FactoryTalk Edge Gateway Integrations

Managed service for bidirectional communication between IoT devices and Azure. Enable highly secure and reliable communication between your Internet of Things (IoT) application and the devices it manages. Azure IoT Hub provides a cloud-hosted solution back end to connect virtually any device. Extend your solution from the cloud to the edge with per-device authentication, built-in device management, and scaled provisioning. Use device-to-cloud telemetry data to understand the state of your devices and define message routes to other Azure services—without writing any code. In cloud-to-device messages, reliably send commands and notifications to your connected devices and track message delivery with acknowledgement receipts. Automatically resend device messages as needed to accommodate intermittent connectivity. Azure IoT Central: Proof of concept isn’t your endgame. We’ll help you build industry-leading solutions with a hosted IoT application platform.

Industrial software designed to help you reach your manufacturing operations goals. FactoryTalk® software is built for supporting an ecosystem of advanced industrial applications, including IoT. It all starts at the edge where manufacturing happens and scales from on-premise to cloud. Imagine supercharging your industrial environment with software that offers cutting edge design, maximizes operational efficiencies, and delivers predictive and augmented maintenance advantages. From process to batch to discrete applications, your most complex challenges are solved with the combination of award-winning Rockwell Automation software, hardware, and services.

InfluxDB is a purpose-built data platform designed to handle all time series data, from users, sensors, applications and infrastructure — seamlessly collecting, storing, visualizing, and turning insight into action. With a library of more than 250 open source Telegraf plugins, importing and monitoring data from any system is easy. InfluxDB empowers developers to build transformative IoT, monitoring and analytics services and applications. InfluxDB’s flexible architecture fits any implementation — whether in the cloud, at the edge or on-premises — and its versatility, accessibility and supporting tools (client libraries, APIs, etc.) make it easy for developers at any level to quickly build applications and services with time series data. Optimized for developer efficiency and productivity, the InfluxDB platform gives builders time to focus on the features and functionalities that give their internal projects value and their applications a competitive edge.

Part of the Azure SQL family, Azure SQL Database is the intelligent, scalable, relational database service built for the cloud. It’s evergreen and always up to date, with AI-powered and automated features that optimize performance and durability for you. Serverless compute and Hyperscale storage options automatically scale resources on demand, so you can focus on building new applications without worrying about storage size or resource management. Eliminate the complexity of configuring and managing high availability, tuning, backups and other database tasks with a fully managed SQL database. Accelerate your application development on the only cloud with evergreen SQL using the latest SQL Server capabilities, and never worry about updates, upgrades, or end of support again. Build modern apps your way with provisioned and serverless compute options.

The industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) connects your people, products, and processes to power digital transformation. Using industrial IoT platforms, companies connect, monitor, analyze, and act on data in new ways. You can start fast with digital transformation, using IoT for strategic pilots, while easily scaling solutions to reshape your organization. Leaders depend on the industrial IoT from how they design, manufacture, and service products, to how they create value and engage with customers. The best way to accelerate digital transformation is by using a proven industrial IoT platform that’s purpose-built for you. Scale to new markets, improve throughput, and unlock new business models such as products as a service. Get to market faster with rapid application development. Use industrial Internet of Things platforms to wrap and extend legacy assets for new functionality.

Find or build IoT solutions to unite new or legacy machines and connect suppliers, customers, and a distributed workforce within a global ecosystem. Azure Industrial IoT is built around the principle that new solutions and data must interoperate through industry standards and prevent vendor lock-in. Achieve results at scale through faster discovery of assets, best-in-class global support, and years of security expertise built from the chip to the cloud. Remain in control of your solution, connect brownfield equipment, and prepare for the introduction of new assets or future technology. Build industrial IoT solutions that are compatible with industrial devices and systems through OPC UA standards. Contextualize data with powerful visualizations through Azure managed platform services, open-source software, and open industrial data models on the edge and in the cloud.
