SeQent announced the acquisition of Open Automation Software (OAS), an industrial data connectivity company that moves data between controllers, databases, and cloud services regardless of vendor.
What Each Side Brings
SeQent's platform ingests alarms and events from SCADA, MES, and PLC systems, then delivers notifications to two-way radios, smartphones, displays, and PA systems. It handles the response side of the equation — getting the right alarm to the right person.
OAS operates a layer below that. It adds native drivers for Allen-Bradley and Siemens controllers, Modbus devices, and OPC servers, along with store-and-forward buffering across machines, lines, and sites and high-speed logging into customer-owned databases.
The Connector at the Core
The OAS Platform includes the Universal Data Connector, which moves data from anywhere to anywhere. That matters for plants running mixed fleets of equipment, where a single vendor's stack was never an option. OAS is built for that environment, and SeQent's platform spans connectivity, aggregation, and response — covering everything between a signal on the plant floor and the person who resolves it.
The combined portfolio eliminates the handoff between vendors in the middle of that path: connectivity and historization from OAS, routing and response from SeQent.
Who Already Uses Both
Both SeQent and OAS count Fortune Global 500 manufacturers among their customers. SeQent's platform is used in industries such as automotive, data centers, pharmaceuticals, and consumer packaged goods — sectors where alarm delivery and data integrity are operational requirements, not conveniences.
