Information Router is the main communications module which allows data providers to exchange with Nexeed Industrial Application System. A data provider can be anything capable of IT-communication: a device, a smart sensor, a control system or PLC of a machine and so forth.
Messages to the endpoints provided by Information Router are used to transfer any kind of important information from the shop floor.
