Opto 22 launched groov EPIC, a unified industrial platform combining a real-time control engine, operator interface, software tools, and a secure gateway powered by its high-quality I/O system.

For 50 years, OEMs, machine builders, system integrators, and IT and operations personnel have looked to Opto 22 for innovative automation products at an affordable price. Heard of OPC? We co-wrote the spec as one of the founding members. Ethernet I/O? That was us. PACs? Us again. We still embed these tools and more in the industrial control and IIoT products we design and manufacture today. Our groov EPIC® edge programmable industrial controllers and groov RIO™ edge I/O run on standard Ethernet networks and offer multiple OPC UA Server options. And their standards-based IT protocols and cybersecurity features meet your needs for industrial data. Opto 22 products are deployed in applications worldwide through our network of distributors and system integrators. Let the engineers at Opto 22 help with your digital transformation. Opto 22’s groov® family of industrial edge controllers and I/O is designed from the ground up with integrated control, connectivity, and cybersecurity tools to help you connect automation, enterprise, and cloud data. ● Securely access, monitor, and maintain your systems at remote locations or customer sites ● Collect, process, and publish operational and energy data backed by fault-tolerant storage and store-and-forward capability ● Develop real-time control programs in a language you know: ladder logic, function block diagram, flowcharts, Python, C/C++, and more ● Build dynamic operator HMI screens for embedded or external touchscreens, mobile devices, and browsers ● Replace costly, high-maintenance Windows PCs for HMI, OPC, and data processing with Linux-based industrial processors ● Secure existing PLCs, traditional I/O, and standalone equipment, then integrate it with databases, business systems, and cloud services
