IoT is simpler when you're plgd in

Design your system

Choose your network architecture; interoperate with a common data model and no vendor lock in.

Establish a foundation

Create your device API foundation with the same API paradigm in IoT as that which revolutionized the web.

Build secure

Without your writing a single line of code, comprehensive security measures are in place end to end.

See clearly

We don't impose analytics and apps on you. You simply plug in with APIs and integrations to see device data.

Scale

Scale the plgd hub instance from entry-level hardware to a fully managed plgd hub, with zero touch provisioning.

Deployment freedom driven by your use cases

Device to Device

Device to Device

Low latency, no scaling limits, security critical coverage without any need for a protocol gateway.

Edge

Edge

Process data locally to enable devices to react faster. Confine reach of data for security and reliability.

On Premise

On Premise

Full data governance and compliance within your own firewall. Full control over configuration. No reliance on the internet.

Cloud

Cloud

Hand storage and computing to your preferred cloud provider. Rapidly scale or reduce resources in response to your business need.

Device to Device

Device to Device

Low latency, no scaling limits, security critical coverage without any need for a protocol gateway.

Discovery
Built-in capability for discovery of resources and services, important for interoperability in machine-to-machine applications.
Internet Standard
Built with CoAP, a RESTful protocol that uses key concepts from the web to communicate between constrained nodes on IP-based networks.
Security
Secure ownership transfer, ACLs, end-to-end encryption, all other open security standards, and more.
Edge

Edge

Process data locally to enable devices to react faster. Confine reach of data for security and reliability.

Scalability
Components scale with your use cases to support hundreds of thousands of nodes without any need for a data center or complex infrastructure.
AuthZ and AuthN
Support for Manufacturer and Identity Certificates, TPM, OAuth2.0, and ACLs to ensure your IoT nodes communicate only with trusted entities.
Trusted Zones
Manage your IoT nodes beyond device-to-device range, from your company’s trusted zones.
On Premise

On Premise

Full data governance and compliance within your own firewall. Full control over configuration. No reliance on the internet.

Device Twin
Persistent device representation available to the application even if the device is offline. Update the representation and it will synchronise when the device is back online.
Multitenancy
Securely serve your application to multiple customers while maintaining only one hub instance supporting multitenancy.
Monitoring
Monitor security and resource utilisation, and diagnose issues, at the system component level.
Cloud

Cloud

Hand storage and computing to your preferred cloud provider. Rapidly scale or reduce resources in response to your business need.

Cloud Agnostic
Our cloud-agnostic approach allows you to choose your favorite cloud provider and enjoy seamless deployment, no matter where your data resides.
Zero Touch Provisioning
No need for users to configure devices or enter data. Fully automated provisioning using manufacturer certificates and enrolment groups.
Decentralised IoT
Our decentralised architecture gives you the freedom to communicate with devices locally or through the cloud, providing you with deployment flexibility and control over your data.
"plgd gives us a cloud native framework to control our optical modules. Building blocks support deployment options from network host controller to public cloud, and it's scaleable. The plgd team are great partners, helping validate the reference architecture, and collaborating to enhance the plgd framework."
Dharmendra Naik Sr. Director, System Architecture
"plgd's secure, interoperable IoT platform is foundational to the successful digitization of our Measurement Chain. The technology supports our strategic initiative "from sensor to the cloud". With its multiple deployment capabilities and open API's, plgd enables comprehensive applications of our measurement devices across Kistler products and services."
Karl Leu Head of Software Development
"plgd is a shining example of the vision for which the Open Connectivity Foundation was created. Together, we have spent the last several years creating a totally free and certifiable open standard for IoT interoperability. The plgd team has been a very active member and has contributed code and expertise generously to the organization."
J. Clarke Stevens Technical Group Chair, Open Connectivity Foundation
