The open edge framework
for lightweight IoT devices

Out-of-the-box connectivity to many IoT platforms including Azure IoT, Cumulocity IoT and more

Supports any programming language and messaging payload using MQTT for inter-process communication

Deployable onto most embedded hardware platforms, operating systems and software containers

Extensible software, firmware and configuration management with support for many software artefact types including binary, Debian and Docker

Device-side lifecycle handling and management of X.509 certificates for secure device authentication

Resource monitoring and remote access to measure in-life device performance and simplify troubleshooting

Low CPU usage and less than 16 MB memory footprint that minimises impact on critical IoT apps and battery life

Fast native performance from being written in C and Rust

Watchdog supervised with system to assure correct operation and rapid recovery from any malfunctions

Increasing device complexity increases the need to continuously keep firmware, software, and apps updated in the field. Securely connecting and maintaining devices operating in live operational environments poses many security and reliability challenges.

Fragmentation of hardware and software across an estate typically increases with scale and means that it's difficult to have a common IoT platform management approach. This limits you being able to roll-out updates across all devices or capturing consistent data for preventative maintenance.

Many IoT platform vendors provide their own software which can be installed onto devices at design time. This software essentially locks the device to that vendor, and means that end customers are not free to choose which IoT platform to use.
