Container-based flexible OT/IT integration solution built on OPC UA with MQTT connectivity to IoT solutions
Softing edgeAggregator is a containerized OPC UA Aggregation ServerOPC UA Server and MQTT Publisher/Subscriber functionality. The software can run as IoT Edge Module. After the deployment, it is possible to configure Southbound and Northbound communication via local GUI or REST interface.
edgeAggregator provides a powerful OPC UA data integration layer combined with a modern Docker based IoT edge solution. Users implement flexible solutions with the OPC UA aggregation server that combine the various OPC UA servers of the automation level with their associated address spaces and make the data available to the IT applications via a consistent OPC UA interface. The interface abstraction of edgeAggregator enables continuous adaptation and scaling of IoT solutions based on OPC UA and MQTT throughout the entire lifecycle. Users thus gain a high degree of flexibility while significantly reducing integration and configuration costs. edgeAggregator covers the full range of OPC UA and MQTT security functions and allows the implementation of a state-of-the-art security solution. As a Docker container, it offers flexible deployment options, such as on devices running Azure IoT Edge or AWS IoT Greengrass.
The application can be easily configured locally via an integrated web.
The container runs for 72h in demo mode. Fully activate the application via BYOL from Softing. This also requires the installation of the Softing floating license server.
