João Francisco
Business Developer

As a Business Developer at Domatica, I’m passionate about building strong relationships and understanding our clients' unique needs. My focus is on delivering tailored IoT solutions through Domatica’s EasyEdge technology, ensuring our clients can achieve their goals efficiently and effectively. By bridging the gap between innovative technology and real-world applications, I strive to help businesses unlock the full potential of IoT, driving success and creating lasting value.

Connecting legacy assets to modern cloud platforms is a critical challenge. However, bridging the gap between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) doesn’t have to be complicated.

Domatica’s EasyEdge offers a seamless solution, integrating directly with AWS IoT SiteWise to provide a robust edge-to-cloud data connectivity framework. This combination simplifies the process of gathering data from legacy systems, enabling smart manufacturing and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) projects with minimal configuration.

As highlighted by Siemens Energy’s use of AWS IoT SiteWise, the integration between EasyEdge and AWS IoT SiteWise allows factories to easily collect data from diverse legacy PLCs, including popular protocols like Siemens S7, Modbus, and more. The intuitive, easy-to-use user interface of EasyEdge ensures that factory operators can effortlessly onboard and connect assets, even in environments with complex legacy systems.

This native integration brings significant advantages:

  • Eliminates third-party protocol converters: Factory floors no longer need external solutions to manage data from diverse PLCs. EasyEdge standardizes the edge deployment process directly on AWS IoT SiteWise.
  • Reduces complexity: The combined solution streamlines the deployment process, lowering operational overhead and making it easier to scale IIoT initiatives.
  • Speeds up onboarding: EasyEdge’s simple setup and smooth integration significantly shorten the time to get factory assets online and start collecting actionable data.

Thanks to EasyEdge, enterprises can bring the power of the cloud to their factory floors while reducing the complexity and overhead traditionally associated with integrating legacy equipment.
