Abstract: In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method comprises acquiring status data for settings that control operations of the edge sensor device, transmitting the status data to a backend system, receiving a command to modify settings that control the operations of the edge sensor device, the settings specifying (i) one or more subscribers, and (ii) a data collection limit, in response to receiving the command, modifying the setting, acquiring sensor data associated with a physical device operating within a physical environment, where a sensor service collects the the sensor data up to the data collection limit, and the edge sensor device is located proximal to the physical device, inputting the sensor data into an onboard message broker for publishing, and transmitting, from the onboard message broker, the sensor data, where the sensor data is addressed to a first set of one or more subscribers of the onboard message broker.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method comprises acquiring, using an edge sensor device, first sensor data associated with a physical device operating within a physical environment, where the edge sensor device includes a first set of sensors of a first sensor type for obtaining the first sensor data, and the edge sensor device is located proximal to the physical device, inputting, by the edge sensor device, the first sensor data into an onboard message bus to publish the first sensor data, wherein a processing device of the edge sensor device maintains the onboard message bus, and upon receipt of the first sensor data, transmitting, by the onboard message bus, the first sensor data onto a network, where the first sensor data is addressed to a first set of one or more subscribers of the onboard message bus, and the one or more subscribers includes a remote server computing system.
