📄️ Introduction
In distributed IoT and Auto-ID environments, devices such as RFID readers, RTLS nodes, barcode scanners, and industrial sensors constantly generate valuable event data. However, this data is often trapped at the edge - never reaching enterprise systems in time to drive automation or analytics.
📄️ Edgeware Installation
This guide walks you through installing the RCOM Agent on a Linux device using Docker Compose. The RCOM Agent is a modular platform that enables centralized management, configuration, and monitoring of AutoID devices (such as RFID readers, barcode scanners, sensors, and RTLS systems) in distributed environments.
📄️ Create Agents
Agents are lightweight edge-side software components that connect Auto-ID and IoT devices to the or to other custom middleware systems. They collect, filter, normalize, and securely forward real-time device data - RFID reads, barcode scans, BLE signals, vision events, sensor values, and more - into the Gateway or any other selected systems for event-driven automation.
📄️ Process Template
Process Templates are the intelligence blueprints of the Agent. They define how edge devices (RFID readers, sensors) capture data, how that data is processed locally, and where it is eventually sent. By using a visual, no-code designer, you can standardize complex edge operations across hundreds of agents with a single deployment.
📄️ Agents - Log Monitoring
In Agents, logs play a critical role in monitoring real-time activities, diagnosing issues, and verifying connectivity between the edge and the Gateway.
