Industrial IoT Starter Kit

Data Acquisition and Edge Computing for Cloud-based Manufacturing IoT

Softing Industrial Data Intelligence Industrial IoT Starter Kit

 

  • Shop Floor Connectivity for Brownfield and Greenfield Integration Projects
  • Support for Amazon AWS IoT Greengrass and Microsoft Azure IoT Edge

 

  • Flexible and Secure Solution, Based on Open Standards

 

Use the Industrial IoT Starter Kit as an easy introduction to improved Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and Manufacturing Analytics on a cloud basis. With the pre-installed dataFEED OPC Suite, existing systems from different manufacturers can be easily and securely integrated. Simple OT/IT integration is made possible by the use of several established industry standards.

Flexible Docker applications allow the effortless implementation of Microsoft Azure applications, e.g. with Azure IoT Hub, Azure IoT Edge, Azure IoT Central or Azure IoT Connected Factory. Industrial IoT Starter Kit is Azure certified.
