Proxus gets industrial data from machines into the rest of the platform. The goal is simple: connect the floor, structure the data, and make it usable everywhere else.
Key Pillars of Connectivity
Establishing a data stream in Proxus involves three main pillars:
Gateways
Run local collectors that keep delivering data during outages.
Devices & Assets
Model machines as reusable digital assets.
Protocols
Built-in support for the main industrial protocols.
How Data Flows
- Acquisition: Edge Gateways poll devices with native industrial protocols or accept MQTT telemetry.
- Transformation: Raw data is shaped with Device Profiles.
- Delivery: Data moves through the internal messaging backbone, and Store-and-Forward keeps it safe during outages.
- Governance: Data is organized into the Unified Namespace (UNS) so rules and integrations can use it.
Where to Start?
If you are new to Proxus, we recommend the following path:
Set up a Gateway
Follow the Docker Installation guide to get your first Edge Gateway running.
Create a Profile
Define a Device Profile for your PLC or sensor type. Use the Tag Browser to discover data points for OPC UA, SNMP, and MTConnect.
Add a Device
Add your First Device and start monitoring live data in the UNS Explorer.
