OPC Router Docker Support for Edge Computing & Multiplatform Scalability

Deploy OPC Router to Edge Devices for Action At the Data Source 

Process your data at the edge by deploying OPC Router to Docker containers on edge computing devices close to data sources where latencies are shorter, response times faster, and hardware costs are lower.  Realize your DevOps and CI/CD goals using support for Kubernetes, script based deployment, and more. Docker support is included in all OPC Router licenses for supported features and plug-ins. License what you need, choose where you run it. 

OPC Router's most common functions including OPC UA connections, databases, files, SAP Plug-Ins, visual workflows, REST, MQTT, IoT, database connectivity and more are supported on edge computing devices.  The only features not supported are ones bound to Windows technology which are few, for example OPC DA.  

Docker Instance Configuration

OPC Router provides an assisted setup that limits the amount of information required to create a docker instance and deploy OPC Router.  Just provide the Docker host address and login and OPC Router does the rest. 

For power users and advanced configurations, a manual configuration option is provided. 

OPC Router can also optionally deploy a Docker Portainer Management Container to your edge devices automatically.
