The Connectivity-Labs LLC (C-Labs) Factory-Relay is industrial Software framework for connecting OT (Operations Technology) resources such as industrial machines and devices to IT (Information Technology) services.
xGATEWAYs come pre-packaged with the Factory-Relay framework comprising their open-source C-DEngine (“seed engine”) and multiple plug-ins. This framework provides xGATEWAYs with Microsoft Azure IoT Cloud connectivity out-of-the-box. Additionally, Factory-Relay supports secure, firewalled networking within factory or industrial local networks when local data security is prioritized over the cloud. The Factory-Relay on xGATEWAY includes a plug-in for xTAG Sensor communications (USB) and can be further extended to support any other industrial protocol for comprehensive equipment connections. Factory-Relay also supports plug-ins providing IoT edge processing in any .NET language, JavaScript or Python.
It can provide a user-friendly web dashboard to sensors and their data
It can send the sensor data to cloud services like Azure's IoT Hub
It can provide local data consumers with data access via OPC Universal Access (UA).
It can send data even if the sensor is hard-to-reach in the deep edge, buried behind multiple firewalls to services in other networks even across the globe
It can be easily extended with Plugins
It is secure!
