Opto 22
US manufacturer of edge programmable industrial controllers, edge I/O and solid state relays for automation, IIoT and remote monitoring.
Opto 22 is an American manufacturer of hardware and software for industrial automation, process control, remote operations monitoring and data acquisition, founded in 1974 and headquartered in Temecula, California, where all of its products are designed, manufactured and supported. The company is best known for the groov EPIC system, marketed as the first edge programmable industrial controller, which combines a Linux-based real-time control engine, built-in cybersecurity, gateway functions and IIoT connectivity in a single platform to simplify process control, SCADA and remote monitoring. Its broader portfolio includes groov RIO edge I/O modules for distributed data acquisition and connectivity, SNAP PAC programmable automation controllers and I/O systems, and a long-established line of solid state relays (SSRs) and signal conditioning products.
Opto 22 hardware exposes open standards and protocols such as MQTT with Sparkplug, OPC UA, RESTful APIs, Modbus/TCP and Node-RED, enabling direct, secure communication between field devices, on-premises systems and cloud platforms without dedicated middleware. The company emphasizes openness and longevity, offering a guarantee on many of its components and free product support, and serves applications in manufacturing, energy, water and wastewater, oil and gas, and building and facility automation. By integrating control, networking and edge computing in industrial-grade devices, Opto 22 provides the deterministic control and connectivity backbone used in automation cells, robotic work cells and machine integration projects, allowing engineers to bridge operational technology with modern data and IIoT infrastructure.
