Features of the data collector

Buffer

“Don't lose important data”, PIPER Collector allows temporary storage of data in the event of any event and subsequent resending of data.

Exception

Reduce the storage of unnecessary data and noise from variables, allowing disk space to be freed up.

Bandwidth

Enhances network performance by transmitting only meaningful data for historization, significantly reducing traffic load.

Multiple Instances

Enables the creation of multiple data collection instances, integrating various communication protocols into a single device interface—maximizing system efficiency and scalability.

Help points

Piper provides intelligent, real-time monitoring of your operational infrastructure, using health tags that ensure connectivity and the continuous flow of events from all your data sources.

High Availability with Collector Interface Failover

The Collector interface failover, also known as interface redundancy, is a high-availability mechanism that ensures the operational continuity of the PIPER Operational Intelligence Platform in the event of network failures.

When a primary network interface experiences a fault, the system automatically transfers the load to a secondary Collector interface, maintaining operations without service loss or with minimal disruption.

This process is seamless to the user and helps preserve the infrastructure’s stability, reliability, and performance—even in critical scenarios.

Load Balance

Piper Collector on Windows and Linux

With full support for both Windows and Linux, Piper Collector integrates seamlessly into any operating environment, delivering maximum flexibility and reliability for businesses that demand uncompromising performance.

From Servers to Industrial Devices

Thanks to its versatile architecture, Piper Collector can be easily installed on a wide range of hardware, from high-performance servers to compact devices like Raspberry Pi.
It connects seamlessly to the cloud, enabling smart IoT solutions for efficient and connected industrial management.
