about the Platform
Your data, your Azure platform, your future
We believe in open eco-systems and that vendor lock-in is a strategy from an old era. That is why Beacon Tower is built with open APIs, open data models and unlimited integration possibilities in Microsoft Azure. We make it easy to inject data and just as easy to analyse it the way you prefer. You can also license the platform and manage development yourself.
SaaS yet 100% customisable
Beacon Tower is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) that can be exported to your Azure cloud environment as an accelerator solution to safely kick-start your company’s Industrial IoT journey.
Cloud power to all assets
Beacon Tower normalises proprietary data models using open standards, which simplify your asset management and analytics pipeline. Beacon Tower collects, normalises, structures and presents data from any device, asset or automation system.
Bridging devices, OT and IT
Beacon Tower connects sensors, devices, PLCs, DCS, SCADA, ERP and MES to gain maximum automation flexibility and prevent vendor lock-in.
Beacon Tower background
Beacon Tower is the result of numerous large and small-scale custom IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) projects implemented in recent years by Glaze on Microsoft Azure IoT Cloud. It utilises an IIoT-specific architecture of cloud native services and technology-leading, open-source components, thoroughly tested and carefully selected. Because of its structure it can be scaled to be utilised by enterprises with thousands of assets as well as companies with only a few connected devices.
Beacon Tower focuses on security and being able to operate in industrial environments with Edge Computing and flexible deployment & integration possibilities.
