Recently, IOTRouter officially announced a deep strategic partnership with Hangzhou EMQ Technology Co., Ltd. (EMQ). Following the company’s official hardware partnership with ThingsBoard in July 2025, this marks another significant step forward in IOTRouter’s product ecosystem development.
This cooperation focuses on deep product integration: EMQ has customized a lightweight industrial edge computing solution, NeuronEX-Lite, for IOTRouter. At the edge layer, NeuronEX-Lite enables broader protocol access and real-time data processing, allowing devices to connect more smoothly to upper-layer platforms and message middleware across various industrial protocol scenarios.
Over IOTRouter
IOTRouter is a high-tech enterprise specializing in IT-OT convergence products and solutions. The company is dedicated to the independent research, development, production, and sales of industrial IoT hardware and software solutions, serving as a key enabler for digital transformation in the industry.
Together with EMQ, IOTRouter has adapted and validated NeuronEX-Lite on the EC series ARM industrial computers, achieving stable multi-protocol acquisition on-site. This step smoothly upgrades hardware from mere “connectivity” to “edge intelligence,” reducing the load on upper-layer platforms and making complex industrial environments more controllable, orchestratable, and easier to operate and maintain.
About EMQ
EMQ is a global leader in open-source IoT data infrastructure software, providing products such as EMQX en NeuronEX for industrial, automotive, and smart city scenarios. EMQ has engineered NeuronEX-Lite—a lightweight edge computing solution specifically designed for industrial IoT. Combined with the EC series ARM industrial computers, it breaks down IT/OT barriers, quickly connects hundreds of industrial device protocols, and achieves millisecond-level data processing.
Dual “N” Architecture & NeuronEX-Lite on ARM Industrial Mini PC
The EMQ-customized NeuronEX-Lite has been fully adapted to the ARM Industrial Mini PC, supporting hundreds of industrial protocols for rapid device connection and millisecond-level data acquisition with local rule triggering. This lightweight engine is optimized for embedded environments, ensuring stable operation under harsh conditions and reducing cloud bandwidth pressure.
Dual “N” Architecture for Faster, More Stable Development
NeuronEX-Lite handles industrial protocols and edge computing, while Node-RED provides drag-and-drop visual orchestration. This combination lowers the development threshold, allows template reuse, and seamlessly integrates “rapid business development” with “professional industrial data acquisition,” making replication and maintenance easy.
