Access and Visualize Your Data

FlexEdge with HDMI, powered by Crimson, gives you easier, more powerful ways to access and visualize your data:
  • Directly collect data from devices such as PLCs, drives, bar code scanners and more. Map data to PLCs, PCs and SCADA systems with a simple no-code drag-and-drop interface, allow a Siemens® PLC to communicate with an Allen Bradley® drive in mere seconds.
  • Use the built-in graphics library, with over 5,000 drag-and-drop elements to visually represent your application, including tanks, gauges and other industrial graphics choices.
  • Sync your data to FTP servers and MS SQL Server to send information where it needs to go.
  • Set up alerts for important events using the built-in mail manager, which sends notifications to one or more specified recipients via email, with attached report or logged data files.
  • Use the built-in Cloud Connectors to link your productivity application data to one or multiple cloud providers, including Azure, AWS, Google or other MQTT brokers.

FlexEdge with HDMI also makes it easier to develop and deploy productivity dashboards with included sample productivity templates. You can choose from up to six commonly used templates available as demo databases in Crimson.

Sample productivity templates include:
  • Cumulative Work Cell Status
