01 / MANUFACTURER · VENDOR · PLATFORM
Each part,
its own role.
One single foundation.
The manufacturer provides the hardware, the software vendor provides the applications and IoT Gateway NG makes sure the whole infrastructure works, stays up to date and can be managed remotely.
Automate the whole gateway life cycle: initial installation, configuration, maintenance, security updates, monitoring and recovery from incidents. Without physical intervention on the devices.
A common, reliable foundation, ready to run your own or third-party industrial solutions, such as Ignition Edge, Siemens Industrial Edge, Kepware or Matrikon, depending on each product’s compatibility.
Automate the life cycle.
Installation, configuration, security updates, monitoring and recovery, without travelling to the plant.
Run the applications you choose.
Your own or third-party solutions on a common foundation, with each device’s context and the logs for diagnosis.

02 / FROM MANAGING DEVICES TO MANAGING INFRASTRUCTURE
Stop managing
devices one by one.
Manage the entire infrastructure.
IoT Gateway NG + Edge Manager lets automation companies stop managing devices one by one and start managing complete industrial infrastructures.
Lower deployment and maintenance costs, more security and a business ready to grow.
Fewer site visits.
Many maintenance operations can be resolved remotely.
More security.
Devices updated and managed in a controlled way.
Faster deployments.
Consistent installations, with fewer human errors.
Technology freedom.
Choose compatible hardware and industrial applications.
A scalable business.
Managing 100 gateways should not take 10 times the effort of managing 10.
Potential benefits.They depend on the features actually deployed, the available connectivity and the compatibility of the devices and applications. Compare the 12 areas, before and after
THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
No black boxes.
Let’s talk plainly.
A good decision starts with knowing what exists, what fits and what needs validation.
Is it just a physical device?
No. The value is the combination of the gateway software and a central platform to inventory, install, configure and track operations. The hardware and its suitability are assessed for each deployment.
What is implemented today?
We have verified a working interface with an inventory of domains, networks and devices, versioned configurations, an OpenWrt installation flow, service configuration and an execution history with logs. The deployment scope is validated against your plant’s requirements.
Does it work with any machine?
Integration depends on the protocols, permissions and connectors available. The local services offer a flexible base, but compatibility is validated per machine and use case. Universal connectivity is not promised.
Does it replace the PLC, the HMI or the SCADA?
No. It provides data integration, local services and gateway management. Real-time industrial control, process visualisation and safety functions remain in the corresponding systems.
Do I have to use a Protectli?
No. IoT Gateway NG is hardware-agnostic. The Protectli VP4651 with coreboot is the recommended device and includes iPXE. Other devices require validation of compatibility, resources and boot method. Live USB remains an alternative.
Where is Edge Manager installed?
On the Internet or on the customer’s premises, depending on the project. Edge Manager manages the gateways. The integration services and local data processing run on the plant gateway.
