In today’s industrial automation landscape, flexibility, speed, and scalability are essential. That’s where AVEVA™ Edge stands out—an advanced HMI SCADA software solution purpose-built for cross-platform deployment. Whether you’re developing for an industrial panel PC, a Windows server, or a lightweight embedded edge device, AVEVA Edge empowers you to develop once and deploy anywhere.

What Makes AVEVA Edge Portable?
AVEVA Edge is designed with portability and interoperability at its core. It supports a wide range of operating systems including Windows, Linux, Windows CE, and VxWorks, making it ideal for deploying applications on diverse hardware—from traditional HMIs to headless industrial edge computing nodes.
With AVEVA Edge, developers can build a single HMI or SCADA application and deploy it across multiple platforms without needing to rewrite code. This drastically reduces development time and maintenance effort, while increasing system flexibility.
Lightweight for the Edge, Powerful for the Enterprise
The compact design of AVEVA Edge makes it a perfect fit for embedded HMI deployment and edge environments where processing power and storage are limited. Despite its small footprint, it delivers robust capabilities including:
Real-time data visualization
Built-in alarm management
Secure remote access via HTML5 web thin clients
Built-in drivers for over 250 communication protocols
OPC UA, MQTT, and SQL database integration
This feature set ensures full SCADA-level functionality, even on the smallest edge devices.

Remote Access and Mobility for Smart Operations
In an era of mobile-first operations, AVEVA Edge enables remote HMI access using any HTML5-compatible browser. Whether on a smartphone, tablet, or laptop, operators and technicians can securely monitor and control their systems from anywhere—supporting smarter decision-making and faster response times.
Seamless Integration Across AVEVA and Third-Party Systems
Built to scale with your automation ecosystem, AVEVA Edge integrates natively with the broader AVEVA portfolio, including AVEVA System Platform, AVEVA Insight, and AVEVA Connect. It also supports connections with virtually any third-party PLC, sensor, or database through built-in communication drivers and protocols.
