About CloudRail

CloudRail is the "express lane" for Industrial 4.0. It excels at solving the hardest part of IIoT: getting data out of a dirty factory environment and into a clean cloud dashboard.

CloudRail is the "express lane" for Industrial 4.0. It excels at solving the hardest part of IIoT: getting data out of a dirty factory environment and into a clean cloud dashboard. By removing the need for traditional PLC programming, CloudRail empowers IT and Digital Transformation teams to launch data-driven projects in record time. It is an essential tool for manufacturers who want to focus on data analysis and optimization rather than the headaches of industrial wiring and protocol conversion.

Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Reduces the need for expensive system integrators or specialized PLC developers.
  • The cloud management tool makes it easy to go from one pilot sensor to thousands of machines.
  • Supports a wide range of hardware manufacturers
Cons
  • Primarily focused on IO-Link and requires additional adapters for older legacy protocols.
  • It is strictly for data extraction rather than control
  • Requires the purchase of specific CloudRail-compatible edge gateways.

Features

Key features

Edge Processing

Local processing on the gateway to filter or aggregate data before it is sent to the cloud, saving bandwidth.

Direct-to-Cloud Pipeline

Bypasses traditional PLC/SCADA layers to send data directly to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.

Centralized Device Management

Manage and update firmware for thousands of edge gateways from a single cloud-based dashboard.

Automated Data Normalization

Converts raw sensor data into readable JSON formats compatible with cloud applications.

Plug-and-Play Connectivity

Automatically recognizes IO-Link sensors from various manufacturers, eliminating the need for manual driver installation or PLC programming.

Additional features

Diagnostic Tools

Real-time visibility into gateway health and sensor connectivity status.

Custom Payload Design

Tools to define exactly what data points are sent to the cloud to optimize storage costs.

No-Code Configuration

Allows maintenance teams or IT staff to set up industrial data streams without writing code.

Security & Encryption

Provides end-to-end encryption and secure provisioning using X.509 certificates.

Local Data Buffering

Saves data locally if the internet connection is lost and syncs once restored.

Sensor Library

A massive database of pre-built configurations for sensors from brands like IFM, Balluff, and Turck.
