RyEdge is a containerized architecture designed for local data processing directly at the machine, enabling fast and reliable execution close to the source. The Edge Layer acts as the brain next to the PLC, understanding what is happening, deciding what matters, and enabling smarter control without touching the core logic. Supporting common industrial protocols like OPC UA and MQTT it seamlessly connects machines across heterogeneous environments. Acting as an IIoT-to-IT bridge, RyEdge transforms raw machine data into structured, actionable information for higher-level systems. With its scalable use case foundation, RyEdge supports everything from simple data collection to complex edge analytics and digital services. As an ecosystem enabler on the machine, it lays the groundwork for flexible, modular, and future-proof edge solutions in modern production lines.
