Smart device data access adapter

A method, comprising:

• communicatively interfacing, by an edge gateway core component of an adapter module installed on an edge device, with industrial devices that generate industrial data conforming to an operational technology (OT) protocol, wherein the edge device executes a data broker service and a module management service that serve as a proxy for an Internet of Things (IoT) hub;
• collecting, by the edge gateway core component, the industrial data from the industrial devices;
• coordinating, by an interface adapter component of the adapter module, with the data broker service to migrate the industrial data to a cloud platform;
• and
• configuring, by the interface adapter component, the collecting and the coordinating in accordance a management instruction that originates from the IoT hub and is received via module management service, wherein the management instruction defines at least one of data tags of the industrial devices from which the industrial data is to be collected by the edge gateway core component or an identity of a cloud-based application to which the industrial data is to be sent by the interface adapter component.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, in response to execution, cause an edge system comprising a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• communicatively interfacing, by an edge gateway core component of an adapter application installed on the edge device, with industrial devices that generate data conforming to an operational technology (OT) protocol, wherein the edge system executes a data broker service and a module management service that serve as a proxy for an Internet of Things (IoT) hub;
• collecting, by the edge gateway core component, the data from the industrial devices;
• coordinating, by an interface adapter component of the adapter application, with the data broker service to migrate the data to a cloud platform;
• and
• configuring, by the interface adapter component, the collecting and the coordinating based on a management command originating from the IoT hub and received via the module management service, wherein the management command specifies at least one of data tags of the industrial devices from which the data is to be collected by the edge gateway core component or an identity of a cloud-based application to which the data is to be sent by the interface adapter component.
