Edge Device

the Edge Device is the recommended IoT device for the DAIM Edge Computing Platform

the Edge Device enables
- IoT connectivity and collection of data
- data processing and analytics capabilities close to the data source
flexible data logistics - data filtering and routing to a variety of systems (on premise and cloud)
easy to set up and simple to operate
highest security standards for protecting data and intellectual property
batteries included: preinstalled with ready-to-go IoT software
extensible: run your own applications and algorithms as Docker containers

simple connectivity and data logistics solution:
- collect data and route it to different systems, based on data attributes or content
- aggregate or compress data before sending it to the cloud
condition monitoring: detect wear of components and alert customer service
process stability: monitor process stability of production machines, control production process through algorithm
machine learning: train model in cloud system, apply model on the edge
collect and store data important for warranty or legal reasons
basis for remote maintenance of production machines (third-party software required)

simple and secure configuration and registration process
easy network configuration via setup wizard, similar to home routers
network setup with or without network separation between production and external networks

The DAIM Edge Computing Platform is a central management solution for your Edge Devices:

manage devices: automatic and secure software updates and security patches, monitor health and online status of your devices

manage applications: orchestrate applications running on your devices, manage application updates

manage data flow: orchestrate data flow across devices: which data gets sent where?

Goal:

platform user can focus on delivering value to his customers: connectivity solutions, condition monitoring, digital services, machine learning, remote maintenance, etc.
DAIM Edge Computing Platform takes care of managing necessary software and infrastructure: manage devices, algorithms, security patches, upgrades, data distribution, etc.

Designed from ground up with strong IoT security in mind

protect Edge Devices, platform backend and customers against manipulation and malicious code
- secure communication, certificate based authentification/authorisation and software signing
protect intellectual property located on the Edge Device (e.g., your Edge Applications)
- devide encryption, protection against manipulation through TPM 2.0 chip

Regular security audits by independent security advisers and university researchers.

Central Management of Edge Devices

Edge Applications are deployed on Edge Devices as Docker containers
use included applications such as Apache NiFi (data logistics) or databases (e.g., postgres)
create your own applications as Docker containers, using tools and programming languages you are already familiar with - if it runs in a Docker container, it runs on the Edge Device
create value for your customers by offering digital services in your business domain: connectivity solutions, condition monitoring, digital services, machine learning, remote maintenance, etc.

Use Apache NiFi for data flow management:

highly configurable
- loss tolerant vs guaranteed delivery
- low latency vs high throughput
- dynamic prioritization
back pressure (even between sites)

Data Provenance: track data lineage
