A system for processing data in an industrial environment includes a sensor that communicates sensor data acquired from a factory floor as a multicast data stream where each frame is tagged with a sequence identifier indicative of a position of that frame in the data stream. A network switch distributes the data stream to a group of multicast endpoints. The system includes a controller with a plurality of modularly connected processing units. Each processing unit is further connected to the network switch and configured as a respective endpoint of the group of multicast endpoints. Each processing unit selectively processes frames of the data stream in dependence of the sequence identifier of individual frames by executing a data processing module, to produce an output result associated with each processed frame. The controller assembles the output result and the sequence identifier of each processed frame from the plurality of processing units.
