Kubernetes for Distributed Edge and Industrial Operations

Run applications, AI workloads and autonomous systems securely across factories, warehouses, production facilities and remote edge locations.

OpenKubes Edge simplifies the deployment, operation and lifecycle management of distributed Kubernetes infrastructures — from individual edge sites to globally distributed fleets.

Why OpenKubes Edge?

Traditional IT platforms were designed for centralized datacenters.

Modern organizations require platforms that operate reliably where applications and data are actually generated:

• Manufacturing facilities
• Logistics and distribution centers
• Warehouses
• Retail locations
• Healthcare environments
• Energy and utility networks
• Robotics and automation systems

OpenKubes Edge provides a unified platform for operating, securing and managing distributed infrastructure at scale.

Manage Distributed Infrastructure from a Single Platform

Maintain full visibility and control across all locations, regardless of size or geographic distribution.

Centralized Edge Operations

• Central management of distributed Kubernetes environments
• Standardized platform and application configurations
• Automated deployment of new edge sites
• Consistent operational models across all locations
• Simplified lifecycle management

Edge AI

Run AI models where data is created.

Local AI Processing

• On-premises AI
• GPU-enabled infrastructure
• Local inference
• Real-time data processing
• Reduced latency
• Data sovereignty and privacy

Air-Gapped and Offline-Capable

Not every environment has permanent internet connectivity.

OpenKubes Edge supports deployments in:

• Air-gapped environments
• Critical infrastructure
• Manufacturing networks
• Security-sensitive environments

With secure update mechanisms and controlled software supply chains.
