Red Lion FlexEdge Intelligent Edge Automation Platform

Red Lion’s FlexEdge Intelligent Edge Automation Platform now combines the scalability of Linux with the power of Crimson 3.2 software in one user-friendly operating system. This fusion enables a single FlexEdge controller to provide advanced networking, security and automation. By integrating information technology and operational technology, the product is designed to help customers reduce costs, improve data security and increase productivity.

The platform provides users with the flexibility to easily modify controller functionality as application needs change. Additional functionality can be enabled through field-unlockable software upgrades that eliminate the need to purchase or add more equipment, saving unnecessary downtime. These extra capabilities further expand the applications to which the platform can be deployed.

The product’s modular communications sleds mean users can now deploy multi-cellular radio gateways for critical communications applications. For environments with demanding requirements, the platform offers multiple isolated serial ports, routable Ethernet ports, optional serial, USB, Wi-Fi and cellular communications sleds, and field-installable I/O.
