edgeAggregator provides a powerful OPC UA data integration layer combined with a modern Docker based IoT edge solution. Users implement flexible solutions with the OPC UA aggregation server that combine the various OPC UA servers of the automation level with their associated address spaces and make the data available to the IT applications via a consistent OPC UA interface.
The interface abstraction of edgeAggregator enables continuous adaptation and scaling of IoT solutions based on OPC UA and MQTT throughout the entire lifecycle. Users thus gain a high degree of flexibility while significantly reducing integration and configuration costs.
edgeAggregator covers the full range of OPC UA and MQTT security functions and allows the implementation of a state-of-the-art security solution.
As a Docker container, it offers flexible deployment options, such as on devices running Azure IoT Edge or AWS IoT GreengrassThe application can be easily configured locally via an integrated web interface.
