Automate manual IT tasks and reduce IT costs and risks for your production setup with Industrial Edge.
Industrial Edge is an open, ready-to-use edge computing platform consisting of edge devices, edge apps, edge connectivity and an application and device management infrastructure. It makes it easier to collect and analyze data, enables a faster, more reliable rollout of apps and provides central management with maximum scalability. You determine what data stays local and what can be used with a cloud solution.
Thanks to the ready-to-use platform that includes connectivity, automation of manual tasks and centralized administration, you can substantially reduce your IT costs during both development and operation.
Centralized management lets you ensure maximum cybersecurity at all times, implement individual security guidelines, and benefit from the latest software. You can even structure the necessary software updates in stages.
Respond faster to requirements from the shop floor by developing the right applications with quick availability. Take advantage of a broad selection of existing apps and microservices to improve productivity.
Industrial Edge Management serves as the central infrastructure for Industrial Edge. It offers convenient, centralized management of industrial edge apps and devices, saving maintenance and application rollout effort across machines, lines and production sites.
Main functions of the Industrial Edge Management:
IEM includes access to free apps for basic data management:
Based on the Docker IT standard, you can run your own applications scalably on the Industrial Edge platform. Docker-based container virtualization offers many benefits, including the ability to isolate applications in addition to easily using and scaling them.
You can use any high-level language like Python, Node.js, Java, and C++ – as well as our Mendix low-code development environment in the future – to develop new Edge apps, virtualize them as Docker images, and run them scalably on many different Edge devices.
In addition to your own Edge apps or those from partner entities, you can also use data from your machines right away with Industrial Edge apps, with no need to do your own programming. The selection includes apps for data collection, processing, visualization, and analysis, so you can implement applications like condition monitoring, energy management and performance optimization.
