Proxus 2.0.0 Proxus 2.0: the largest release in Proxus history Release notes

Solutions · Cloud & warehouse

Feed the data platform without gaps or bespoke pipelines.

Cloud analytics projects usually stall on ingestion: brittle exports, missing periods after every outage, and no agreement on what a field means. Proxus makes the feed a configured target rather than a project.

Targets
18 destination systems, among them Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, ClickHouse, Kafka, AWS IoT Core and Azure IoT Hub
Reliability
Buffered at the edge, forwarded on reconnect
Contract
A stable, documented namespace instead of ad-hoc export schemas

A configured target, not an ingestion project.

The cloud or data platform is one more destination: modelled data waits at the gateway through an outage and is written in order when the link returns.

The shift

What actually changes.

How it works today

  • An export fails at 02:00 and leaves a hole nobody notices
  • Column names are inherited from a PLC address list
  • The pipeline was written by someone who has since left
  • Volume is whatever the export happened to include

With Proxus

  • Buffered delivery replays what the link could not carry
  • The namespace is the schema contract, with changes recorded in the audit trail
  • Targets are configuration entries your team can read and change
  • On-change delivery and filtering at the source size the feed deliberately

How it plays out

A typical sequence, step by step.

An illustrative sequence, not a customer story: written to show the shape of the work rather than to claim a result. Your equipment, sites and systems decide the detail.

  1. Design

    Agree the contract

    The data team reads the namespace model and designs against it, before a single row is shipped.

  2. Go-live

    The feed starts

    Selected signals are delivered to the warehouse or cloud service, with the strategy chosen per target.

  3. Outage

    The link drops

    The gateway queues the feed locally, within its retention, and the historian on your hub keeps serving the plant.

  4. Recovery

    Backfill without a ticket

    Buffered data is forwarded when the link returns, and the target’s status and last success show the feed has caught up.

What Proxus does here

The working parts behind it.

  • Store and forward

    Local buffering with replay, so link failures delay data rather than destroy it.

  • A stable contract

    Modelled signals with units and context, with changes recorded in the audit trail.

  • Cloud and data platform targets

    AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub, Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, ClickHouse and REST endpoints, initiated from inside your network.

    All 18 destination systems
  • Streaming targets

    Kafka, RabbitMQ, MQTT and Sparkplug B for event-driven consumers.

  • Send only what matters

    On-change delivery and filtering at the source to keep bandwidth and storage proportionate.

  • Verifiable delivery

    Status, last success, last failure and last error per target, so the data team can see the feed is intact.

Deployment scope

What a first deployment involves.

You choose
Which signals leave the site, per target
You deliver to
Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, ClickHouse, Kafka, the AWS and Azure IoT services, and the databases your BI tools read
You verify
Delivery status per target, from inside the plant
You retain
A copy in your own historian, so plant use never depends on the cloud link
Scope your first line

What this enables

  • Close the gaps that every outage used to leave in the record
  • Give the data team a schema contract rather than an export format
  • Keep bandwidth and storage proportionate to the question being asked
  • Feed more than one cloud or warehouse from the same collection layer

Questions

What teams ask before starting.

How do you avoid gaps in the cloud feed?
Buffering at the edge with forward-on-reconnect. If the link or the target is unavailable, data queues locally and is delivered when it comes back.
Does this mean sending everything to the cloud?
No, and it usually should not. On-change delivery and filtering at the source let you send what the analytics actually needs, which keeps both bandwidth and storage proportionate.
Who defines the schema the warehouse receives?
You do, through the namespace model. That model is the contract, and because changes to it are recorded in the audit trail, a change is visible rather than a surprise for the data team.
Can we feed more than one cloud or warehouse?
Yes. Each target is configured independently, with its own strategy and format.

Next step

Start with one line, not a programme.

Pick the line that causes the most arguments about numbers. We will scope what it takes to make that one trustworthy, and what the second and tenth would cost in effort.
