When embedded within the Edge Xpert Device Service layer, Edge XRT can be configured to apply local filtering, perform decision making and run pluggable analytics/control algorithms all within the context of a southbound connector. Processing can be performed before the data is passed to other Edge Xpert services, supporting significantly higher frequency and lower latency control over edge devices than was previously feasible.

Only available from IOTech, these advanced capabilities enable the integration of an increasing number of industrial endpoints and allows Edge Xpert to support systems with deterministic processing requirements.

Edge Xpert v1.6 also includes all of the key features from the EdgeX Fuji release:

• Improved security including the safe storage of microservice secrets in isolated secret stores and improved PKI management
• Store and Forward functionality supporting the retention of data and subsequent re-transmission during periods of northbound disconnection
• Improved Application Services and an SDK for easily adding new northbound integrations
• Quality improvements through additional EdgeX Foundry™ unit and black box testing

"The latest Edge Xpert release represents significant progress in the evolution of this ground breaking product," said Keith Steele, founder and IOTech CEO. "The new features that have been added extend the suitability of the platform to a new range of time-critical IoT use cases. Even in the most demanding deployments, the advanced capabilities included in this release will ensure that the technology can be deployed with confidence and at scale."
