Deployment & Validation
Deploy to the target environment, validate data accuracy, and set up monitoring and reconnect alerting.
Ideal For
Manufacturers and facilities teams needing to connect legacy OT equipment to modern cloud platforms or analytics systems.
What You Receive
Protocol bridge software, gateway configuration, data mapping specification, and deployment/operations guide.
Often Combined With
These services frequently complement Protocol Bridging & Translation in the same project.
