To get the most out of Proxus, it is essential to understand the architectural and philosophical principles that drive the platform. Unlike traditional SCADA or IIoT systems, Proxus is built on a Single Source of Truth model and a Decoupled Architecture.
Foundational Pillars
Hub & Spoke Topology
Central Core orchestrates stateless Edge Gateways via a resilient messaging backbone.
Unified Namespace (UNS)
The hierarchical backbone of your industrial data, based on ISA-95 standards.
Stateless Edge Architecture
Gateways are replaceable without reconfiguration. All state lives in the Core.
Embedded MQTT Broker
Accept device telemetry locally without external dependencies.
Data Quality
Comprehensive metrics to ensure your data is timely, accurate, and consistent.
The Proxus Philosophy
Single Source of Truth (SSoT)
All operational data flows into a Unified Namespace. Any consumer—dashboard, AI model, ERP system—subscribes to the same hierarchy without needing to know the underlying device addresses.
Decoupled Architecture
Producers and consumers never communicate directly. The platform acts as a broker, enabling horizontal scaling, protocol translation, and guaranteed delivery.
Core Design Principles
- Stateless Edge: Gateways should be replaceable without manual configuration. All state is managed centrally.
- Standardization First: Data is normalized at the point of ingestion, not at the consumption layer.
- Open Access: Your data belongs to you. Standard protocols (MQTT, REST, SQL) ensure no vendor lock-in.
- Resilience by Design: Network failures are expected. Store & Forward ensures zero data loss.
