Data Flows

Prerequisite: Complete the Getting Started guide to understand basic connections and data organization.

Data flows move and transform industrial data in UMH Core. Three types serve different purposes:

Flow Types

Move data into and out of the Unified Namespace with connection monitoring and automatic location path. Support for 50+ industrial protocols (OPC UA, Modbus, S7) plus IT systems. Write flows coming soon - use stand-alone flows meanwhile.

Raw Benthos access for custom processing when bridges or stream processors aren't sufficient. Used as fallback for write flows, external integrations, and specialized transformations.

Transform existing UNS data into different structures. Part of the data modeling system for aggregating device data into business views.

Quick Start

Most users start with bridges to connect devices:

  1. Data FlowsAdd Bridge

  2. Select your protocol (OPC UA, Modbus, S7)

  3. Configure connection and location

  4. Deploy to start data collection
