Industrial Controller with Embedded Linux

Modern infrastructure – spanning industrial facilities, solar energy parks, and commercial buildings – requires increasingly intelligent and scalable solutions to manage diverse systems such as HVAC, security, lighting, and energy monitoring. However, the landscape is fragmented, with many legacy systems lacking interoperability, remote access, or real-time insights.

The key challenges include:

• System Fragmentation: Integrating various third-party devices, sensors, and platforms into a unified management interface remains complex and costly.
• Vendor Lock-In: Furthermore, many vendors limit integrations exclusively to their own ecosystems – for example, their proprietary inverters, BESS systems, or solar panels – restricting flexibility and hindering broader system optimization.
• Operational Inefficiencies: Manual site visits, reactive maintenance, and unavailable data contribute to elevated costs and slower response times.
• Limited Adaptability: Conventional controllers often lack support for modern protocols, cloud integration, or remote configuration, making them unsuitable for evolving operational needs.
• Deployment Constraints: Many existing solutions fail to accommodate the spatial, functional, or aesthetic requirements of diverse environments – from rugged industrial sites to residential buildings.

Addressing these challenges demands a flexible, intelligent, and design-conscious solution – one capable of bridging legacy infrastructure with the demands of modern digital operations.

baseSAFE integrates advanced technologies to manage and interface with a wide range of sensors, actuators, and external systems – including ventilation units, security cameras, and more. It can also function as an intrusion alarm panel and is equipped with an external backup battery to ensure uninterrupted operation.

Powered by a tiny Linux operating system, baseSAFE supports a variety of application protocols and interfaces, offering exceptional adaptability across diverse use cases.

With Ethernet connectivity, baseSAFE operates as a powerful edge IoT device that connects to a centralized cloud platform. This enables real-time monitoring, remote configuration, and unified control of all connected baseSAFE devices across multiple sites.

The device is housed in a custom-designed enclosure, allowing for easy DIN-rail mounting in settings ranging from solar energy parks to residential and commercial buildings. Beyond its technical capabilities, baseSAFE stands out with a refined, modern aesthetic – courtesy of our industrial designer’s elegant and functional design language.
