Adesto Announces Availability of Industry’s First Truly Open Edge Server for Building Automation and Industrial IoT
April 22 2019 - 9:00AM
Adesto® Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: IOTS), a leading provider
of innovative application-specific semiconductors and embedded
systems for the IoT era, announced general availability of its
next-generation edge server for building automation and industrial
IoT applications. SmartServer™ IoT is the industry’s first truly
open, full-featured and end-to-end industrial-rated IoT edge
server. Its out-of-the-box device management services, intuitive
user interface and programmable interfaces and applications enable
system integrators to deploy solutions in an afternoon, and OEMs to
create custom applications with ease.
Smart buildings represent a rapidly growing segment of the
Industrial IoT market as facility managers increasingly see the
benefits of merging traditional building automation and control
(BAC) systems with emerging sensing, communications and cloud
technologies. With Adesto’s SmartServer IoT, customers can meet
today’s challenge of creating truly smart buildings by integrating
their systems’ multitude of non-interoperable communications
protocols – which have evolved over the years to support each
buildings’ diverse functions, such as lighting, security, HVAC,
fire detection and others – with new sensing, analytics and
predictive AI services not available through BAC systems.
“Edge servers represent the crossroads where traditional
operational systems meet the IoT, and today they are needed across
just about every industrial and built-in environment,” said Adarsh
Krishnan, principal analyst, ABI Research. “Edge servers are not
all created equal, however. Bridging the separate islands of
automation in buildings without losing the considerable investment
in each specialized control network is key. This path to more
effective building automation solutions is what Adesto is
addressing today with SmartServer IoT.”
SmartServer IoT supports multiple protocols and applications,
enabling the convergence of diverse systems into a single edge
networking and compute platform. It features built-in support for
popular building automation protocols and services; open northbound
interfaces to any remote client, workstation or web application;
open southbound interfaces; and a data abstraction layer for
connecting with emerging IoT protocols and devices. With
SmartServer IoT, businesses can embrace their existing, perfectly
functional control and management systems, and enhance them by
securely connecting them to advanced IoT technologies.
“By supporting both BAC work flows and IoT applications and
providing an open ecosystem, Adesto’s SmartServer IoT eliminates
the painstaking task of integration that is the industry norm when
implementing IoT projects in commercial buildings,” said Tim
Hopkins, COO, Envigilant Systems, an Allied Telesis Division.
“While a typical integration project can take months, we were able
to get going with SmartServer IoT in a matter of hours. SmartServer
IoT gives us the ability to not only reduce integration frictions,
but also create our own services for data and controls. We’re
excited to pass this benefit on to our customers by enabling them
to maximize their ROI and enhance the building experience for
owners and occupants.”
“Traditional building and industrial control systems aren’t
going away,” said Apurba Pradhan, vice president of marketing,
Embedded Systems Division, Adesto. “Rip and replace is just not an
option for building or operations managers with existing automation
infrastructure based on BACnet, LON, Modbus or other field bus
systems that were very costly to put in place. With SmartServer
IoT, we leverage our 30 years of expertise in industrial
communications and networking to simplify the deployment of
advanced IoT applications in such market verticals for web
developers and system integrators.”
A Look Inside SmartServer IoTThe SmartServer
IoT provides multi-protocol IoT gateway functionality with edge
compute resources and APIs to optimize industrial IoT workflow
between the cloud and edge for industries such as building
automation, transportation and industrial controls. Key enablers
include:
- An end-to-end IoT solution, with modular
interfaces for leading industrial communications protocols and IP
network and data abstraction layer, eliminating the requirement to
integrate protocol stacks and abstract the data from a variety of
device types
- Secure IoT messaging to remote clients and cloud
services to gather data from devices efficiently from any
public or private cloud without opening unsecure ports or punching
holes through firewalls
- Edge services for controls and automation,
with pre-integrated device and data management apps—such as
connecting, routing, scheduling, data logging and alarming—all
operating at the network edge for faster, more responsive
systems
- User-friendly web-based management system for
simplifying the integrator workflow of creating, provisioning and
managing devices with configurable dashboards, alarms and
reports
- An extensible, open integration platform based on
Linux, with freely available modern RESTful APIs for
accelerating web apps and HTML development, and MQTT for custom
controls applications; all ensuring integration with any IoT device
or application
