Edge Devices

Introduction

Our Edge Devices provide remote access capabilities and the ability to run applications directly on the shop floor, connected to a machine. They have been engineered for optimum performance in critical environments. They are hardened for security, based on an Ubuntu Linux runtime environment, and include firewall software that restricts traffic to and from the local network.
