More details on EdgeX Foundary are included included in the full project website, but see below for a high level summary.

The Preferred Open Source Edge Platform

Connecting OT and IT – EdgeX provides the base edge platform for getting data from sensors and devices that speak protocols like BACNet, Modbus, MQTT, REST, BLE, etc. to analytics applications, enterprise systems and cloud platforms.  A highly flexible open-source software framework that facilitates interoperability between heterogeneous devices and applications at the IoT Edge, along with a consistent foundation for security and manageability.  The open, vendor-neutral platform speeds developer and technology providers time to market by providing modular reference services for device-data ingestion, normalization, analysis and sharing in support of new IoT data services, advanced edge computing applications, including AI and automation.

The layers and services of EdgeX Foundry provide a two-way transformation engine between edge devices/nodes and cloud/enterprise applications.

EdgeX translates and transforms the information coming from sensors and devices and delivers it to applications over network-based protocols in formats and structures that meet the needs of customers. It also takes data from applications and delivers it to the edge nodes/devices for updates, control and actuation. In this section you will find the main services available for the EdgeX loosely couple microservices architecture.
