Product overview
Industrial edge & MQTT
Installed-base industrial edge gateway route for PLC/CNC connectivity and information-layer integration.
Installed-base continuityDocument the running drivers, data model, licences and consumers before changing the gateway.
Migration engineeringMap every source, tag, certificate, MQTT/OPC UA consumer and network rule to the current platform.
No blind replacementPhysical similarity does not prove configuration or licence compatibility.
Current routeSofting identifies SDEX Suite Gateway for relevant migration scenarios.
Lifecycle / positioning: Softing states the product functions are now included in SDEX Suite. For new projects, review SDEX Suite / SDEX Suite Gateway first.
