Designer
The Designer area of Tricloud Nexus is your central workspace for building and configuring the digital twin of your operations. It provides powerful tools to help you design, organize, and maintain every aspect of your IIoT or industrial environment - from the physical asset hierarchy down to software modules and integrations.
Key Capabilities
Asset Hierarchies Model your plant, site, or entire organization using flexible asset hierarchies. Align your digital representation with real-world equipment, processes, and logical groupings according to standards like ISA-95 - or use custom structures that fit your business.
Asset Modeling Define, organize, and manage all physical and logical assets, from machines and production lines to sensors and software-defined areas. Define Tags/Data points and configure Read and Write operations through data connectors. Attach properties, metadata, and tags for contextualized data and smarter analytics.
Data Connectors Configure and manage connections to field equipment, PLCs, sensors, data historians, and other industrial systems. Data Connectors ensures a standardized output format for a robust, scalable data integration. You can build and import your own data connectors using our SDK.
Module Store Import, register, and manage reusable modules or containers (such as analytical modules, protocol gateways, data connectors, and processing logic). Maintain a library of trusted modules ready for deployment. You can import your own modules as well as any 3rd party docker module.
Application Configuration Build and configure applications by combining imported modules with configuration. Applications can be tailored to specific use cases, devices, or production environments and are versioned and can be updated from the update center.
Versioning Manage versions of your asset hierarchies, modules, and applications to ensure controlled rollouts, auditability, and repeatability across sites or devices.
Import/Export & Automation Import existing models, export configurations for backup or replication, and automate repetitive setup tasks.
Why Use Designer?
Centralizes the design and management of your entire IIoT environment.
Empowers teams to digitize operations, accelerate integration, and maintain data consistency.
Supports both simple and advanced scenarios - from small machine shops to global multi-site enterprises.
In summary: The Designer area is where you bring your digital operations to life - structuring your assets, configuring data flows, and assembling modular applications for deployment at the Edge or in the cloud.
Whether you’re onboarding a new site, building a data pipeline, or customizing industrial applications, Designer gives you the tools you need to innovate and scale with confidence.
