AnyLog Edge Data Fabric

One distributed data and ontology layer across your industrial operations

Deploy AnyLog at the edge to give applications and AI unified, real-time access to operational data, metadata, and relationships across machines, plants, and sites — without first moving or centralizing the data.

Why it fits

Your data stays under your control

AnyLog nodes can run inside your firewall and enforce access policies locally. The P2P network makes data across sites available to authorized users and applications without moving raw data into a central platform. You decide where the data lives and who can query it.

Security

AnyLog nodes can run inside your firewall, keeping data at its source. Nodes communicate through authenticated, encrypted P2P connections, and each node enforces its own access policies.

Data ownership

You keep the bits, the IP, and the topology. Partners and models get access to answers, not custody of the source. The operator owns the data for as long as it exists.

Data privacy

Plant operations, municipal telemetry, and customer operations never have to leave the premises to be useful. Privacy is enforced by location, not by hoping a cloud contract holds.

What you deploy

Software agents that run where your data lives

AnyLog agents sit on the factory floor, in a substation, on a vehicle, or in on-prem servers. They connect sources, publish metadata, and join a peer network that answers queries as if the data were centralized. First use case in days. Expand without copying the plant to the cloud.

  • Deployment measured in days — start with one machine, line, or plant
  • Auto-generated Distributed UNS and Edge Knowledge Graph
  • Scale horizontally and incrementally as deployments expand

Time to value

Deployment measured in days

Move from one use case to a scalable, multi-site deployment through four simple steps.

  1. 01 Deploy AnyLog

    Run AnyLog agents on existing edge devices and servers. Data is stored and processed locally.

  2. 02 Connect your data

    Use AnyLog’s southbound connectors for PLCs, sensors, MQTT brokers, historians, databases, and APIs.

  3. 03 Define the UNS logically

    Define any number of logical namespaces by asset, location, or relationship—without routing or centralizing the data through a broker.

  4. 04 Scale horizontally across sites

    Repeat Step 1 to expand. Each new node joins the same logical system without rebuilding applications or central pipelines.

Knowledge graph

Bring the Knowledge Graph to the production floor

AnyLog combines a Unified Namespace (UNS) with a Distributed Knowledge Graph, so applications and AI understand not only the values, but how assets, processes, locations, and systems relate to each other.

Traverse the bottling UNS, select paths, and read live values on the graph.
