Run Intelligent Operations at the Edge—Where Control Meets Compute

PACEdge Software powers a new class of industrial edge computing that transforms Emerson's Industrial PCs (IPCs) and PACSystems CPE400-Series Controllers into intelligent, high-performance edge nodes. By unifying control, real-time data processing, and containerized applications, PACEdge enables scalable, AI-ready operations across distributed assets.

A Unified Edge Platform for Data-Intensive Industrial Applications

Enable users to run applications, process data, and integrate systems directly at the edge–eliminating the need for separate gateways, servers, and integration layers, without disrupting existing control systems.

PACEdge breaks down traditional data silos with:

  • Containerized application runtime for industrial workloads
  • Local data processing and edge analytics
  • Seamless IT/OT integration at the control layer

Result: A unified edge platform that supports scalable, data-intensive IIoT solutions–connecting OT and IT environments while meeting modern requirements for cybersecurity, communications, and application deployment.

Real-Time Intelligence in a Simplified Architecture

Consolidate control and compute into a single, secure platform that easily scales to meet evolving needs.

A Scalable Edge-to-Enterprise Architecture

PACEdge Software helps bridge OT and IT into a single, scalable environment to reduce cost and increase visibility.

Features

  • All components necessary in the IIoT application lifecycle are brought together in one package with a unified interface
  • Drag-and-drop programming for intuitive development
  • Ensures security of operational data and allows secure interaction with IT and cloud applications
  • Powerful visualization and analysis toolset
  • Application samples included to get you running out of the box
  • Curated standard node sets in Node-RED
  • Integrated with Emerson's Industrial PCs and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)
  • Group Management option enables updates to up to 100 projects from a single device
