Introduction to OpenGate

🧩 What is OpenGate?

OpenGate is a comprehensive IoT and IIoT platform developed by amplía))), designed to enable intelligent, secure, and scalable management of connected devices and other entities. Its modular and multiprotocol design allows it to integrate with any type of sensors or entities regardless of the manufacturer and adapt to industries like smart grid, utilities, renewable energy, telecom, manufacturing automation, agriculture, logistics, or smart cities.

🚀 Key Highlights

og og OpenGate stands out for several cutting-edge features that make it a next-level IoT platform. Here are some highlights:

  • Multi‑protocol, multi‑vendor architecture: Supports a wide range of technologies (Sigfox, NB‑IoT, LoRa, MQTT, CoAP, Modbus, SCADA) without vendor lock-in
  • Low-code rules engine: Allows creation of custom workflows and business rules via intuitive GUI, ideal for fast adaptation
  • Custom dashboards & visual wizards: Users can design interfaces and execute tasks through guided tools
  • Mass & remote device management: Centralized firmware updates, diagnostics, and bulk operations
  • Full enterprise integration: RESTful APIs for seamless connection to BI tools, ERPs, CRMs, and core systems
  • Edge Computing with integrated AI: Enables data processing at the network edge, reducing latency and improving responsiveness, with AI modules for predictive analytics and automation

🌐 Position in the IoT Value Chain

og og OpenGate covers the complete IoT lifecycle:

  1. At the edge, it ingests data from sensors and gateways and offers its OpenGate Device Edge Agent -ODA-
  2. In connectivity or comms, it manages SIMs and support for LPWAN protocols like NB‑IoT,LoRa, SigFox and others
  3. In the core Opengate IoT Platform, it handles device lifecycles, rule-based automation, multi-tenant isolation, offers data analysis using AI and is based on robust security
  4. In the business processes, it exposes bidirectional data integration via RESTful APIs for interaction with BI, ERP, CRM, and other systems—enabling intelligent, scalable IoT ecosystems or business processes

🆚 Compared to Other IoT Platforms

Compared to other IoT platforms, OpenGate offers:

  • A hybrid edge–cloud architecture in one platform for high critical solutions and infrastructures, including advanced analythics capabilities the edge
  • Broader protocol support, including LPWAN and industrial protocols that other platform don’t include by default
  • A low-code GUI rules engine, versus script-based or function-based. This feature is integrated in the product
  • Native custom workspaces and dashboards and visual wizards, without needing external tools and allowing to use low-code to fully personalize them
  • Built-in bulk device management, versus separate modules on other platforms
  • Multi-tenant microservices, flexible deployment, and strong security—all provided out of the box
  • Private instance option, is posible to deply your own OpenGate cloud instance or even install it on premises on your own infraestructure

Other platforms from high positioned vendors (like AWS or Azure) are excel in cloud-native breadth and analytics but generally require more complex assembly (e.g., Lambda, Greengrass, Power BI). OpenGate, by contrast, is optimized for heterogeneous industrial environments with hybrid deployment needs

✅ Why Choose OpenGate?

  • Modular & future-proof: Vendor-agnostic, edge-ready, adaptable to any industry
  • Enterprise-grade: Multi-tenancy, security, and lifecycle management ready to deploy tens or millions devices
  • Operational efficiency: Bulk provisioning and automated workflows using API connectors reduce manual load
  • Developer & integrator friendly: REST APIs and JS extensibility, ideal for full-stack integration and customizations
  • Out-of-the box solution: Predefined sections, widgets, and catalog rules and operations to work with your data and devices from the fist login
  • Low-code friendly: GUI wizards deliver fast configurations for technical and non-technical users
