Nexus Edge OS

Edge OS is the brain of the Nexus ecosystem. It runs directly on industrial gateways (ARM/x86) and manages the entire data lifecycle from collection to forwarding.

Key Capabilities

🔌 Southbound Connectivity

Connect to diverse industrial assets with built-in drivers:

Modbus TCP/RTU: Standard protocol for PLCs.
MQTT: For modern IoT sensors.
OPC UA: For enterprise-grade machine integration.
S7: For Siemens PLC connectivity.

🧠 Intelligent Processing

Rule Engine: Define “If-This-Then-That” logic for local automation (e.g., “Stop pump if temperature > 80°C”).
AI Integration: Use local or cloud-based AI (like Gemini) to analyze data patterns.

📊 Visualization

Built-in web dashboard for:

Real-time data monitoring.
Historical trend analysis.
Drag-and-drop SCADA builder.

Architecture

Edge OS is built with a decoupled architecture:

Backend (Node.js): Handles drivers, data persistence (SQLite), and API serving.
Frontend (React + Vite): Provides the management UI and SCADA visualization.

Running Locally

To start Edge OS in development mode:


pnpm --filter nexus-edge-os dev
