Industry is Evolving
The industrial stack is becoming software
01 · The shift
Control, data and AI now run side by side on industrial PCs.
Some functions are leaving their box, like PLCs and SCADAs. Others never had one, like MQTT brokers and AI models.
02 · The cost
Your OT team shouldn't have to become an IT team.
The stack keeps growing, and every new application is another thing to deploy, update, secure and monitor.
03 · The answer
Barbara removes the infrastructure complexity.
Operations teams get one simple way to deploy, update, secure and monitor every application and AI model, on every device and site.
What is Barbara?
One platform. Every device. Every app.
Barbara connects your scattered edge devices into a single operational fleet. Instead of managing each device individually, you deploy applications, roll out updates, monitor performance and keep everything secure from a centralized control plane.
What you can achieve
Operate and secure your edge fleet at scale.
Operations teams use Barbara for the day-to-day work across every site, from provisioning a new device to rolling back a failed update, with the same effort for one device as for hundreds.
- Provision 200 edge nodes overnight
- Deploy your own container applications
- Roll out updates without downtime
- Roll back a failed deployment instantly
- Update application configs fleet-wide
- Reboot hundreds of matching nodes remotely
- Restore an Ignition gateway automatically
- Monitor 1,300 nodes in real time
- Receive alerts when a node goes offline
- Track fleet health from one dashboard
- Secure workloads under IEC 62443
- Deploy AI models to GPU-enabled nodes
- Group devices by site, hardware or version
- Scale from one node to hundreds
