Introducing Privitty Edge: Where Machine Data Flows Freely, and Access Never Does
Industrial machines generate more insight than most teams ever see. Not because the data isn't there, but because getting to it safely has always meant a trade-off between security and visibility. Privitty Edge changes that. A lightweight, secure edge agent that sits on your factory gateway, connects your OT assets via OPC UA, and puts real-time machine data and remote access in the hands of the right people, without opening a single inbound firewall port.
Secure Remote Access, Without the Risk
Operators and engineers can reach HMIs, PLCs, and machines from anywhere in the world through an end-to-end encrypted tunnel. No VPN, no exposed ports, no public IP. Just click, connect, and work, with every session logged, time-limited, and revocable by the admin in real time.
Real-Time Machine Data via OPC UA
Privitty Edge runs a native OPC UA client on the gateway, subscribing to live tag changes directly from your machines. Process values, machine states, production counters, digital I/O, collected, timestamped, and forwarded securely to Watchtower or your MES without polling delays or middleware in the way.
Intelligent Alarms That Actually Mean Something
From threshold breaches on individual tags to native PLC alarms via OPC UA Alarms & Conditions (Part 9), Privitty Edge captures what matters and routes it to the right person on their Privitty App, with context, severity, and an AI-suggested remedy, not just a raw alert.
AI-Powered Monitoring with Watchtower
Every alarm, log, and machine event flows into Watchtower, Privitty's monitoring layer, where AI analyses patterns across your fleet, flags anomalies, and suggests remedies before a small issue becomes downtime. Your team spends less time chasing alerts and more time acting on insight.
Built for the Factory Floor, Trusted by IT
Privitty Edge runs on standard Linux gateway hardware, including a Raspberry Pi, with a footprint under 70 MB at peak. It is built in Rust for reliability and security, certified for IEC 62443 environments, and designed so OT teams can deploy it without needing IT to open firewall rules or reconfigure the network.
