What is ubiworx?
ubiworx™ is a software technology that enables IoT for integration into solutions. It runs on embedded systems to form IoT Gateways that bridge sensors and actuators to data storage and reporting systems in the cloud to form complete end-to-end IoT enabled solutions..

and Process Data
Manage devices
and Collect Information
How it works
Using user-programmable rules, ubiworx™ processes sensor data to produce a valuable range of information and events which can be uploaded to cloud services or used to control actuators and machines.
ubiworx key features
ubiworx provides the intelligence and communication capability that enables Linux based embedded systems to function as secure and robust IoT gateways. Key features include:
Sensors Data Acquisition
Acquire data from wired and wireless sources such as motion, light and energy sensors.
Rules Engine and Actuator Control
Control connected devices via wired and wireless actuators, e.g. electrical motors and relays.
Data Aggregation and Analytics
Locally aggregate and analyse sensor data to produce information and events.
Secure
Device
Secure the gateway and its software using device authentication, encrypted data storage and signed tamper-proof software.
Secure
Communications
Secure all communication with external systems using device authentication, encrypted network connections and encrypted data transmission.
Store and
Forward
Locally store information and events in the gateway before forwarding them to cloud services.
Device
Management
Remotely manage the gateway through cloud services, computers and smartphones.
Cloud Service Connectivity
Connect to ubiworx and/or 3rd party cloud services, both private and public.
ubiworx Technical Specifications
As a core component of IoT Gateways, ubiworx connects gateways to many types of sensor and actuator devices via “southbound” interfaces and to private monitoring/control systems and cloud services via “northbound” interfaces. The table below lists the supported interface types. Our engineering team will work with customers to adapt ubiworx to facilitate any unsupported interface types.
