# Cybus Connectware Documentation

Cybus Connectware is the **Industrial Edge and Data Orchestration Platform** for factories and production environments. It enables secure, scalable, and centralized access to machine, sensor, and system data — from any protocol to any application.

With Connectware, manufacturers and system integrators can build **future-ready Industry 4.0 infrastructures**, reduce integration costs, and retain full control over their data.
