                Be at the edge—not on it

Why do you need an IoT edge platform for your industrial assets? When you have sensors and devices in places with limited connectivity, produce too much data to send to the cloud cost-effectively, or need millisecond response times from analytics, edge solutions are the answer. Take the “edge off” with the Cumulocity IoT edge platform for low-code/no-code management of industrial edge assets. Build it once, deploy it anywhere. Whether you choose thick edge or thin edge, we help you combine edge computing with cloud and bring your IoT architecture to the next level, enabling you to succeed in your IoT projects.

Here's what you can do with an edge computing platform and Cumulocity IoT:  

Automate decisions

                Deliver ultra-fast analytics

With IoT edge analytics, process data close to the source for faster results that trigger an immediate response.​
optimize performace

                Deploy IoT in new places

Use IoT edge computing when there’s limited network connectivity and you need to process data from many devices.​
machine uptime

                Cut infrastructure costs

Not all data needs to go to the cloud. Processing data locally can reduce bandwidth costs while boosting IoT security.

                    Push the boundaries with thin edge

Learn how IoT at the edge brings new opportunities to connect every "thing"—devices, products, machines and other assets—so you can increase uptime, improve response time, save bandwidth and reduce costs.
