One-Way Automation is a private technology company offering software and hardware for industrial data collection, protocol conversion, and OT/IT integration, built around OPC UA and MQTT. ## Products ### Idako: Industrial Data Collector https://onewayautomation.com/idako/ High-performance industrial data collection tool bridging OT and IT. Collects data from OPC UA servers and stores/forwards it to SQL databases (MS SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL), time-series databases (InfluxDB, TimescaleDB), and streaming/messaging platforms (Kafka, Confluent, Redpanda, MQTT, Snowflake). Runs on Windows, Linux, and Docker. Current version 4.3.0. Formerly named "ogamma Visual Logger for OPC" (rebranded 2026). Pricing: Community Edition is free forever for commercial use, limited to 64 variables. Standard Edition is a full-featured perpetual license at $1,250 USD. ### Visual Logger (ogamma Visual Logger for OPC) https://onewayautomation.com/visual-logger/ The former name of Idako: Industrial Data Collector, kept live for existing customers and search continuity. Same core function: collects industrial control data from OPC UA servers and stores/forwards it to databases or MQTT brokers, with a Store & Forward technique to prevent data loss during connectivity interruptions. Millisecond resolution (microsecond with InfluxDB), unlimited tags with the Enterprise Edition. Runs on Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi, Docker, and is deployable as an Apache Kafka Source Connector or Azure IoT Edge Module. ### Industrial Data Explorer https://onewayautomation.com/explorer/ Free, web-based tool for exploring and decoding industrial data. Two-in-one: browses OPC UA server address spaces and decodes/visualizes MQTT Sparkplug B payloads in real time. Ships as a Docker image. A public live demo is available at https://ide.opcfy.io, pre-configured with publicly accessible test OPC UA servers and MQTT brokers. ### OPC UA Client C++ SDK https://onewayautomation.com/opcua-sdk/ High-performance C++ SDK for building OPC UA client applications. Supports C++11/14/17, OPC UA 1.04/1.05, and multiple platforms (Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi). Supports custom complex data types via a high-performance binary protocol. Pricing: free Evaluation Edition for development/testing; a perpetual Commercial License for production deployment. ### oBox Industrial PC https://onewayautomation.com/obox/ Fanless Industrial PC built to run IIoT Edge applications — One-Way Automation's own software (e.g. Idako), third-party apps (e.g. Ignition Edge), or open-source tools (Node-RED, Mosquitto).

Delivers data to SQL databases, InfluxDB, Kafka/Confluent, or any MQTT broker. Fully remotely managed (OS terminal access, log viewing, remote restart/upgrade, module configuration GUIs). Pricing (estimates, perpetual licenses): oBox Industrial PC from $295 USD; Protocol Converter (via Takebishi DeviceGateway) from $440 USD; OPC UA Data Logger (Idako) from $1,250 USD; Data Harmonizer (via Prosys OPC UA Forge) from $1,320 USD; complete oBox Suite bundle from $3,305 USD. Final pricing depends on selected modules — contact for an accurate quote. ### OPC UA Modbus Server https://onewayautomation.com/modbus-server/ ogamma Modbus OPC UA Server connects to Modbus devices over TCP/IP, RS-232, or RS-485, and exposes their coils/registers as variables in an OPC UA Server address space.
