Industrial Edge Computing

A high-performance, rugged edge node and gateway stack that runs application, analytics and AI workloads directly at the asset — accelerating insight to action without waiting on the cloud.

PiiLink.AI edge node and gateway hardware
Why compute at the edge?

Sub-millisecond intelligence. Zero cloud dependency.

Bringing compute power directly to the physical asset to eliminate latency, reduce bandwidth costs, and keep safety-critical operations running 100% offline.

Deterministic Low Latency

Execute vision models and control loops in sub-10 millisecond response, right at the asset.

Bandwidth & Cost Optimization

Filter, aggregate, and compress high-frequency time-series data locally before streaming to the cloud.

100% Operational Continuity

Local store-and-forward architecture ensures continuous operation during network blackouts.

Edge stack architecture

Modular software architecture built for the plant floor

A layered stack — from physical signal acquisition at the bottom to cloud connectivity at the top.

LAYER 4 · NORTHBOUND

IT/Cloud Connectors

Secure streaming to AWS, Azure, private clouds, or enterprise MES/ERP.

LAYER 3 · COGNITIVE

Cognitive & AI Runtime

Local execution of vision models (YOLO), anomaly detection, and agentic micro-services.

LAYER 2 · PROCESSING

Edge Data Processing Engine

Telemetry normalization, noise filtering, and local time-series DB storage.

LAYER 1 · SOUTHBOUND

OT Acquisition

High-speed ingestion from sensors, PLCs, cameras, and instrumentation.

Protocol & connectivity matrix

Universal protocol translation. Connect any asset, anywhere.

Out-of-the-box driver support for legacy OT machinery and modern IT backbones — no custom code required.

  • Apache Kafka / Azure Event Hubs
  • AWS IoT Core & Bedrock
  • SQL / Time-Series Database Sync
The cognitive edge

Run advanced vision & ML models directly at the line

Transform raw camera streams and high-frequency telemetry into closed-loop actions without round-trips to the cloud.

High-Speed Vision Analytics

Perform micron-scale defect inspection and quality checks at full production line speed.

Agentic Edge Micro-Agents

Deploy lightweight autonomous agents that monitor local health and auto-trigger corrective parameters.

Model Management

Remotely deploy, update, and benchmark ML/vision models across your entire gateway fleet.

Fleet management & orchestration

Zero-touch fleet management at scale

Provision, monitor, and update thousands of edge nodes from a single central console.

Zero-Touch Provisioning

Plug-and-play field deployment — gateways auto-configure upon network connection.

Encrypted OTA Updates

Push secure OS, container, and application updates with full rollback protection.

Health & Telemetry Monitoring

Live CPU, memory, temperature, and storage telemetry for every gateway node.

Security & compliance

Defense-in-depth security for OT networks

TPM 2.0 Hardware Security

Hardware-root-of-trust encryption for secure boot and key storage.

Air-Gapped Operation

Full offline execution capability with zero inbound cloud port requirements.

IEC 62443 Aligned

Engineered to satisfy strict industrial cybersecurity standards.

Hardware & deployment flexibility

Deployment flexibility: hardware-agnostic or turnkey

Deploy the PiiLink Edge Stack as a pre-configured, IP67-rated rugged hardware appliance, or run it on your existing Industrial PCs (IPCs), Raspberry Pi/ARM architectures, and Nvidia Jetson GPU nodes.
