Gateway Apps

Like WeChat Mini Programs, the gateway has its own apps. There is no need to purchase SCADA software or wait for a software vendor's schedule. Gateway apps run independently of the gateway firmware. Develop, debug, and modify code directly on the device; fix issues on site, then package and distribute the update to every gateway of the same model.

What Are Gateway Apps?

Gateway apps are lightweight applications built into the Woody AI Industrial IoT Gateway. Each app is an independent industrial application that can cover the complete workflow from data collection → data storage → visualization.

You do not need a dedicated software development team. Write and debug code directly on the gateway to build industrial digital applications tailored to your customers.

Core Capabilities

📡

Data Collection

Connect PLCs, sensors, meters, and other devices to collect live data. Supports Modbus, OPC UA, custom protocols, and other connection methods.

🗄️

Data Storage

Store collected data in the gateway’s local database without relying on a cloud server. Operations continue even when the network is down, with data kept under your control.

📊

Visual Dashboards

Built-in dashboard components present live data and historical trends as charts, gauges, and alarm lists, giving managers an immediate view of production.

Three Key Advantages

⚡Customize on Demand, Respond Quickly

Edit app source code and debug directly on the gateway without redeployment or downtime. New customer requirements can be addressed the same day.

📦Deploy Once, Reuse Everywhere

Export an app as a standard package and import it on other gateways with one click. Develop once for the same equipment and process, then reuse it across sites to reduce deployment costs.

🛡️Independent and Reliable

Each app runs independently, so a failure in one does not interrupt other operations. This suits complex sites with multiple production lines and equipment types.

Typical Applications

🏭 Production Management Available

Collect operating status from multiple CNC machines and calculate uptime, production quantities, and alarm counts for daily and monthly reports.

🔪 Tool Management Planned

Track tool life and warn operators before a tool change is needed, reducing scrap caused by worn tools.

🖥️ Live Machine Dashboard Planned

Show the status of every machine on a large screen: green for running, yellow for idle, and red for alarms.

🔧 Industrial Web Visualization Planned

Create custom process diagrams and link collected data to equipment graphics to visualize production and machine status.
