Industrial IoT Platform - Nerve
POA
POA
The current industrial machine automation sector is facing a rigid infrastructure that was not designed to follow the constantly changing demands of business. Nerve from TTTech is an Industrial IoT platform that is made with this issue in mind, acting as a bridge between a business and their machines.
Key Features of the Nerve Platform
Nerve is designed to minimise expenses and implement new value for businesses in the industrial machine automation sector, including machine builders, system integrators and plant owners. This platform consists of three closely incorporated components that build on solutions established by TTTech alongside key technology partner and fog computing pioneer Nebbiolo Technologies. The three components are fogNode™ edge computing devices, fogOS™ real-time operating system and middleware orchestration, and fogSM™ centralised system management software.
Nerve functions across multiple layers of the classical machine automation pyramid and is capable of amalgamating functions to the extent that old boundaries become merged or are no longer applicable. With its incorporated fog computing architecture, Nerve works as an open platform for data to be accessed, stored and processed anywhere from the edge to the cloud.
The Four Key Feature Areas of Nerve Drives:
Resource Virtualisation
Companies in the industrial sector can utilise Nerve virtualisation technology that will make their hardware work more efficiently. Sharing computation resources across multiple operating systems and applications allows businesses to use them all on one device.
Data Connectivity
Nerve allows machine builders and plant operators to use data across three locations: on devices, on a local server and on the cloud. This provides them with the freedom to select where they store their visualised or processed data.
Open Interoperability
Nerve is a platform that was made with openness, interoperability and flexibility in mind, allowing businesses to be vendor independent and have the freedom to select the solutions that will best fulfil their requirements. Nerve allows businesses to create, deploy and run their own applications without having a lock-in contract with a single source or vendor.
Centralised Management
Nerve works in conjunction with the fogSM system manager to allow users to use installed devices and apply software updates to machines without having to be at the worksite. This also gives users additional operational flexibility and minimises how much support and maintenance is required.

FAQs
- What are Nerve’s integrated elements?
Nerve comprises three tightly integrated elements that build on solutions developed by TTTech in conjunction with key technology partner and fog computing pioneer Nebbiolo Technologies. The three elements are fogNode™ edge computing devices, fogOS™ real-time operating system and middleware orchestration, and fogSM™ centralized system management software.
In what areas does Nerve drive value for customers?Nerve drives value in resource virtualisation, data connectivity, open interoperability, and centralised management.
What are Nerve’s benefits?- The Edge Hosting module, which allows the customer to run multiple applications in the form of docker containers and virtual machines side-by-side on standard industrial hardware at the edge and manage them remotely from the cloud.
- The Data Services module, which supports the customer with creating analytics and visualisation applications and with moving data between sensors and the cloud.
- The Remote Services module, which offers a range of features that enable the customer to remotely connect to workloads and devices in the field.
- The Soft PLC module, which can be used to run machine control workloads on standard industrial hardware and access fieldbus-level sensors and actuators.
Independent of which module a customer licenses, Nerve offers a set of base features that provide a secure foundation for managing Nerve's software and devices.
Where does Nerve operate across the classical automation pyramid and to what purpose?Nerve operates across multiple layers of the classical automation pyramid and is capable of converging functions to the extent that old boundaries are merged or no longer apply.
