Architecture

From edge sensor to autonomous decision

One single data backbone — edge computing on the physical asset, a digital twin in the cloud and AI agents at the decision layer.

Physical edge

IoT sensors · PLCs & SCADA · Edge/OPC-UA

Digital Twin

Real sync · Operational scenario simulation · Time machine

Observability

Unified ingestion · FFT & anomalies · RUL

AI Agents

Diagnosis and prioritization · Autonomous action

Decision

Executive dashboards · Copilot · Open APIs

OPC-UA (the open industrial communication standard) connects PLCs and SCADA from the major vendors — when they expose OPC-UA, natively or via gateway — with no proprietary drivers. The standard offers native security: encryption and certificate-based authentication. At LakeX, we connect with SecurityPolicy active as a project standard and Human-in-the-Loop for any write; where equipment is legacy, LakeXAgent bridges it. No single-vendor lock-in. Read-only flow, OT→cloud.

LakeXAgent · Universal connectivity

A collector that speaks to any equipment

Installs in minutes, anywhere — and connects every major automation vendor to the LakeX platform.

  • Plug-and-play — edge mapping, automatic equipment discovery.
  • Buffer offline — no data is lost during network outages.
  • Encrypted · outbound only — discovers, normalizes, stores and encrypts without opening inbound ports.

Security & governance

Trust treated as a requirement, not as an afterthought

Security is a non-negotiable non-functional requirement — from edge to cloud, in every action and every model in production.

Access control

Roles, permissions and an audit trail on every action and master-data change.

LGPD / GDPR

Privacy and data protection by default, from edge to cloud.

AI TRiSM

Reliability, transparency and security of AI models in production.

Human-in-the-Loop

High-impact decisions escalated for human approval.

Differentiators

Why LakeX

Vendor-agnostic, API-first architecture

Native integration with SAP, Oracle PI, legacy historians and AWS, Azure and GCP clouds — with no single-vendor dependency.

Security and governance by default

Access control, LGPD/GDPR and AI TRiSM treated as a non-negotiable non-functional requirement.

Focus on ROI, not technology for its own sake

Every digital twin and agent is designed around the client's KPIs — OEE, downtime, cost, safety and ESG.

Production-ready engineering

Beyond the lab PoC: robust, scalable architectures with MLOps/LLMOps for continuous operation.
