IoT & Edge Computing

Perfectly Use Data in the Field

Intelligent processes are requiring more and more computing power, placing corresponding demands on databases directly in the field. WAGO offers the right hardware for any edge application.

When real-time data is involved, data processing has become increasingly important. More and more computing power is needed, placing corresponding demands on databases, as well as analysis and optimization algorithms, directly in the field. WAGO offers the Edge Controller and Edge Computer as solutions. These devices process applications right on the machine, offloading the controllers so they can focus on their actual control duties with low latency and a high level of determinism.

Easy Cloud Connection

Transferring data from machines and plants directly into a cloud solution is often too resource-intensive and cannot be implemented due to the short latency times required in the industrial environment. Edge computing has established itself as a concept that combines the advantages of decentralized cloud architectures with those of a local network architecture.

Collected data can be evaluated directly on the Edge Devices, displayed graphically, and made available to WAGO Cloud, for example. Transfer may be appropriate for especially critical data, for instance. Both new devices have additional advantages when data needs to be temporarily buffered, for instance, in mobile applications. They are based on cabinet-compatible hardware and can be powered with 24 V, making them a perfect fit for the automation environment.
