EdgeX Foundry is an open source, vendor neutral, Edge IoT middleware platform, under the LF Edge umbrella.

It collects data from sensors (i.e. “things”) at the Edge and acts as a dual transformation engine sending and receiving data to and from enterprise, cloud, and on-premise applications. EdgeX enables autonomous operations and intelligence (AI) at the Edge.

Why EdgeX?

Preferred open platform for the edge

With millions of container downloads, supported by a growing community of developers and vendors creating an ecosystem of interoperable components.

Maximize choice

EdgeX Foundry is open source and vendor neutral which provides more options relative to proprietary solutions. Silicon, HW, OS, SW and Cloud agnostic.

Focus on value add

Plug and play distributed microservices software architecture enables users/developers to focus on value creation. Ability to add your own analytics and connectors.

Reduce cost, risk and time to market

Leverage community resources, simplify the integration of new and legacy devices/applications and avoid creating your own middleware.

Support Innovation

Key enabler for community collaboration and creation of next generation secure, intelligent (AI/ML), low latency and autonomous edge solutions for any use case.

Realize edge computing benefits

Ensure security and reduce transmission costs by processing locally and by exposing selected data to the Cloud. Achieve real-time results despite intermittent connectivity and simplify OT/IT integration.
