Usage workflow
How to use TwinEdge OS
Choose the first site role
Decide whether TwinEdge OS will run as an evaluation edge server, a no-cloud local runtime, or a hybrid node that syncs selected context to the cloud.
Install and register the edge package
Download the approved package, bring the host online, register it in the edge fleet, and confirm heartbeat, version, and update status.
Attach sources through DataOps
Use DataOps sources and tag browsing to connect OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT, historian, SQL, file, or REST sources while keeping site topology controlled by customer permissions.
Validate local operation
Confirm buffering, local dashboard access, source quality, timestamps, units, and sync status before routing the data into modules or API products.
Promote the first workflow
Move validated context into DataOps products, AssetOps EAM, Field, Water OS, Wastewater OS, analytics, or API/MCP access as appropriate.
