Edge Computing
Tailor-made OT interconnection solutions and IIoT systems
Custom-developed Edge Computing systems using the most established technologies
In today’s increasingly connected world, data processing and control system management have become critical challenges for many industries. Therefore, Edge Computing technology is becoming increasingly important for optimising real-time data collection, processing, and distribution.
The Edge Computing systems for OT (Operational Technology) that we propose are IIoT solutions custom-developed using globally established technologies and designed according to international industry standards, such as IEC 62443 for industrial cyber security. This type of tailor-made Edge Computing offer provides a high-performance and reliable solution for every business need, guaranteeing full integration at the OT/IT level.
By collecting OT data from your automation systems, these Edge Computing systems help to optimally plan and manage all machine maintenance, processing, handling, and material requirements. By harnessing the full potential of IoT communication gateways, these solutions collect, process, and deliver a whole range of production and plant-related data in real-time to provide OEMs and End-Users with a comprehensive and detailed overview of the status of their machinery and/or production.

Customisable
IIoT gateways
The solutions we provide are always tailor-made, and developed by integrating different innovative technologies.
This is why we offer a choice between Bosch Rexroth® hardware or a 100% custom hardware solution developed with Intel® or Raspberry Pi. In both cases, the IIoT solution will be highly tailored to meet your specific project requirements, offering unparalleled freedom and flexibility in the world of industrial automation.
All the hardware solutions we offer have established themselves globally as open technologies. Each of them offers considerable levels of customisation and has different technical features.
If you want a fully integrated system, tailored to your project specifications, we have two options for you: an open-architecture IIoT gateway powered by Intel® technology, ideal for handling a wide range of data and applications efficiently, or a fully customised hardware developed on a Raspberry Pi basis.
Alternatively, if you opt for openness but with a more traditional approach, Bosch Rexroth® hardware based on the latest CtrlX CORE platform is the ideal solution. This IIoT gateway offers an open architecture and is a reliable choice for the most demanding industrial applications.
Intel® UP board
Our open IIoT solution, custom-developed using Intel technology with Celeron®, Pentium®, and Atom® processors
ctrlX CORE
Next-generation IoT gateways developed by Bosch Rexroth on an open architecture with Linux operating system
Raspberry Pi
Freedom and flexibility: these are the characteristics of our IoT gateways based on Raspberry Pi industrial grade hardware
Configurability
Custom system development using globally recognised technologies; choose from various hardware configurations like IIoT gateways.
Responsive WEB GUI interface with status and control dashboards, co-designed and tailored to meet your specific system requirements.
Configurable alarm generation logic with email, SMS, and notification alerts.
Possible ON-PREMISES installation: Backend and Frontend locally installed on the IIoT gateway connected to the company LAN.
Possible CLOUD installation: IIoT gateways acquire data to send to the cloud-based system (e.g., AWS), accessible via the web from any location and device.
Localisation features: translation management for multilingual WEB GUI; regional settings management (date format, measurement units, etc.)
Interconnection
Usage of the most common communication protocols: MQTT, OPC-UA, MODBUS, ETHERCAT, TCP/IP, RestAPI.
Additional interfaces with the field and with the main control system through I/O.
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth channels.
Secure interconnections from cloud-level data centres via Web Services.
5G Technology.
Scalability
Flexible Edge Computing Architecture, ideal for machines and modular structures, ready to swiftly adapt to market and manufacturing changes.
Ability to seamlessly integrate vertical solutions into the company’s production processes.
- Possibility of making any changes to the system on request.
Security
The OT security level is further increased by keeping the data in the field, where it is produced and used.
User management on a local level with name, ID, qualification, credentials, grouping criteria, and role.
Enterprise-wide user management by interfacing with higher management systems.
Configurability of user privileges and actions allowed to each user or user group.
Protection of data integrity by blocking unauthorised changes and access.
Tracking and archiving of changes made by users.
Speed
By bringing data processing and storage closer to the data creation environments, the amount and timing of information transfer are reduced. This ensures reduced latency times, faster insights and actions, and rapid detection of anomalies and malfunctions.
Decentralisation
Performing processing to maximise efficiency, increase response speed, and lighten the load on higher-level systems:
Better control of machine status even in the field.
- Operational continuity and increased resilience in the event of an offline.
Extreme modularity for maximum flexibility of operations and interoperability between systems.
Edge Computing & IIoT
Tailor-made data acquisition and OT interconnection solutions
Our solutions are consistently tailored to meet the unique needs of businesses. We don’t believe in a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, as we understand that each company possesses its own distinctive production intricacies that define its individuality.
If you're looking to bring innovation to your company while preserving your established production methods, we're here to assist you
Thanks to our vast experience in the automation field, we apply skills developed within different industries to carefully study the most suitable tailor-made solution for you. Eureka System starts from a solid Automation foundation to manage Machine-to-Machine communications and multi-level interfacing (PLCs; Cloud platforms and services; MES/MOM production management systems; ERP).
First, we will take an in-depth look at your production processes, from the Automation to the Management level, to fully understand your operations dynamics and create a tailor-made solution that integrates seamlessly with your existing workflows, methods and technologies.
