Problem
Industrial plants often rely on legacy 8‑bit sensors that communicate via Modbus RTU and lack the capability to interface with modern IIoT platforms. Integrating these devices typically requires costly hardware replacements, protocol gateways, or cloud offload solutions, which increase capital expense and network load.
Solution
VantEdge delivers a software‑only edge intelligence platform that transforms the raw 8‑bit output of existing sensors into 32‑bit quality data suitable for contemporary analytics. Its patented four‑stage signal‑processing pipeline reconstructs sub‑LSB fidelity while compressing each sample by 80%, reducing bandwidth without sacrificing accuracy. The solution runs on the sensor’s existing edge hardware, eliminating the need for any physical upgrades or additional gateways. Processed data can be streamed directly to IIoT systems using standard protocols, enabling legacy equipment to participate in modern AI‑driven workflows.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers and process industries that operate legacy sensor networks and need to integrate those assets into modern IIoT and AI analytics platforms without incurring hardware replacement costs.
Features
- Patent‑pending four‑stage pipeline that converts 8‑bit sensor output to 32‑bit intelligence with mathematically bounded reconstruction fidelity
