ADLINK Edge™
Makes AI and IoT Simple

Here’s how ADLINK Edge™ works:

ADLINK Edge™ software is built upon the ADLINK Data River™ which simplifies complex data network programming and enables data to flow freely but securely northbound or southbound, to any cloud analytic platform database and even east to west between devices, databases and the cloud. Data flows freely yet securely within the ADLINK Data River™ maintaining one version of the truth.

ADLINK Edge™ delivers the right data, to the right place, at the right time, enabling the right decision and the right action.

1. 

   1. Connect the Unconnected

   ADLINK Edge™ connects OT assets by tapping into native communication protocols easily to generate and capture machine and vision data from any asset via sensors, edge devices and vision systems. No programming necessary.

2. 

   2. Process and Evaluate

    ADLINK Edge™ supports world leading AI platforms and engines to allow data to be processed before evaluation in rule or machine learning based analytics to create information from raw data. You just need to plug-in your AI model.

3. 

   3. Stream & Act Anywhere

   ADLINK Edge™ uses peer-to-peer data sharing technology to securely move data. Once connected, the raw data or inferenced information can move freely to any cloud, analytic platform, database, or even between devices. Connect once and stream to any person, place, or thing. This releases the potential of operational data to empower intelligent decision-making and to automate action informed by AI.

4. 

   4. Control the Edge

   ADLINK Edge™ bridges IT and OT with a set of integrated apps for end-point monitoring, device management, visualization, analytics, and security which creates intelligent devices that can react to change and the world around them.

5. 

   5. Extend and Evolve

   ADLINK Edge™ is pre-installed on ADLINK hardware and can also run on hardware from other vendors. ADLINK Edge™ offers a fully supported, vendor-neutral, multi-platform ecosystem to meet the requirements of IoT deployments. It also comes with an open SDK enabling solution builders to create apps to take advantage of the existing ADLINK Edge™ tools and best practice. As AIOT systems evolve and more data endpoints are added, ADLINK Edge™ supports this with its modular approach which future-proofs deployed systems by enabling full scalability.
