The Edge Controller
Collect machine data and add the processing or logic your installation requires. The Edge Controller combines industrial connections with space for custom software and bespoke integrations.
Our routers also support remote access, data logging, and monitoring. Choose an Edge Controller if you also want to deploy local processing, custom applications, or control logic. Our team will help you determine what fits your application.
For your existing installation and new projects
Are you a machine builder, facility manager, or system integrator? Use the Edge Controller as the foundation for a solution that aligns with your equipment and data requirements. Think of custom data links, local processing, or an application with digital and analog I/O.
We also work together to see which setup fits for building management and water management. Present your application to our team.
Edge properties
The Edge Controller is specifically designed for industrial use.
It is a durable, reliable, and robust IoT gateway.
- Node-RED, Node.js, Python, CODESYS, OpenPLC and Docker are options for custom software and local processing. Node-RED is a development tool, Node.js a runtime, Python a programming language, CODESYS and OpenPLC are control environments, and Docker provides container support. We agree versions, drivers, resource requirements and any licences for your application; not everything is preinstalled. Node-RED · OpenPLC
