IoEX Gateway platform-independent connectivity
The IoEX Gateway is a platform-independent and operating system-independent gateway software designed for flexible IoT and embedded system connectivity. Its adaptable architecture allows implementation across multiple hardware platforms and operating systems, helping companies simplify complex industrial communication challenges.
Flexible plugin-based architecture
The IoEX Gateway uses a modular plugin-based architecture that supports fast integration of new communication protocols. This flexible approach reduces development time and simplifies connectivity between machines, embedded systems, and cloud services.
For example, when customers need to connect a vehicle backbone network to the cloud, TK Engineering can develop custom downlink plugins for specific communication protocols. The gateway supports multiple industrial communication standards, including:
- CANopen
- Modbus
- J1939
- Custom industrial protocols
This scalable architecture makes the IoEX Gateway ideal for industrial IoT, vehicle systems, and machine connectivity applications.
Implementation of Linux-based owa5x IoT computer
The IoEX Gateway runs successfully on multiple hardware platforms, including the rugged Linux-based Owa5x IoT computer. The Owa5x delivers high performance, increased memory capacity, larger storage space, and advanced connectivity features for demanding industrial IoT environments.
These capabilities make the Owa5x ideal for industries such as construction, cargo and material handling, agriculture, forestry, fleet management, mining, and electric vehicles.
