Connect Devices. Transmit Edge Data.
Extend Systems.

Set up an infrastructure of better device connections and secure message-oriented data transmission at the edge of your network with Ignition Edge IIoT. A remote connection hub, Edge IIoT works with standard Ignition to bridge device data between remote sites and the plant floor by publishing it to an MQTT server or other endpoint.
