Device connection architecture
Robomap architecture for connecting PLCs, RTUs, industrial sites, edge gateways, and cloud applications.
Secure, scalable connectivity from industrial devices to dashboards, APIs, analytics, and third-party systems.
Industrial sites
OT network
Edge gateway
- Secure connectivity
- Protocol drivers
- Data normalization
- Local buffering
TLS 1.2+MQTT / HTTPS
Robomap.ai cloud platform
Cloud applications
MES, ERP, CMMS
CSV, Parquet, SQL
How the connection works
- Connect PLCs, RTUs, robots, or industrial equipment to an edge gateway on the OT network.
- Normalize device protocols and buffer data locally when connectivity is interrupted.
- Send encrypted telemetry to Robomap using MQTT or HTTPS over TLS 1.2+.
- Use the Robomap platform for ingestion, storage, analytics, alerts, dashboards, APIs, and exports.
Recommended security baseline
- Segment OT and IT networks and expose only the gateway outbound path.
- Use encrypted transport, credential rotation, and least-privilege API credentials.
- Monitor gateway health, ingestion status, and alert delivery from the cloud platform.
Key benefits
- Rapid deployment — no-code oriented setup for many device types
- Secure end-to-end — TLS in transit and least-privilege credentials
- Scalable — from a single site edge gateway to multi-site cloud
- Real-time visibility — dashboards, alerts, and exports for decisions
