Industrial Edge Gateway
The BCS-MX industrial edge gateway converts multiple communication protocols simultaneously, integrating industrial protocols and connecting data across the whole plant — your first step into the Industrial IoT (IIoT).
Comes with the free Cloud Field View; both the platform and the app are continuously maintained, optimized and extended by a dedicated IT team.
Polished data visualization and a dedicated mobile app; equipment data travels from the edge to the cloud, so machine status stays in view anytime, anywhere — IIoT, realized.
No-Code Interface, Effortless Setup
Zero barrier to entry — build the dashboards you need without a controls-engineering background.
In the GoodLinker engineering portal, menu-driven design tools make data hookup a matter of a few clicks, streaming equipment data to the cloud.
- Zero barrier to entry
- Quick, simple no-code setup
- Visual dashboards with clear information
- Fast configuration with instant results
Free Cloud Platform for Rapid IoT Integration
Works with the GoodLinker Cloud Field View and dedicated mobile app — system integrators and E&M contractors skip the development and maintenance entirely; install the gateway and it is ready to use.
The free tier covers the platform's core features, with a range of advanced services available by paid subscription — see the platform introduction for plan details.
Fits all kinds of scenarios and industries — already deployed in foundries, plastic injection, fasteners, food and more. A complete, versatile platform with plans to match every need.
- Live Cloud Field View dashboards for all equipment
- Same-day data charts for every machine
- Instant andon alarms on anomalies
- Real-time data and push notifications on the mobile app
- Consolidated anomaly reporting
BCS-MX Hardware
The BCS-MX is a fanless, DIN-rail-mountable ARM embedded industrial computer powered by a Broadcom 2711 quad-core processor, with a dependable I/O design and the stability to meet all kinds of requirements.
It works with the GoodLinker Cloud Field View platform for equipment status monitoring, environmental monitoring and alarms. With a built-in andon system that raises alarms instantly, troubleshooting is faster and unnecessary line stoppages are reduced.
The BCS-MX is an industrial device qualified to work with AWS IoT Core: it acquires data from legacy equipment, encrypts and processes it at the edge, and uploads it to the cloud — upgrading older machines into smart ones, ready for IIoT applications built on AWS IoT Core.
Customer Case Study
20% Power Savings After Deployment
Customer profile: a precision casting manufacturer
Customer need: complete a plant-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory to ISO 14064-1, supported by comprehensive power monitoring.
The BCS-MX gateway captures the factory's live power data, and with GoodLinker Cloud Field View and the mobile app, plant status is visualized in real time.
Power use was first zoned and categorized for finer monitoring, pinpointing the heaviest consumers and shaping a savings plan that cut energy waste substantially. Take the cooling tower fans: they used to run for as long as the plant did. With temperature monitoring and low-temperature reminders, switching them off saved 20% in excess power — a big win for energy conservation.
With the BCS-MX in place, a complete GHG inventory of factory equipment comes together quickly — fully prepared for ESG.
