AboutRTA - Real Time Automation, Inc.
It’s likely that your business isn’t industrial networking, and it shouldn’t be. You make products, design systems, or manage processes. Whatever it is that you make, monitor or install, it inevitably creates data.
Whether you’re a control engineer with a line littered with devices sending out all kinds of data over many different protocols, or an automation device developer with customers needing to move data into some other network, you’ve got a device conversion problem.
You have devices that generate ASCII, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, BACnet, Profinet, Profibus, Ethernet TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, DeviceNet or some other completely proprietary data, and now you’re the person who must move that data!
We understand your pain…and rather than just our sympathy, we have solutions. While your business may not be moving data around factory floors, ours is. Our gateways are simple, perfect tools to help you move your data where, when, and how you want.

On Wisconsin!
RTA is in Pewaukee, 30 miles west of Milwaukee. We wear green and gold to church on Sundays, consider beer and cheese a balanced diet, and consider 40°F warm outside, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
RTA products are made with American parts and assembled right here in the Badger State.
