Product Overview
Manufacturing Data Engine

The foundational cloud solution to process, contextualize, and store factory data. The cloud platform can acquire data from any type of machine, supporting a wide range of data, from telemetry to image data, via a private, secure, and low-cost connection between edge and cloud. With built-in data normalization and context-enrichment capabilities, it provides a common data model, with a factory-optimized data lakehouse for storage. 

Manufacturing Connect 

The factory edge platform co-developed with Litmus Automation quickly connects with nearly any manufacturing asset via an extensive library of 250+ machine protocols. It translates machine data into a digestible dataset and sends it to the Manufacturing Data Engine for processing, contextualization, and storage. By supporting containerized workloads, it allows manufacturers to run low-latency data visualization, analytics, and ML capabilities directly on the edge.
