FBxEdge™ Industrial Edge Gateway for SCADA Integration, Edge Computing, and OT Cybersecurity

FBxEdge™ Industrial Edge Gateway for SCADA Integration, Edge Computing, and OT Cybersecurity

For safe, reliable, and efficient manufacturing operations, operators and maintenance personnel must have constant, clear visibility into ongoing activities—even in remote locations. Achieving this requires an advanced automation platform that reliably provides and efficiently delivers data, while also minimizing cybersecurity risks.

FBxEdge enhances the digitization of field sensors and control systems by delivering high-resolution data in a format ideal for data scientists and engineers—without introducing latency to your existing SCADA system.
Challenges in Modern Industrial Systems

Challenges in Modern Industrial Systems

  • Manage dozens or more different RTUs, Flow Computers, and PLCs, ensuring protocol diversity
  • Lack standardized functionality across sites, leading to data gaps
  • Require more data from their devices to bridge critical data gaps
  • Need better cloud connectivity with databases or the cloud
  • Lack support for IIoT protocols, emphasizing the need for protocol diversity
  • Have networks nearing capacity, affecting cloud connectivity 
  • Need to enhance reliability beyond simple threshold checking to reduce data gaps
Edge computing involves processing data near its source, allowing for faster and higher-volume processing, which results in more immediate, action-oriented outcomes. This approach offers distinct benefits compared to traditional models, where computing power is centralized in on-premise data centers.

Edge Applications: Data Buffering, Telemetry Analytics, and Data Visualization

USE CASE 1
Your data science team requires more data than what SCADA systems can provide
Deploying an FBxEdge Gateway alongside your existing infrastructure allows you to send data to a destination suitable for data scientists or engineers. While your SCADA system is ‘stretched’ to obtain that data, it often falls short in terms of quantity and granularity.
USE CASE 2
You require flexible connectivity to drive business results effectively
An FBxEdge Gateway can be integrated with your existing infrastructure. With access to over 200 unique communication protocols, it connects to a wide range of PLCs and RTUs. Additionally, its open-source architecture enables users to utilize the right tools to achieve business results.
USE CASE 3
You need to visualize and analyze your process data to identify solutions and make more informed decisions
An FBxEdge Gateway allows for the use of open source visualization tools, like Grafana, to allow engineers, data scientists and production operators to analyze and make decisions based on the data collected at the edge.
USE CASE 4
You need to set up and manage Edge devices across numerous sites with similar applications.
An FBxEdge Gateway is available for purchase with FBxManager, software that supports the bulk deployment of edge assets. This innovative tool ensures the rapid and efficient implementation of the FBxEdge, minimizing the engineering time needed for each installed device.
