How AI is used

OpenRemote is an open source platform designed to integrate communication protocols and data sources into a central management solution. It allows users to connect, monitor, and control assets through a manager interface and custom dashboards.

The tool is designed for manufacturers, system integrators, and government entities managing high volumes of IoT devices across different locations. It supports various connectivity options and provides tools for automation and data visualization.

Users can create digital twins of physical environments and manage device lifecycles, including firmware updates. The platform supports multi-tenancy, which allows distributors or customers to have restricted management environments.

Because it is an open source project licensed under AGPLv3, buyers should confirm if they have the technical capacity to deploy it via Docker or Kubernetes, or if they require professional services for design and management.

Key Features

  • Auto-provisioning

    Supports the secure connection of devices to the platform upon power-up, which creates a digital representation of the asset.

  • Digital Twin Representation

    Allows users to define asset types, attributes, and behaviors to mirror physical environments.

  • Multi-Protocol Support

    Supports connectivity via MQTT, HTTP, Websocket, Bluetooth Mesh, LoRaWAN, Modbus, SNMP, and Z-wave.

  • Rules Engine

    Includes a drag-and-drop interface for creating automated behaviors, alarms, and notifications based on live data.

  • OTA Firmware Updates

    Supports managing and rolling out firmware updates to edge devices.

  • Multi-tenancy (RBAC)

    Provides role-based access control through realms, allowing users to access only their assigned assets.

Use Cases

  • Industrial IoT Monitoring

    Monitoring and controlling energy storage systems and hydrogen fuel cell generators.

  • Energy Management Systems (EMS)

    Connecting PV panels, electric vehicles, and batteries to help manage local energy networks.

  • Fleet Telematics

    Managing vehicle fleets for logistics and transportation in corporate or city settings.

  • Smart City Infrastructure

    Managing public lighting, waterway safety, and urban data platforms.

  • Agricultural Asset Tracking

    Monitoring cattle health and location for professional farming customers.
