Run Logic
Where Operations Happen
Keep logic, buffering, and decisions close to the process. Proxus Edge keeps operations running during outages, preserves data with store-and-forward, and scales from single gateways to distributed deployments.

Offline-First Architecture
Network failures are a reality. Proxus Edge is designed to be autonomous. When the connection drops, it automatically buffers data locally (using the internal high-performance log) and continues to run critical logic and alarms without interruption. See edge orchestration in action.
- ✓ Zero Data Loss (Store & Forward)
- ✓ Automatic Sync on Reconnect
Instant Reaction Time
In high-speed manufacturing, a 500ms roundtrip to the cloud is an eternity. Proxus Edge processes data right next to the machine, allowing for instant decision making and immediate control actions.
Save 90% on Bandwidth
Sending every sensor reading to the cloud is expensive and inefficient. Proxus Edge filters noise, aggregates data (for example, 1-minute averages), and only transmits changes or anomalies. Explore edge patterns below.
- ✓ Lower 4G/5G Data Costs
- ✓ Reduced Cloud Ingress Fees
- ✓ Smarter Data for Analytics and AI
How Proxus Edge Works
Proxus Edge uses a distributed, event-driven architecture similar to the central platform. Gateways stay stateless, while configuration and workloads are orchestrated from the central server over reliable messaging. For technical details, see the edge architecture docs.
- Edge OrchestrationStarts and supervises edge workloads on each gateway. Receives configuration from the central platform and rolls out updates safely over the messaging layer.
- Smart Data RouterCollects telemetry from fieldbus and MQTT sources, normalises tags, and routes only relevant events to rules, functions, and integrations.
- Local Intelligence & SafetyRuns rules and custom logic right at the edge so safety logic, interlocks, and optimisations keep working even when the cloud is slow or offline.
- Durable Storage & IntegrationsStreams buffered events to time-series databases, data lakes, and external platforms once connectivity is available, without losing order or data.
The Edge Stack
Edge Computing Patterns with Proxus
Proxus implements proven edge patterns so you do not have to reinvent them. Each pattern maps directly to actors and configuration you already manage from the central server. See the success story for results.
Buffered Edge
The system buffers every event locally when the link to the central UNS is down. Once the line is back, data is replayed in order to your configured data stores and integrations.
Local Autonomy & Safety
The edge rule engine and custom functions continue to execute safety logic, interlocks, and optimisation rules even when the cloud is slow or unavailable.
Fan-Out to Multiple Targets
The same stream of telemetry can be routed to UNS, time-series databases, cloud platforms, or on-prem systems using reusable integration targets without duplicating logic.
Pilot Project Results
"Our pilot program with Proxus Edge proved we could achieve real-time visibility while significantly reducing data costs through intelligent edge filtering. We are now planning fleet-wide expansion."
