Key advantages

  • Unified data collection from various data source types. No need for separate vendor-specific data collection solutions & licenses.

  • Supports both batch collection for low-frequency data and streaming for high-frequency data.

  • Cloud connectivity with ready-made cloud connectors.

  • Centralized system configurability.

  • Operational resiliency, such as buffering to withstand network issues.

  • Security by using ready-made and secure-by-default components.

  • Data source compatibility with extensible adapters.

FIDI KEY ADVANTAGES

Ready-made modules

FIDI accelerates deployment with a library of ready-made modules that solve common industrial data integration problems, minimizing setup time and costs.

The ready-made modules cover the core capabilities of FIDI that address key challenges in IT/OT integrations.

Adapters connect data sources to FIDI's core capabilities.

In addition to ready-made adapters, such as OPC UA, FIDI can be extended with tailored adapters. By utilizing FIDI’s core capabilities, the tailored adapters only need to implement the data source connectivity, while FIDI handles the rest.

MODULES & ADAPTERS

Architecture & extensibility

FIDI is built for adaptability, recognizing that no two industrial environments are the same.

FIDI's extensible architecture enables organizations to perfectly balance rapid development with customization flexibility, delivering faster time-to-value while being capable of supporting tailored needs.

Well-documented modules and APIs allow seamless integration of custom functionalities, ensuring the solution grows with your needs.

ARCHITECTURE

Your data – your way

Data sinks

FIDI’s flexible data sinks support both high-frequency real-time streaming and less time-sensitive batch data collection with equal accuracy, enabling seamless data delivery to any destination.

Once collected, the data is yours to utilize — powering AI, analytics, historical trend analysis, automation, predictive maintenance, situational awareness, and strategic decision-making.

Edge intelligence

FIDI's extensible architecture also enables intelligent edge computing by integrating custom use cases into the IoT Edge implementation. This brings data processing, HMIs, analytics, and AI capabilities directly to the industrial edge, closer to your data sources.

Real-time analytics and machine learning models run locally, delivering immediate insights and automated decision-making while reducing latency and eliminating cloud costs.

DATA SINKS & EDGE INTELLIGENCE

  • Long-term data collection for analytics and AI 

    • Predictive maintenance: Collect historical sensor data (temperature, vibration, pressure) for ML model training and anomaly detection. 

    • Data analytics: Aggregate operational metrics, quality measurements, and process data for trend analysis and business intelligence. 

    • Compliance reporting: Automated collection and storage of regulatory data (emissions, safety metrics) to data lakes. 

    Real-time operational visibility 

    • Production dashboards: Live KPI monitoring for production lines, equipment status, and facility operations. 

    • Asset performance: Streamed real-time equipment health indicators (OEE, availability, performance). 

    • Critical alarms: Instant notification of safety events, equipment failures, and process deviations. 

    Edge intelligence & control 

    • Adaptive process control: AI/ML models analyzing data and sending optimization parameters to controllers, deployable both locally and in cloud. 

    • Remote operations: Cloud-based setpoint adjustments and recipe management pushed to equipment. 

    • Edge analytics: Custom edge modules performing real-time processing, filtering, and decision-making at the edge before cloud transmission. 

  • IoT Edge 

    • Standalone/offline 

    • Azure IoT Edge 

    Management 

    • Azure 

  • Send your data to multiple destinations: 

    • Azure Event Hub 

    • Azure Blob Storage 

    • AWS S3 / S3-compatible 

    • Kafka 

    • HTTP 

    • Local files 

    Flexible routing: Configure multiple sinks simultaneously to send the same data to different destinations based on your needs. 

  • Plug-n-play to data sources using ready-made adapters: 

    • OPC UA 

    • HTTP 

    Extensibility: Implement tailored adapters on top of FIDI’s APIs to fit every need. 

  • OpenTelemetry: Gain complete visibility through extensive, industry-standard OpenTelemetry-based diagnostics compatible with your observability platform of choice.
