AggreGate Edge

AggreGate Edge is a fully-functional version of AggreGate IoT Platform optimized for controllers and embedded devices. It allows you to create and run low latency, reliable IoT solutions with no need to send all IoT data to the cloud for processing and analysis. AggreGate Edge also helps to ensure compliance with local data protection and regulatory requirements.

AggreGate Edge brings the power of AggreGate IoT Platform down to physical assets. It includes a complete set of field bus drivers for industrial automation and building management systems. Data processing and analytics on controllers are simple with an embedded business rules engine, complex event processing, and machine learning modules. User Interface Builder simplifies data visualization on any device from smartphones to industrial panels.

AggreGate Edge in the Digital World

AggreGate Edge

Use Cases

Predictive Maintenance

Predictive Maintenance

Collect the sensor data from industrial machines, such as turbines or motors. Route all data to a cloud-based AggreGate instance for further pattern analysis and anomaly detection.

Smart Home

Smart Home

Build a smart home around a controller with installed AggreGate Edge by connecting all appliances via various wired and wireless channels. Develop and test the web-based and mobile-friendly HMIs embedded into the box.

Industrial Automation

Industrial Automation

Control and monitor processes by using the PLC logic standards: Functional Block Diagram (FBD), Structured Text (ST), Ladder Diagram (LD), and Sequential Function Chart (SFC).

Building Automation

Building Automation

Supervise the intelligent building systems, including HVAC, lighting, energy, fire safety, physical security, and more.

CNC Monitoring

CNC Monitoring

Track the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and perform the in-depth analysis of your machines by using controller as a data acquisition gateway.

Telecom Tower Monitoring

Telecom Tower Monitoring

Enable centralized monitoring and control for the fuel, energy, climate, perimeter security, and BTS equipment.

Smart Metering

Smart Metering

Connect any non-IP meters and sensors to a cloud-based automatic meter reading system. Be sure that the data is buffered while the centralized storage is not available due to network issues.

Genset Monitoring

Genset Monitoring

Connect Gensets that don't have anything beside the dry contacts. Track the fuel levels, oil pressure, water/oil temperature, power output, active alarms, maintenance status, and more.

Battery Monitoring

Battery Monitoring

Check the health of non-IP UPS units and battery packs by tracking the bypass mode state, voltages, currents, frequencies, remaining battery, load percentages, temperature, and other metrics.

Physical Security

Physical Security

Combine your controller or IIoT gateway with a physical access controller or custom security device by connecting various readers, locks and sensors. The access control logic is already there.

Sensor Network Gateway

Sensor Network Gateway

Connect your wired or wireless field sensors and bridge data to the cloud. Design the local maps, add some weather information, and more.

Mobile Asset Tracking

Mobile Asset Tracking

Collect the telemetry data from any moving assets, such as vehicles or containers. Centralize the processing and analytics in the cloud.

With out-of-the-box support for 20+ IoT and IT communication protocols, your controller with AggreGate Edge will be a universal “plug-and-play” component for many use cases. AggreGate Edge can use specific field buses of controllers as DALI, KNX, etc.

AggreGate Edge provides APIs for direct integration with third-party software or Cloud platforms. AggreGate Edge can interact with controller vendor’s software by MQTT, REST protocols and get access to specific or proprietary vendor's drivers. All external control operations fully abide by the platform’s security model.

Your controller with AggreGate Edge can store IoT events, historical values, enriched data for periods when the connection to the Cloud is lost. In an autonomous operation scenario, your controller with AggreGate Edge can store months of historical values between scheduled data exchange sessions with a central AggreGate Server.

One IoT gateway with AggreGate Edge can monitor and control hundreds of devices. AggreGate Edge device management capabilities include automatic discovery and provisioning, offline device management, group and batch operations, flexible event management, advanced alerting, job scheduling, etc. In case of poor or unstable connection to the Cloud, a controller with AggreGate Edge can act as a stand-alone control unit.

AggreGate Edge brings all advanced analytics capabilities close to devices and sensors. Object and process models, domain-specific languages, visual workflows, and machine learning algorithms – all those tools create business value from your data and simplify local decision-making on a controller with AggreGate Edge.

AggreGate Edge uses full power of visualization tools of AggreGate IoT Platform directly on controllers. You are able to create UI interfaces locally or deploy from the Cloud and run them on any device from smartphones to industrial panels.

Want to extend AggreGate Edge capabilities? You can use programmatic extension points and APIs to develop a new device driver or data processing plugin, UI component or even a full-scale embedded IoT application. A new Flexible Driver module allows building drivers for proprietary protocols without programming.

AggreGate Edge Architecture

AggreGate Edge's flexible modular architecture allows you to disable unused plugins to fit hardware resources of your controllers.
