Reference architecture

One delivery architecture from device access to business automation

The architecture is modular: use only the device, edge, platform, AI, or integration layers required by the project.

1

Devices and sensors

Collect physical state, control points, events, and operating signals.

Interfaces and point table
2

Embedded control

Run drivers, local logic, communication, diagnostics, and OTA-capable firmware.

Firmware and source package
3

Edge gateway

Handle protocol conversion, buffering, local rules, edge AI, and remote logs.

Gateway and protocol modules
4

ZedIoT platform

Manage devices, roles, alarms, work orders, dashboards, reports, and APIs.

Platform and operations console
5

AI automation

Apply recognition, knowledge search, analysis, and workflow orchestration.

AI models and workflow apps
6

Business systems

Connect ERP, WMS, MES, CRM, helpdesk, or customer-owned platforms.

Business integration loop
Selection guide

Choose the implementation path from device conditions

Start with the interface, controller, network, and workflow constraints. Then validate the highest-risk path before expanding the system.

View development services →
Project condition Recommended path Main delivery
Device has RS485 / RS232 or vendor protocol External connectivity terminal or gateway Converter, protocol adapter, platform access
Controller firmware can be upgraded Embedded connectivity retrofit Firmware, communication, OTA, diagnostics
Multiple brands need unified operations Edge gateway and device model Protocol mapping, model design, operations platform
Weak network or local response is required Edge computing design Local rules, buffering, recovery, edge AI runtime
Existing data needs AI automation AI workflow and system integration LLM apps, workflow automation, business APIs
Implementation path

Validate one critical path first, then scale the solution

Projects can start from one device, one protocol, one AI workflow, or one business integration before full rollout.

  1. 01

    Scenario and device review

    Clarify business goals, device condition, field constraints, and success criteria.

  2. 02

    Protocol and data mapping

    Define interfaces, point tables, data flows, permissions, and integration boundaries.

  3. 03

    PoC validation

    Validate the highest-risk communication, AI, edge, or system-integration path first.

  4. 04

    System development and integration

    Build device, edge, platform, AI, application, and business-system modules in stages.

  5. 05

    Pilot deployment and acceptance

    Test real workflows, abnormal states, recovery, security, and operating handoff.

  6. 06

    Scale and operations

    Support batch rollout, OTA, monitoring, maintenance, documentation, and continuous iteration.

Questions before a solution project

Start with constraints, not assumptions

Even if documentation is incomplete, a sample device, target workflow, and current system boundary are enough to begin evaluation.

Do we need to replace the existing controller?

Not always. We first evaluate serial ports, bus interfaces, extension options, enclosure constraints, and field installation conditions before recommending a retrofit, gateway, or controller upgrade.

Can devices be integrated without complete protocol documents?

Sometimes. We can evaluate sample devices, existing software, packet captures, and field tests, but complete protocol documentation reduces project risk and validation time.

Can different device brands be managed in one platform?

Yes. We use protocol adapters, unified device models, gateways, and platform rules to normalize different brands, models, and operating workflows.

Can the solution connect to ERP, MES, WMS, CRM, or ticketing systems?

Yes. Integration can use APIs, webhooks, message queues, databases, or middleware, with clear rules for direction, permissions, failure retry, and data ownership.

Can AI run on edge devices or inside a private network?

Yes. The right deployment mode depends on model size, latency, privacy, hardware resources, and the operations team that will maintain it.

Can we start with a smaller PoC?

Yes. We usually recommend starting with representative devices and one critical workflow before committing to full platform development or batch rollout.
