Real Time Automation designs industrial data connectivity products that move real-time machine data between PLCs, networks, historians, enterprise systems and Cloud applications. We build industrial protocol gateways, edge data historians and embedded connectivity software used on factory floors and inside OEM devices worldwide.Customers use our products to connect devices with different network technologies together. Our products can move data between EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, BACnet, SNMP and other networks. Industrial controls engineers use our products to move data from these networks into Allen-Bradley and Siemens PLC architectures.RTA’s founder, John S. Rinaldi, worked in all facets of manufacturing automation, including device development, factory floor controls and enterprise systems. He consistently found the same problems: complicated networking, difficult and slow deployments and poor after-sale support.Real Time Automation with a different focus. Make industrial networking products that are easy to configure and fast to deploy with engineer-level customer support as a core product feature, not an afterthought.For more than 30 years, we have built connectivity products that solve real production problems. Our gateways move data reliably between machines and networks. Our embedded connectivity stacks put industrial communications directly inside OEM equipment. Our historians collect and publish real-time data for compliance, monitoring and operations.Industrial devices require native Allen-Bradley and Siemens connectivity to meet OEM and machine-builder requirements.We make industrial connectivity simple. Our products move your data between any machine, PLC, protocol, historian or enterprise system with the fastest time-to-value in the industry.Real Time Automation has supported customers across manufacturing, OEM equipment design and system integration in the United States and around the world. Our products are used everywhere, from small specialty shops to Fortune 500 production facilities that rely on fast, reliable industrial data movement.Engineers choose RTA because we solve practical connectivity problems on the factory floor. Whether the need is protocol conversion, PLC data collection, historian integration or OEM-grade embedded connectivity, we help customers move data between machines, PLCs, networks and enterprise systems with minimal effort and no surprises.Every customer gets direct access to our Enginerd support team, fast shipping on in-stock products and solutions that work out of the box. That combination is why so many manufacturers and machine builders standardize on RTA for their connectivity needs.RTA works closely with the organizations and technology partners shaping industrial communication. See how these relationships help us build better, more interoperable solutions. Explore our technology & industry partners.RTA’s engineering team includes experts in industrial networking, embedded communications and protocol stack development. With hands-on experience across Allen-Bradley and Siemens PLCs, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, BACnet and other industrial protocols, we understand how real manufacturing systems actually communicate, not just how they look on paper.
