With manubes, you can connect a wide variety of production systems, including machines, devices, databases, analytics software and web services to the cloud-based infrastructure in just a few steps. To enable secure connections with local production sites, manubes utilizes Edge Nodes that can be installed in local networks and allow for a bidirectional data exchange between systems in those networks and the manubes cloud environment.

After the installation of an Edge Node in the network of the target system, users can create an Edge Connector, select the type of connection (e.g. OPC UA or MySQL database) and fill in the required connection data. Afterwards, the system is available in manubes as a data source.
