Emerson PACEdge IoT software platform

PACEdge is an IoT software platform package from Emerson that provides all aspects of edge processing to simplify IIoT application development, deployment and administration. It helps to maximise the value of data to generate real insights and improve operation in safety and energy optimisation.

All components necessary in the IIoT application life cycle are brought together to provide a unified and secure interface to decrease development time and increase deployable footprint. With drag-and-drop programming, preparing software and hardware interfaces is simplified, to allow the connection of systems from the shop floor to user dashboards using a single centralised application platform. The software includes web interfaces for device administration, application development and scalability, with no need for command line configuration.

The platform has been built for a dynamically evolving, cloud-agnostic development strategy and allows easy connection to multiple cloud vendors. Data can be pulled from a cloud vendor, combined with control system data and pushed to a different cloud vendor.

The product is available on Emerson’s range of Industrial RXi2 PCs, including its CPL410 programmable automation controller.
