ADLINK Edge IoT software

The ADLINK Edge IoT solution is designed to enable industry to gain business value from deploying IoT technology in a variety of diverse use cases. The software can quickly and securely connect, stream and control operational data — whatever industrial equipment, systems, databases or cloud platforms are already used. Using that data, the end-to-end industrial IoT solution enables rapid, real-time intelligent decision-making empowered by AI, analytics tools and machine learning.

With no programming necessary, ADLINK can quickly connect previously unconnected operational equipment, sensors and devices. Then, by tapping into native communication protocols, data can be captured and streamed at the edge. This data can then be streamed securely between devices, databases and to the cloud, enabling analysis and easy visualisation to inform decisions and optimise operations in real time.

ADLINK Edge is deployed via the company’s Digital Experiments methodology, which can include hardware, software and support elements for easy integration with any existing IT and OT system. This provides a secure approach to validate business value from IoT and define a roadmap before investing resources in a full-scale implementation. Users are also able to benefit from IoT expertise within ADLINK’s partner ecosystem.

ADLINK Edge is built on the ADLINK Data River, designed to simplify complex data network programming and enable data to flow freely but securely northbound or southbound, to any cloud analytic platform database and even east to west between devices, databases and the cloud.

The product also includes the ADLINK Marketplace, containing apps that enable third-party services to translate between devices and applications or devices and peer devices. Using these apps, IoT Architects are free to implement technologies appropriate to solve the particular business problem they face. The ADLINK Profile Builder tool meanwhile helps users configure and deploy all the apps to communicate with endpoints, devices or applications deployed across a user’s ecosystem.
