A small computer that reads your machines and never loses a reading.
Nisthora Edge runs on an industrial PC or a similar small computer inside your plant. It talks to your PLCs over the plant network and sends their readings securely to Nisthora.
Built for the shop floor.
Many machines, one device
One edge device reads many PLCs, from different makers, at the same time.
Six protocols built in
OPC UA, Modbus TCP, Siemens S7, EtherNet/IP, MQTT Sparkplug B and HTTP.
Keeps data when offline
Every reading is saved on the device first. If the internet drops, it sends everything later.
Never counts twice
Each reading carries its own number, so a re-sent reading is recognised and stored only once.
Report by exception
Steady readings are not re-sent every second. Changes and counters always are.
One-time install
One command installs it as a service. It starts on its own after a power cut.
Remote updates
New versions are pushed from Nisthora. No visit to the plant.
Its own key
Each edge device has its own secure key and can only send data for its own machines.
From box to first reading.
Create the edge device
The platform admin adds it in the Device Hub and gets a one-time install code.
Run one command
On the plant computer, paste the install command. It sets itself up as a service.
It checks in
The device appears as connected in the Device Hub, with its version.
Add PLCs
From then on, PLCs and readings are added on screen and sync to the device.
What happens when things go wrong.
| Situation | What Nisthora Edge does |
|---|---|
| Internet drops for an hour | Keeps reading every machine and stores the data on its own disk. Sends it all, in order, when the link is back. |
| Power cut at the plant | Starts again on its own when power returns. Readings already stored are kept. |
| One PLC stops answering | Marks that PLC as offline. The other PLCs are read as normal. |
| A driver hits an error | The error is contained to that driver. The rest of the agent keeps working. |
| A reading is sent twice | Nisthora recognises it by its number and stores it once, so counts stay correct. |
| A new version is released | The update is pushed from Nisthora and the agent restarts itself on the new version. |
