The challenge

Fragmented hardware creates fragmented operations

Industrial environments rarely rely on a single hardware manufacturer. An organization might use fixed RFID readers at dock doors, handheld scanners in the warehouse and IoT environmental sensors on the production floor, all supplied by different vendors.

Traditionally, each vendor provides its own proprietary software. As the deployment scales, IT and operations teams are forced to manage multiple platforms, navigate different user interfaces and build custom integrations for every new device type.

How Edge360 works

A unified operating layer for connected devices

Edge360 sits between the physical hardware and the central business systems, acting as a translator, manager and integration point.

Instead of logging into five different tools to manage five different hardware deployments, operations teams and IT administrators work from one console.

One console across every vendor and site.
In the console

What teams do from a single environment

01

Monitor health

Track device health and status across every location from one view.

02

Standardize data

Normalize data formats before information reaches ERP, WMS or MES platforms.

03

Deploy updates

Push configuration changes and updates from a central console.

04

Reduce complexity

Onboard new hardware vendors without rebuilding the software layer.

Key benefits

Reducing the friction of multi-vendor environments

01

Hardware independence

Add or change device vendors without having to rebuild the software layer or re-train users.

02

Faster deployment

Standardized integration capabilities reduce the time required to stand up new locations.

03

Consistent data

Data flowing into backend systems follows a predictable format, regardless of which device captured it.

04

Simplified IT management

Give the support desk one platform to monitor the health of the entire device fleet.

Use cases

Practical applications for a unified platform

Edge360 is built to solve real problems in complex, mixed-technology environments.

01

Supply chain visibility

Tracking assets as they move between sites that may use different localized tracking technologies.

02

Enterprise standardization

Letting individual facilities choose the hardware that fits their physical environment while maintaining one software standard across the enterprise.

03

M&A integration

Bringing newly acquired facilities online without immediately ripping out and replacing their existing data-capture hardware.
