CloudRail Subscription

If you like to use CloudRail you need to buy a CloudRail.Box and sign one of our Subscription Plans. Both components are mandatory for the use of the CloudRail solution. We offer several plans designed for typical use cases. Within each plan final pricing is dependent on the number of devices in your setup. Based on this we define “units” which drive pricing.

What is a ‘Unit’?
A ‘Unit’ is any of the following devices or features:

  • One CloudRail.Box or
  • One IO-Module for 4 or 8 Sensors or
  • One OPC-UA Server (identified by IP Address)
Example 1
  • 1 CloudRail.Box connected to 1 IO-Module with 7 sensors

Total 2 Units (1x CloudRail.Box, 1x IO-Module)

Example 2
  • 1 CloudRail.Box connected to
    • 1 IO-Module with 4 sensors
    • 1 IO-Module with 7 sensors
    • OPC-UA Server

Total 4 Units (1x CloudRail.Box, 2x IO-Module, 1x OPC-UA)

Example 3
  • 1 CloudRail.Box connected to
    • 1 IO-Module with 8 sensors
    • 1 IO-Module with 3 sensors
    • 1 IO-Module with 5 sensors

Subtotal 4 Units (1x CloudRail.Box, 3x IO-Module)

  • 1 CloudRail.Box connected to
    • 1 OPC-UA server

Subtotal 2 Units (1x CloudRail.Box, 1x OPC-UA)

  • 1 CloudRail.Box connected to
    • 1 IO-Link Master with 6 sensors
    • 1 IO-Link Master with 6 sensors
    • 1 IO-Link Master with 6 sensors

Subtotal 4 Units (1x CloudRail.Box, 3x IO-Module)

  • 1 CloudRail.Box  connected to
    • 1 IO-Module with 1 sensor
    • 1 IO-Module with 8 sensors

Subtotal 3 Units (1x CloudRail.Box, 2x IO-Module)

Total 13 Units (4x CloudRail.Box, 8x IO-Module, 1x OPC-UA)

  • Industry Grade Security
  • Role Based Access Control By default all devices are controlled through one CloudRail account. Role Based Access Control allows you to control multiple users and give them individual rights. For example to just manage a subset of all devices.
  • API Access The CloudRail API allows you to programmatically perform actions which are usually done in the Device Management Cloud. For example deploy and configure devices.
  • Large Scale Provisioning Large Scale Device Provisioning allows you to automatically deploy thousands of devices based on a predefined template.
  • Failover Scenarios Define a second CloudRail.Box which automatically takes over in case of a hardware issue.

Subscription Based Model

What is included in the subscription?

    • Device Management Cloud to centrally monitor, manage and update all CloudRail.Box devices
    • Managed Edge Gateways (CloudRail.Box) to ensure a secure and reliable connection today and in future
    • Fast security and maintenance updates (remote firmware updates)
    • New features
    • New cloud services and platforms
    • An awesome technical support

Why a subscription?

  • Edge gateways are connected to the internet and thus require constant security updates
  • Cloud services will change or new ones become relevant which requires updates
  • Edge Gateways need to be managed centrally (Device Management Cloud covered by subscription)

If you prefer to buy a piece of hardware without any ongoing support, please do so. CloudRail is a professionally managed solution which can’t work without a subscription.
