Access Your Data in Real-time

Red Lion’s FlexEdge® Intelligent Edge Automation Platform, powered by Crimson®, gives industrial organizations the complete, scalable access they need to take full advantage of all the industrial data embedded in your operations. It provides the critical features industrial companies need to bridge their current manufacturing and production systems with older equipment using legacy data protocols:

  • Powerful data access capabilities
  • Trusted cybersecurity features
  • All-in-one programming environment eliminates multiple configuration tools

 

The FlexEdge platform has been engineered for fast, efficient deployment in existing networks — and the faster you can deploy its capabilities, the quicker you can start leveraging the value of your industrial data. When you unlock this data, real-time monitoring enables improved control and operational performance. FlexEdge provides a smart, secure, scalable solution to easily integrate complex multi-vendor environments into digital transformation strategies, while providing a modular, future-proof edge computing solution that is easy to change and upgrade as new requirements develop.
