- Reduces operational costs and complexity by focusing on relevant data only
Karlsruhe, Germany – May 27, 2025 – As industries accelerate the adoption of AI, automation, and data-driven operations, they face a fundamental challenge: managing the growing volume of embedded data across diverse edge devices. With over 20 years of experience improving the effectiveness and efficiency of more than 30 million embedded systems, aicas addresses this challenge with the Edge Data Gateway (EDG). This unified platform is designed to streamline data handling at the edge and enables organizations to configure which data is collected and how and when it is transmitted.
Managing Edge Data with Precision
aicas EDG is a scalable solution that connects and controls heterogeneous devices across environments. Each device is equipped with a preconfigured software agent that identifies available data signals and securely connects to the cloud. Through customizable data campaigns, users define precise data collection logic tailored to their operational goals.
This selective edge data management reduces computation and bandwidth usage, minimizes noise, and improves the efficiency of later data processing and analysis.
More Power to Streamline Data Operations
With support for intelligent signal detection, campaign orchestration, and embedded data validation, EDG provides asset operators, system administrators, and data teams with a complete set of tools to transform raw signals into actionable insights. EDG can be used with the visualization tool of your choice, such as ThingsBoard or Grafana. By default, ThingsBoard serves as the standard dashboard integration, offering realtime visibility and rapid response to anomalies or trends.
While designed to support hybrid and legacy environments, EDG currently runs as a cloud-based service provided by aicas or can be hosted within the user’s own AWS infrastructure. It also enables business operations teams, such as data brokers, to provide data to third-party services in a controlled and monitorable way.
EDG simplifies the integration of existing systems by supporting standardized data models, such as the COVESA Vehicle Signal Specification (VSS) for automotive companies, which helps unify data access across different vehicle platforms. Predefined templates, automated agent provisioning, and a code-free interface reduce setup time and lower the entry barrier for engineering teams. When used with the aicas Embedded Device Portal (EDP), software updates and AI models can be managed through the same control plane.
EDG Benefits at a Glance
- Reduce data and storage costs by transmitting only relevant signals
- Deploy in minutes without custom code or manual configuration
- Gain faster insights through user-friendly live data dashboards and visual workflows
- Adapt to diverse environments with support for multiple protocols and systems
- Enable predictive operations with precise, event-triggered data collection
- Easily integrate and scale across legacy and modern infrastructure
- Ensure resilience with automatic data syncronizing for offline devices
“Too many organizations struggle to operationalize and fully capture the value from their edge data,” says Dr. James J. Hunt, CEO and CTO of aicas. “EDG gives them real control over what matters. It simplifies how edge data is selected, validated, and transformed into business impact. Developers and operators can do so through a very intuitive and easy-to-use cloud interface”.
