Litmus: Foundation (Device Data Collection & Analytics)

With 250+ pre-built drivers, Litmus can connect to any machine or industrial system out-of-the-box. Collected data is structured and stored, and ready for use by edge and enterprise applications.

With pre-built KPIs and an easy-to-use dashboard builder, customers can quickly create data visualizations and analytics for machine downtime, condition monitoring, OEE and more.

Immediately feed ready-to-use machine data to any cloud or enterprise system to achieve a complete edge-to-cloud data picture for OT, IT and Data Science teams.

Host and access public or private applications in a centralized repository, with the ability to deploy and run applications and machine learning models at the edge.

Achieve a single point of control to view and manage a complete picture of edge devices, data and applications at scale.

Litmus Edge Manager is a centralized edge management platform purpose-built to give edge and enterprise teams visibility, access and control over the orchestration of all edge devices, data, applications and machine learning models at scale. Visualizing data from all sites and centrally deploying applications leads to exponential opportunities to drive efficiency and operational improvement. Litmus Edge Manager makes it easy to create deployment templates and send over-the-air-updates for fast, easy and secure IIoT at scale.

• Single Point of Control: Simplify the management of IIoT deployments at scale with centralized visibility and control of devices, data, applications and machine learning models.
• Device Management: Control, configure, update and monitor IIoT devices across all sites remotely to remove the need for on-site management.
• Data Management: Visualize OT data from any site and integrate data to any enterprise system to power advanced analytics and applications.
• Application Orchestration: Run containerized applications on any Litmus Edge device with centralized control over how they are hosted, deployed and updated.
• ML Model Orchestration: Host and manage machine learning models in a central repository. Deploy models to Litmus Edge devices at any number of sites, and run them using Docker containers.
• Flexible Deployment: Install Litmus Edge Manager in the data center, cloud (Google Cloud, Azure, AWS, etc) or on-premise next to IIoT devices.

Under the hood, Litmus is the most complete Industrial IoT Edge platform on the market – providing everything industrial companies need to collect and put data to work at the edge and across the enterprise. First, Litmus Edge collects and unifies all OT data – from vision systems to flat files to PLCs and DCS – and normalizes and stores the ready-to-use-data. Customers can engineer the data with common KPIs and visualization for valuable machine analytics and immediate value or send data anywhere for advanced analytics. Applications and machine learning models are fed with complete OT data and deployed at the edge with container technology. Litmus Edge Manager adds a management and orchestration layer for device, data, application and ML model management at any scale.
