Architecture

Jelina is a family of cloud, edge, and device software products for industrial sites. Jelina’s vision is to bring intelligence to industrial operations. JelinaCloud, JelinaOS, CommBridge, and Edge-EMS Builder are four peer products, providing cloud management, system operation, device connectivity, and energy application capabilities respectively. Projects can select and combine them as needed.

Typical cloud-edge deployment

Section titled “Typical cloud-edge deployment”

The example below shows where software runs at a site requiring remote management, device data acquisition, and local business application execution. Vertical placement indicates the runtime relationship: business applications run on JelinaOS, and JelinaOS runs on edge hardware.

JelinaOS sits beneath business applications and provides the system runtime foundation. This diagram shows one possible combination; each product can be used independently according to its requirements or integrated with existing project systems.

  • Cloud management: JelinaCloud delivers applications, configurations, and updates to edge nodes, and receives device and application status and logs.
  • System support: JelinaOS provides the runtime for edge applications and handles system updates, fault recovery, and data isolation.
  • Business application execution: Customer applications, AI inference services, or third-party services use device data on site and produce results or control commands according to project requirements. Energy projects can use Edge-EMS Builder to implement energy strategy applications.
  • Device connectivity: CommBridge connects field devices and protocols, processes acquired data, and provides data and control channels to higher-level applications.

JelinaOS is the underlying operating system; CommBridge, Edge-EMS Builder, and customer applications run on top of it. JelinaCloud handles remote management and delivery and does not require field applications to execute in the cloud. Each product can be used independently within its supported scope or integrated with existing systems.
