Crosser IoT Edge Analytics
When Machines Talk™
Edge Analytics for Industrial IoT & Industry 4.0
Making Big Data Small and Relevant
Edge Analytics software allows data produced by sensor-rich assets like machines, equipment and devices to be pre-processed in real-time closer to where it is created. There are several technical and business drivers and benefits with Crosser Edge Analytics architecture, including:
Cost
Savings
Significant data reduction by removing dirty data and irrelevant data. Get significant cloud, analytics and network connectivity cost savings.
Innovate with
More Data
Edge Analytics allows you to collect more data points without increasing your cost of data. More data - more innovation possibilities.
Transform Raw Data
to Insights
Collect raw data, transform it, analyze it and act on the insights in real-time.
Local Intelligence
& Automation
Run local triggers between machines or PLC’s with ultra-low latency. Runs autonomously without cloud connectivity.

Edge Deployments Explained
Edge
The Edge Analytics software is deployed on a IoT gateway on a remote unit, or embedded, and processes the sensor data from that single unit.
Field Edge Aggregation
Also called Fog Computing. The Edge Analytics software is typically deployed on an IoT gateway and processes the sensor data from multiple field units.
On-Premise Edge
Typically on a factory shop floor or building with multiple machines. The Edge Analytics software is installed on a server/virtual machine and processes sensor data from multiple on-premise machines and data sources.

No data. No party.
Getting access to relevant data in a central location,
either cloud or data center, is the fundamental starting-point
to enable these main use-cases and meet the business objectives.
Crosser Edge Analytics solution is purpose-built to address
the key challenges for Industrial IoT, including:
Factory floor challenges
- High number of sensor tags - constant changes
- Many data sources: PLC, DCS, MES, Historians and databases
- Many protocols: OPC, Modbus, MQTT, SCADA and more
- Separated networks
- OT and IT team collaboration
Remote assets challenges
- Moving from basic telemetry to monitoring all subcomponent
- How to collect more data but transfer less?
- Limited and costly connectivity
- Unreliable and intermittent connectivity
- Managing large volume of assets
- Inside customer firewalls
