                Make Cumulocity IoT your edge
            

                Be at the edge—not on it
            

Why do you need an IoT edge platform for your industrial assets? When you have sensors and devices in places with limited connectivity, produce too much data to send to the cloud cost-effectively, or need millisecond response times from analytics, edge solutions are the answer. Take the “edge off” with the Cumulocity IoT edge platform for low-code/no-code management of industrial edge assets. Build it once, deploy it anywhere. Whether you choose thick edge or thin edge, we help you combine edge computing with cloud and bring your IoT architecture to the next level, enabling you to succeed in your IoT projects.

Here's what you can do with an edge computing platform and Cumulocity IoT:  

                Deliver ultra-fast analytics
            

With IoT edge analytics, process data close to the source for faster results that trigger an immediate response.​

                Deploy IoT in new places
            

Use IoT edge computing when there’s limited network connectivity and you need to process data from many devices.​

                Cut infrastructure costs
            

Not all data needs to go to the cloud. Processing data locally can reduce bandwidth costs while boosting IoT security.

                    Push the boundaries with thin edge
                

Learn how IoT at the edge brings new opportunities to connect every "thing"—devices, products, machines and other assets—so you can increase uptime, improve response time, save bandwidth and reduce costs.

 

                Simplify IoT with an edge computing leader
            

Software AG is a leading IoT edge vendor with a top score in edge data processing and architecture & usability in MachNation’s in-depth analysis of 12 IoT edge vendors. Read the report. Here’s what you can expect from our IoT edge computing solution:

                    Everything you love in the cloud at the edge
                

Run your IoT at the edge with all the features of Cumulocity IoT in the cloud. That means you’ll have access to ready-to-use cockpit apps, code-free device management, self-service analytics and machine learning to train your models as well as cost-efficient data storage.

                    Easy to install, easy to manage
                

No IT expertise required! You can install and configure Cumulocity IoT easily in your local area network. Manage all edge installations centrally. Need to connect to Cumulocity IoT in the cloud? We make it easy to manage a hybrid configuration with both edge and cloud connectivity. 

                    Store only the data you need
                

Use industry-standard protocols such as MODBUS®, CANbus and OPC UA to connect to devices and sensors. Process and analyze data collected locally and filter it on an edge computing platform, so you only send what you need to the cloud.

                    Thin edge or thick: best of both worlds
                

You can choose to run thick edge with local compute nodes, or thin edge with resource-constrained edge devices. When you choose our enterprise-grade thin edge, you gain robust device management, high performance on embedded devices, security by design, and out-of-the-box connectivity—get started with just a few steps.​

                    IoT at the Edge: Moving towards an Equipment-as-a-Service business model
                

Many commercial and industrial product manufacturers see the benefits of IoT-enabled services—and yet transitioning from a business model based on product sales to one focused on EaaS (Equipment-as-a-Service) can be a challenge.

Beecham Research shares unique insights into the significance of IoT edge computing based on expert interviews, user survey data and its analysis of key market trends. Use these findings about the IoT edge continuum to make your transition to an EaaS revenue model far easier and faster.
