By utilizing Edge Connectors, Edge Nodes and Edge Clusters, a secure connection to the manubes cloud can be established in just a few steps. Manufacturers benefit from standardized and intuitive configuration, high availability, performance optimization and modern security standards.

Edge Node

Edge Nodes transfer your production data to and from the cloud.

Edge Nodes are locally installed, lightweight applications that connect  your machines, devices, databases and systems to the the manubes cloud environment. This way, your production data can be securely transferred between local plants and the manubes cloud where it can be structured, visualized and used in workflow automations.

Edge Nodes can be installed and run on a wide variety of hardware systems, including Windows PCs and (Linux-based) edge devices.

Edge Cluster

Edge Clusters are responsible for efficient and fail-safe connections.

An Edge Cluster contains multiple Edge Nodes and connects them to the manubes cloud. This structure comes with an important benefit: Should an Edge Node go offline, its workload can be automatically taken over by another node within the cluster without affecting data transmission.

By creating multiple Edge Clusters, you are able to structure your data sources in a logical and site-based manner. Furthermore, you can add any number of Edge nodes to an Edge cluster and thus connect any number of systems with manubes.

Edge Clusters offer the following advantages:

  • 5Fail-safe with multiple nodes
  • 5Load balancing within the cluster
  • 5Secure connection to the manubes cloud

Edge Connector

Edge Connectors make it easy to configure data exchanges with any system.

Edge Connectors connect your machines, devices, databases and systems to an Edge Cluster and the Edge Nodes within that cluster. This way, they ensure that production data from a wide variety of sources within a company can be transferred to the manubes cloud securely and reliably.

Every system, including for example PLCs, printers and databases, is addressed with its own Edge Connector using standard protocols and various other interfaces (see more information below).

Edge Connectors can be configured in only a few steps and without specific know-how.

Interfaces

manubes supports the industry-relevant interfaces.

Modern production is transparent, data-driven, and automated in many areas – yet system diversity and integration complexity pose challenges for many manufacturers.

To enable a standardized connection of all machines, devices, databases and software systems, manubes leverages industrial standard interfaces.

The supported interfaces include OPC UA, the leading standard for vendor-independent communication in the industry, the IoT standard protocol MQTT as well as REST for communication with APIs. With support for Microsoft SQL Server and MySQL, the most important database types can be integrated with ease. Sending and receiving emails in the cloud is possible without external configuration.
