Our Heritage · 1996–2026
Software Toolbox was founded in 1996 to solve one problem well: getting reliable data out of industrial devices and into the systems that need it. Three decades later, that same focus on connectivity is the foundation for everything we build.
We have been part of the OPC Foundation for 30 years, helped engineers move from OPC Classic to OPC UA, and grown TOP Server and OmniServer into connectivity trusted by thousands of companies. Along the way, we added data platforms like Cogent DataHub, OPC Router, and N3uron, and now industrial AI with jonjon.ai and chatUNS.ai.
What has not changed is how we work: engineers who answer the phone, stay with a problem until it is solved, and earn customers who come back year after year.
Software Toolbox is a full-stack Industrial AI company that helps companies deploy industrial connectivity, data platforms, cloud, and AI Agents that improve performance and throughput, manage uptime/downtime, improve quality, safety, and compliance, and accelerate time to insight and decision-making.
Industrial environments remain one of the largest untapped opportunities in AI, not because the value is uncertain, but because success requires the right foundation: trusted connectivity, real-time data, and context-rich platforms that can operate reliably at the factory and at the edge.
We deliver that foundation through best-in-class industrial connectivity and real-time data infrastructure, including TOP Server, OPC Router, and OmniServer, paired with leading-edge data platforms such as N3uron and Cogent DataHub. Together, these capabilities help customers contextualize industrial data, build a real-time unified namespace, and move information efficiently and securely using technologies like MQTT to enterprise environments and the cloud, so AI is fueled by high-integrity, operationally meaningful data.
Software Toolbox serves leading organizations across major process industries, including oil and gas, chemicals, and power generation, as well as hybrid industries such as automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and consumer packaged goods. We lead with deep expertise in infrastructure domains like data centers, water/wastewater, and buildings, backed by industry-leading customer support and customer satisfaction.
Our customers consistently rate their interactions with Software Toolbox as "Awesome" or "Excellent."
