Industrial IoT Starter Kit

Data Acquisition and Edge Computing for Cloud-based Manufacturing IoT

Softing Industrial Data Intelligence Industrial IoT Starter Kit

Use the Industrial IoT Starter Kit as starting point for your journey towards manufacturing IoT. The pre-installed dataFEED OPC Suite provides access to process- and machine data in PLCs from leading manufacturers such as Siemens SIMATIC S7, Rockwell ControlLogix, B&R, and Mitsubishi.

Support for AWS Greengrass and Azure IoT Edge allows for the deployment of workloads via the respective cloud platform. Initial efforts to set up a first manufacturing IoT solution are minimized, while open standards such as OPC UA protect investments and offer full flexibility for future extensions.
