Edge Gateways for Real-Time IoT Solutions
Edge gateways are the cornerstone of responsive, scalable IoT systems. At Krishworks Technology Innovations, we deploy high-performance edge devices—like Dell, Compulab, Laird, and custom SBCs—to bridge the gap between IoT sensors, devices, and the cloud.
By processing data at the network edge, these gateways reduce latency, minimize cloud load, and enable immediate decision-making—critical for mission-critical industries like healthcare, logistics, automation, and smart cities.
What is Dell, Compulab, Laird, Compute Module gateways?
Dell, Compulab, Laird, and Single Board Computer (SBC) gateways are high-performance edge devices designed to bridge IoT sensors, devices, and the cloud. These gateways play a critical role in collecting, processing, and transmitting data from connected devices to centralized systems. Known for their reliability, scalability, and secure connectivity, these gateways enable seamless edge computing for various IoT applications.
By processing data locally at the edge, they reduce latency, minimize bandwidth usage, and ensure real-time decision-making, making them indispensable in modern IoT ecosystems.

Edge Gateway Integration:
1. Custody Protect
In this healthcare project for the U.S. Federal Prison System, an edge gateway was employed to collect, process, and transmit data from multiple sensors integrated into smart handcuffs. These handcuffs monitor prisoner vitals, including heart rate, acceleration, gyroscopic data, and tampering detection.
Role of Edge Gateway:
- Aggregates data from the handcuff sensors in real-time.
- Performs edge computing to detect anomalies and trigger alerts for rapid response.
- Transmits processed data to the cloud for centralized monitoring, enabling timely interventions to prevent custody-related incidents.
2. PSM
This mobility and telematics solution monitors driver behavior and fleet health by analyzing data from OBD2 and CAN BUS systems in buses. Each bus is equipped with a Raspberry Pi device connected to the sensors, which collects and transmits data via an edge gateway.
Role of Edge Gateway:
- Collects and processes OBD2 and CAN BUS data locally to assess vehicle health.
- Reduces latency in sending critical fleet data, such as maintenance requirements and inventory predictions, to the cloud.
- Ensures real-time monitoring of fleet performance for better decision-making and operational efficiency.
3. Q-Bot
Q-Bot automates Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) testing by integrating hardware and software solutions for efficient testing. Edge gateways facilitate streamlined testing processes and the management of diverse test cases.
Role of Edge Gateway:
- Captures and processes real-time authentication test data.
- Automates communication between the testing hardware and the software platform.
- Enhances scalability by managing multiple test cases simultaneously with low latency.
4. Vending Machine Control
This project enables the remote control of relay motors in vending machines via Raspberry Pi and RS485 Modbus communication. The user interacts with a kiosk display to select products and complete payments.
Role of Edge Gateway:
- Connects the Raspberry Pi to the cloud for remote monitoring and control.
- Processes user interactions locally for immediate response.
- Ensures secure communication between the vending machine and the backend system for payment validation and inventory updates.
5. Hopa (Menu & Printer Automation)
Hopa streamlines order ticketing in restaurant environments by automating the printing process. Multiple thermal printers are connected over LAN, and a Raspberry Pi facilitates order management.
Role of Edge Gateway:
- Aggregates orders from kiosks or POS systems and routes them to the appropriate printer.
- Uses MQTT and message queue protocols for reliable and efficient order management.
- Reduces latency in ticket printing to improve restaurant workflow and customer satisfaction.
6. Device Thread (Smart Lock System)
A smart lock system for hotels enhances room access management by using Samsung SmartThings Edge Driver, Lua, JavaScript, and a custom SmartApp.
Role of Edge Gateway:
- Facilitates secure communication between the smart lock and the central management system.
- Processes access requests locally to reduce response time.
- Manages lock status updates and user access logs for improved security and convenience.
