Optimal Data Utilization with Edge Computing

Edge devices process applications right on the machine, offloading them from controllers so they can focus on their actual control duties with low latency and a high level of determinism.

Data transfer from machines and systems directly to a cloud solution is often too resource-intensive, and the low latency required in industrial environments makes it infeasible. Edge computing combines the advantages of decentralized cloud architectures with those of a local network architecture and has become an established approach.

The data collected from machines and systems can be evaluated directly on the edge devices, displayed graphically and made available to a cloud. These devices ensure optimal transfer for particularly critical data and offer an additional option for flexible system design in complex applications.

The Right Edge Device for Your Application

The broad portfolio of industrial PCs offers you maximum performance and flexibility in different applications. Whether in mechanical engineering, the energy industry, the process industry or the marine sector — WAGO offers the right hardware for every edge application..

Overview of Benefits

Easy Cloud Connection

The collected data can be evaluated directly and displayed graphically. Transfer may be appropriate for especially critical data, for instance.

Equipped for High Security

A TPM 2.0 chip allows an encryption mechanism to be used. Besides the standard VPN applications, the devices are open for special security solutions such as Tosibox and Hooc.

Pre-Installed Debian Linux

Our Edge Computers come with pre-installed Debian Linux for straightforward commissioning. You benefit from quick and easy integration into your application.

Optimal Performance in Tight Spaces

Maximum computing power and performance in a compact form: WAGO Edge Computers offer impressive performance with minimal space requirements and are easy to mount on DIN-rails.

Deploy Docker^® Containers Quickly and Easily

Container virtualization with Docker^® makes it possible to isolate applications from local infrastructure, enabling faster, simpler, and more secure software deployment. How can you leverage Docker^® benefits even more easily with Edge Computing?

In this video, Jonathan Malessa, Team Lead OPC Router at inray, and Michael Drost, WAGO Industrial Systems Consultant, demonstrate the process: They run the WAGO PFC200 Controller together with the OPC Router as Docker^® containers on a single WAGO Edge Computer. Instead of installing the OPC Router on a dedicated server in the network, it is simply deployed as a Docker^® container on the Edge Computer and is ready to run immediately.

The advantages are clear: Hardware costs are eliminated, and installation, maintenance, updates, and security assurance are greatly simplified. Check it out!

Perfect for Your Application

Marine and Onshore/Offshore Automation

Use in these areas requires assessment and qualification by independent classification societies (e.g., ABS, GL, LR). More than half of the 20 tests administered relate to EMC. The results achieved from these tests permit operation on marine diesel engines exposed to vibrations and in the EMC-sensitive area of a vessel’s bridge (compass approval). Of course, these properties also mean they can be used in other industries at no additional cost.
