Nodum

Nodum Architecture

Nodum is designed on a two-layer architecture that separates data acquisition from its processing and distribution. This approach ensures scalability, robustness, and flexibility to adapt to any industrial environment.

Layer 1: EDGE

Section titled “Layer 1: EDGE”

The EDGE layer is the digital backbone of your factory. It is installed directly on the plant floor, close to the machinery and production processes.

  • Main function: Real-time data acquisition and connectivity.
  • Key tasks:
    • Connects directly to PLCs, sensors, and OT equipment via multiple protocols.
    • Extracts significant variables continuously and efficiently.
    • Performs local monitoring of device status.

Layer 2: ENTERPRISE

Section titled “Layer 2: ENTERPRISE”

The ENTERPRISE layer is the central hub that consumes, unifies, and contextualizes the information coming from one or multiple EDGE devices.

  • Main function: Data orchestration, contextualization, and distribution.
  • Key tasks:
    • Creates a Unified Namespace (UNS), unifying data from all sources.
    • Transforms raw data into valuable information using tools like Node-RED.
    • Acts as a central data hub, distributing standardized information to business systems (BI, ERP) and cloud platforms.
