What is the N3uron platform? Is N3uron suitable for Industrial IoT solutions?

What is N3uron Platform?

N3uron is an industrial edge platform developed by N3uron Connectivity Systems (founded in 2018, Spain), focusing on providing solutions for industrial automation and data management. Through its modular architecture, it integrates data acquisition, processing, visualization, and delivery functions to help enterprises optimize operations, reduce downtime, and enhance data-driven decision-making capabilities. N3uron is widely used in industries such as power and utilities, oil and gas, manufacturing, and building automation.

Core Features of the N3uron Industrial IoT Platform

Modular Architecture

• Provides multiple integrated software modules for data acquisition, processing, storage, and visualization. Users can flexibly build systems by selecting modules based on needs.

  Key modules:

  • Data Acquisition (supports OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT, etc.).

  • Historian (historical data storage).

  • Alarm Management.

  • Web Vision (real-time dashboards).

• Supports unlimited clients, tags, and connections for scalable expansion.

Edge Computing & Local Data Processing

• Enables real-time data processing near the source, reducing latency and improving reliability.

• Customizable logic execution for task-specific algorithms and workflows.

Seamless Integration & Protocol Support

• Connects to PLCs, RTUs, and data loggers via industrial protocols (OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT, DNP3, IEC 104, BACnet, etc.).

• Integrates with cloud/IT systems via MQTT and Sparkplug, breaking data silos.

Data Standardization & Management

• Ensures data consistency through normalization and contextualization.

• Supports high-performance storage (MongoDB, SQL databases) with compression to reduce storage needs.

Web Interface & Visualization

• Browser-based WebUI for configuration, monitoring, and operation from any device.

• Web Vision module allows customizable real-time dashboards.

Security

• Utilizes TLS encryption, HTTPS, and digital certificates for secure data transmission.

• Firewall-friendly design with no need for open ports or static IPs.

High Scalability & Redundancy

• Distributed architecture for multi-site deployments using encrypted N3uron Links.

• Redundant architecture (primary/backup nodes) ensures high availability (since version 1.21).

Rapid Deployment

• Out-of-the-box solution with modules configurable in minutes.

• Compatible with Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi, and Docker containers.
