Manufacturers bring many different types of industrial equipment to the market, and the equipment follows drivers access protocols which are not necessarily compatible with each other. Existing equipment is hard to digitalize in a unified way. Besides the standardized MQTT protocol for IoT, SOHUB’s industry solution also supports existing industrial protocols such as Modbus, OPC-UA, IEC61850, IEC104and many more. It provides a unified high-quality data collection and data normalization on northbound and device controlling on southbound.

Manufacturing requires large data volumes to be transmitted with low latency. Through light-weight edge side deployment, SOHUB’s localized data processing and edge-cloud collaboration solution realizes high real-time response. The edge-side data streaming processing reduces the edge-cloud data transfer cost. The solution is flexible and extensible and it can be integrated with edge-side AI inference and decision making. This realizes the transformation from traditional manufacturing to smart manufacturing.

Massive amounts of data are collected, without a unified way to manage, store, and apply the data thus the value of the data is wasted. SOHUB provides Interoperability to different data interfaces, APIs, data storage and message queues. It connects core applications in manufacturing, such as the MES and ERP, and creates new value from the data.
