Architecture

The three layers of smart2i architecture.

From the signal at the machine to analysis in the cloud. Cleanly separated into three layers so each can scale and be swapped independently.

smart2i · 3-tier architecture
Hardware

smart2i:gateway

An industrial edge device for collecting, aggregating and transmitting process data from machine networks. It acts as an interface between Operational Technology (OT) and smart2i:cloud.

The gateway reads data streams directly from the machine controllers. The data collected is processed locally, encrypted using TLS, and transmitted to the cloud platform via MQTT.

Interfaces & Protocols

  • Native protocols: OPC UA & MQTT
  • Fieldbus integration: ProfiNET, TCP/IP, etc.
  • Control systems: Access to common machine control systems

Performance & Data Security

  • Data throughput: up to 30,000 signals per second
  • Security: Transmission via TLS only
  • Reliability: Store & Forward in the event of a connection failure

Minimally invasive integration. No changes to the system logic. Implementation without downtime.

Platform

smart2i:cloud

smart2i is a powerful desktop application and also runs as a progressive web app on mobile devices. Latency of less than two seconds from signal change to dashboard display.

Production data is stored with millisecond precision, without lossy compression. Validated at 30,000 signals per second.

Installation takes just a few hours, is carried out remotely, and requires no production downtime. Multiple sites can work on dashboards simultaneously. The data belongs to the customer and can be exported at any time.

Live push, no polling

  • Signal changes are actively pushed to the browser, without polling.
  • Only changed signals are transmitted. Targeted, resource-friendly, real-time.

Distributed processing

  • Large data volumes are distributed across multiple servers and processed in parallel.
  • Horizontally scalable: more load simply means more capacity.
  • Computing power and storage grow flexibly.

Big-data storage

  • Optimised combination of fast time-series database and object storage.
  • Scalable storage capacity without a fixed limit.
  • Historical data permanently available. Without lossy compression.
Roadmap

Quality Assistant + Production Assistant

Built on the high-frequency data from the layers below: dedicated assistants for early detection of quality drift, hints on optimal machine parameters and less scrap on the line.
