Build a secure, enterprise-grade architecture with a complete "best-of-suite" ecosystem.
Connect to any industrial asset out-of-the-box with a massive library of drivers.
Orchestrate devices, Docker applications and AI models across all your sites.
Litmus is an industrial edge data platform built to bridge the gap between your OT and IT systems at massive scale.
Instead of forcing you to piece together a puzzle of different software tools, Litmus offers a "best-of-suite" approach consisting of three core components:
We typically recommend Litmus when clients are looking for a highly scalable, enterprise-level rollout. It’s a powerful tool with a lot of impact throughout the organisation, comparable to rolling out an ERP. But because the platform is so complete, we can use it to build repeatable architectures and scalable use cases across multiple sites. This saves a lot of setup time while keeping everything standardised.
Litmus is also our go-to solution for strict cybersecurity environments. By stacking Litmus Edge instances across different network layers, we can make your setup compliant with standards like NIS2 and IEC 62443. Its built-in orchestration also makes it incredibly easy for us to deploy custom Docker applications, time-series databases, and machine learning models directly to the edge, exactly where they are needed most.
Need to scale your industrial data strategy across multiple sites? Here is why you should consider Litmus for enterprise rollouts.
No need to worry about the specific mix of legacy and modern equipment on your shop floor. Litmus Edge comes with over 250 pre-built drivers, connecting everything from Siemens PLCs to older Modbus devices effortlessly.
If you prefer a best-of-breed setup instead of Litmus’ best-of-suite approach, Litmus Edge also connects to your SCADA, MES, data historian, and other tools.
Setting up one node is easy, but rolling out an architecture across multiple factories can quickly become a headache. One of the reasons why Litmus works so well at an enterprise scale is its Edge Manager. This gives you a single pane of glass to control all your devices, data, and applications.
You can also use Edge Manager to standardise your deployments using templates and push updates over the air, saving your team hours of on-site maintenance.
You can use Edge Manager’s built-in container support to deploy and manage containerised Docker applications like Grafana dashboards, InfluxDB and Timescale right where the data is generated.
You can even run machine learning models fully locally on the factory floor. This gives you real-time feedback and control without any latency or security issues related to the cloud.
We love building modular, best-of-breed architectures, but there's a strong case for an all-in-one approach if you want to avoid vendor sprawl. Litmus UNS is an optional add-on that acts as an enterprise-grade MQTT broker, neatly collecting and contextualising the structured data from all your Litmus Edge instances. It provides a secure and event-driven single source of truth that integrates with your IT systems and cloud platforms.
Want to see what an enterprise-scale edge platform actually feels like? You can get started with the Litmus Edge Developer Edition for free. It gives you full access to test every feature and build real data pipelines with your own devices. The only limitation is that it resets every two hours.
We also recommend checking out the Digital Factory Demo, which lets you spin up a simulated factory environment so you can safely play around with the platform. Using this demo requires an active licence, but you can use the 14-day trial licence of the Foundation edition.
