The TwinEdge Gateway integrates your existing industrial assets with the digital world of Industrie 4.0, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum efficiency. It provides active digital twins, that provide their information and can take action.

Easy to integrate

The TwinEdge Gateway supports many communication standards. If your asset provides information over an interface, you can create a digital twin!

Based on standards

Leverage existing standards like the Asset Administration Shell, to ensure compatibility with other systems.

Integrate OT with IT

A lot of information is available in PLCs and other field devices. A digital twin can provide this information to all your analytics tools.

Made for retrofitting

Do you have older machines, that need to be integrated into a digital landscape? The TwinEdge Gateway is the way to go!

One Product, Many Features
Unlock the potential of your operations — step into Industry 4.0 with TwinEdge.

Twin Edge Gateway

The Twin Edge Gateway is based on the Revolution PI to ensure a robust setup with industry-grade components. It can be directly integrated into existing control cabinets of your machines.

With its dual Ethernet ports, the TwinEdge Gateway can be connected to the IT and OT networks simultaniusly.

Certified Hardware

The hardware is based on the EN/IEC 61131-2 certified Raspberry Pi Compute Module.

Easy to integrate

Requiring nothing more than a power supply and an Ethernet connection, the TwinEdge Gateway fits well into any industrial environment.

Asset Administration Shell

We leverage the AAS as the defacto standard for digital twins in industrial applications. This ensures interoperability with a wide range of tools.

Simply import your AASX files and bind the submodel elements to the configured connectors

Support Type 3 AAS as defined by the IDTA

Use predefined or custom Submodels

Connectors

We offer a multitude of connectors to use, to connect your machines to the TwinEdge Gateway. Most connectors use the built-in Ethernet port to connect to downstream devices. If the connector requires a special hardware interface, like EtherCAT, we can extend the Gateway with the necessary hardware. The hardware for Modbus RTU and RS-485 is already on-board!

Mix-and-Match

You are free to use as many connectors as you want simultaneously.

Network-based Connectors

HTTP, MQTT, OPC-UA, Modbus TCP

Hardware-based Connectors

EtherCAT, Modbus RTU, RS-485

Low Code Flow Engine

Using Node-RED®, you can make your digital twins smart. Make your digital twin an actor, that responds to machine conditions, outside requests and many other events.

Connect multiple Gateways together

Extend Your asset with additional logic

Use custom nodes for interfacing with the TwinEdge Gateway or choose from the over 5000 nodes provided by the community

Condition Monitoring

Effortlessly track the health and performance of your industrial assets with the TwinEdge Gateway. Identify potential issues before they become costly problems and optimize your operations for maximum efficiency.

Continuously monitor equipment performance directly from the edge.

Define custom rules and actions with the integrated Low Code Engine

Time Series Recording

Record the time series data of the devices. We support storing multiple streams of data in external time series databases or locally on the device. The time series data will also be provided as the TimeSeries Submodel as defined by the IDTA.

Integrated IO

By directly connecting sensors and actors to the integrated IO of the Twin Edge Gateway, you can easily connect your machines to the digitial world, without having to modify any of your existing controls. A digital input and a relais output are already built-in. With the use of expansion modules, there is no limit to number of IO channels.

Non-invasive

Gather information on your operation, without interfering with a running production

Versatile

Using different extentions, digital and analog IO can be read or written.

Example

Measure the power and number of operations using dedicated sensors. Integrate a relay into the saftey-circuit of your machine to allow for remote E-Stop.

TwinEdge Gateway Potentials
The TwinEdge Gateway is your starting point for transforming legacy systems into Industrie 4.0-ready assets. With our comprehensive solutions, you can address critical challenges in the digital manufacturing landscape. Here's how the TwinEdge Gateway can support you:
Retrofitting

Don't fall behind in an ever-evolving digital landscape.

The TwinEdge Gateway keeps you connected to the latest technologies, ensuring that your assets and systems remain up-to-date and competitive in the rapidly advancing world of Industrie 4.0.

Digital Product Passport & Carbon Footprint Tracking

Stay ahead of regulatory requirements and sustainability goals with structured data for traceability.

The TwinEdge Gateway helps create a Digital Product Passport that captures all relevant product information, while also enabling accurate carbon footprint tracking to ensure you meet environmental standards.

Overcoming Budget Limitations for Industry 4.0 Projects​

Limited budgets are often a challange for Industrie 4.0 adpoption.

The TwinEdge Gateway provides cost-effective solutions that allows you to integrate smart technology into your existing systems without the need for significant capital expenditure. Our flexible approach helps you make the most of your resources and transform your assets efficiently.

Compliance with EU Regulation (2023/1230) on Machinery​

Ensure that your products meet the EU Machinery Regulation (2023/1230) and comply with all legal requirements.

The TwinEdge Gateway helps you integrate compliance features into your machines, simplifying the process of meeting regulatory standards and ensuring safe and reliable operations.

Meeting Industry 4.0 Product Criteria​

It can be a challenge to bring existing machines up to Industrie 4.0-standards.

From connectivity and data exchange to interoperability and scalability, the TwinEdge Gateway helps you bridge the gap between traditional manufacturing and advanced digital environments.

Provision of Services Around the Machine​

Most edge gateways only allow for one-way transfer of information or events.

Beyond simple data transfer, the TwinEdge Gateway enables the provision of additional services around your machines, whether that's predictive maintenance, remote monitoring, or real-time data analytics.
