How pronubes works — from the sensor to the decision.
pronubes connects machines, systems, and sites into a continuous data infrastructure — from capturing data at the source to a visible, traceable data architecture during live operation.
Four building blocks work together here: pronubes Edge captures and processes data on-site, Connectivity links systems via open standards, pronubes Zones maps the structure, and pronubes Insights makes the interplay visible.

The path of your data through pronubes
Five steps that turn scattered raw data into a resilient, productively usable data architecture.
Capture
pronubes Edge connects machines, sensors, and systems directly at the source.
Connect
Connectivity unifies protocols such as OPC UA, MQTT, REST, and SQL into one common language.
Structure
pronubes Zones maps locations, areas, and systems into a clear structure.
Make visible
pronubes Insights shows status, data flows, and diagnostics during live operation.
Respond
Decisions and optimizations feed directly back into production.
One platform, four building blocks
pronubes is inray’s platform for continuous connectivity: a common foundation that connects machines, equipment, and enterprise systems via open standards. Instead of individual point-to-point solutions, pronubes brings network segmentation, visibility, and edge processing together in one continuous system — from the edge to the cloud and back to the shop floor.
The following four building blocks complement each other and can be introduced independently of one another.
pronubes Edge — process data where it originates
pronubes Edge works like a universal translator for your systems. Edge instances enable communication between machines, applications, and systems and can be integrated into existing environments quickly and easily. With the right interfaces, pronubes Edge can connect more than 100 different systems with one another.
This creates automated data exchange through the integration of your systems and solutions — from the machine, through MES and ERP systems, all the way to the cloud, with low latency and high availability directly on-site.
- Standard interfaces for data exchange
- State-of-the-art IT/OT integration
- Connectivity for all industry-relevant systems
- Full transparency as the basis for production optimization
Connectivity — a common language for IT and OT
At pronubes, connectivity refers to the ability to connect machines, controllers, IT systems, and cloud services with one another regardless of manufacturer, age, or protocol. Instead of building a separate point-to-point integration for every connection, pronubes provides a central connector layer that uniformly supports common standards such as OPC UA, MQTT, REST, and SQL.
New machines, sites, or cloud services can be connected without rebuilding existing integrations — and the status of every connection remains centrally traceable.
- Open standards, uniformly supported
- One connector layer instead of individual integrations
- Secure by design from the start
- Status of every connection visible centrally
pronubes Zones — your structure, freely definable
pronubes Zones are areas within pronubes used to group systems according to freely selectable criteria. This makes it possible to map the company structure technically, geographically, or hierarchically.
Organized geographically
By location- Zone: Berlin plant
- Zone: New York plant
- Zone: Frankfurt plant
Organized technically
By system component- Cloud connection
- ERP connection
- Databases
Organized hierarchically
By ISA-95 / Unified Namespace- Enterprise
- Site Hamburg
- Line 1 or packaging cell
pronubes provides a robust foundation for grouping IT systems logically, presenting them clearly, and monitoring them efficiently. Companies with growth, complexity, or distributed IT structures benefit especially.
pronubes Insights — transparency during live operation
pronubes Insights makes visible how edge instances, connections, and industrial data flows work during live operation. This lets IT and OT teams recognize early whether systems are reachable, data is processed reliably, and interfaces remain stable.
This visualization adds the crucial layer to the other building blocks: traceability instead of a black box, diagnosis instead of guesswork.
- Status of all edge instances at a glance
- Trace data flows and connections
- Spot disruptions early
- Keep operations under control

With pronubes, you make production data usable across systems and enable data-driven responses, optimizations, and event-driven control — directly in production.
Make production data usable
We connect machines, systems, and platforms into a consistent data foundation.
Turn data into the basis for decisions
Production data becomes the foundation for rules, logic, and data-driven processes.
Feed decisions back into production
Results and optimizations act directly on workflows and processes on the shop floor.
AI-assisted Production
AI only becomes valuable once it can be used operationally. pronubes brings AI insights back into the process in a controlled manner — from the assistance system to established optimization.
