Exor International and its software company Corvina show how they combine industrial HMIs, edge gateways and an industrial IoT cloud to digitalize factory operations and OEM machines. On a real test rig from Exor’s Verona factory, the MicroEdge gateway, XPLC soft PLC (IEC 61131-3) and Corvina platform control a display test line, collect data and expose everything through browser-based dashboards and JMobile visualizations. https://www.exorint.com/products/hardware/series/microedge
On the shopfloor side, an Exor HMI with an integrated camera runs an AI-based access-control and operator-tracking algorithm, performing face recognition and user role management directly at the industrial edge. The same HMI executes PLC logic via XPLC and Dockerized containers on the MicroEdge hardware, blending deterministic control with containerized IIoT workloads. This lets OEMs deploy human–machine interfaces, soft PLCs and AI workloads on ARM or Intel-based edge devices, depending on performance and application requirements on site.
Corvina’s X Platform then aggregates machine data into real-time and historical analytics, turning the test machine into a digital twin with KPIs such as OEE and energy consumption. No-code dashboards let engineers build cloud or edge visualizations using OPC UA, MQTT and database connectors, while AI helps generate after-sales documentation and support flows. Filmed at the SPS 2025 show in Nuremberg, the demo reflects how Corvina is used in smart manufacturing and smart machinery deployments worldwide.
Around the booth, Exor presents a hardware portfolio built on the same software stack: IP69 food-and-beverage HMIs for washdown environments, outdoor sunlight-readable displays, marine bridge panels, X5 wireless safety handhelds with SIL3-rated emergency functions, and rugged “field HMI” tablets with Wi-Fi, NFC and integrated cameras. Industrial PCs and open HMIs span ARM and x86 architectures, from MicroEdge Basic and MicroEdge Plus gateways up to x86-based eXware and eX200 “edge HMI” systems, all capable of running JMobile and acting as IIoT gateways for Corvina.
Cybersecurity and regulatory alignment are central: MicroEdge acts as a secure router and VPN & IIoT gateway, with firewalls, network segmentation and IEC 62443-ready architectures to help customers address CRA and NIS2 requirements. Through Corvina, fleets of machines can be patched and updated over-the-air, vulnerabilities (CVEs) tracked, and new applications rolled out at scale. Exor and Corvina organize their business around smart manufacturing and smart machinery segments, enabling factories and machine builders worldwide to move from pure hardware sales to data-driven services, remote monitoring and pay-per-use as a service offering.
