PORTWELL​​, a U.S.-based leader in embedded computing, specializes in ​​industrial IoT gateways​​ and ​​edge controllers​​ that bridge PLC systems with cloud platforms. Its flagship ​​KUBER-2000 series​​ integrates modular hardware with multi-protocol support (e.g., PROFINET, Modbus, OPC UA), enabling real-time data exchange between PLCs and enterprise networks. For example, the ​​KUBER-212B model​​ combines GPIO, CANbus, and 5G connectivity, allowing seamless PLC-to-MES/ERP integration for predictive maintenance. Designed for harsh environments, these gateways operate at -40°C to 85°C with IP67 protection, ideal for mining and oil & gas industries. PORTWELL also adopts the ​​UIC (Universal IoT Connector)​​ standard to unify data flow from PLCs to 500+ cloud solutions like Microsoft Azure IoT.

Why PORTWELL Stands Out in Industrial Edge Computing?​​

1. ​​Protocol Agnostic​​: Supports 100+ industrial protocols (PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus) for PLC-to-cloud interoperability.
2. ​​Rugged Reliability​​: IP67-rated and wide-temperature (-40°C–85°C) operation ensures stability in extreme conditions.
3. ​​Scalable Architecture​​: Modular I/O design allows customization for PLC-driven automation needs.
4. ​​Cloud-Ready​​: UIC standard enables seamless integration with Azure IoT, reducing deployment complexity by 50%.
