Ona Edge

Edge computing intelligence for zero-latency forecasting on ARM64 devices.

Overview

Ona Edge brings the power of the Ona platform directly to your site with edge computing capabilities. Deploy forecasting models on low-power ARM64 devices that operate independently during connectivity loss, ensuring continuous operation and data sovereignty.

Key Features

Ultra-Fast Forecasting

Generate forecasts locally without waiting for cloud round-trips.

• 2-5 Second Generation: Forecast generation in seconds, not minutes
• ARM64 Optimized: Purpose-built for efficient edge deployment
• Low Latency: Real-time decision support without network delays
• Batch Processing: Process historical data quickly for model updates

Offline Operation

Continue operating even when connectivity is lost.

• Autonomous Operation: Full functionality during connectivity loss
• Local Data Storage: Buffer data locally until connectivity is restored
• Graceful Sync: Automatic synchronization when connection is re-established
• No Single Point of Failure: Decentralized architecture for resilience

Data Sovereignty

Keep your data on-site with local processing.

• Local Processing: All data processing happens on-premises
• No Cloud Dependency: Core functionality works without cloud connectivity
• Compliance Ready: Meet data residency and sovereignty requirements
• Secure by Design: Minimize attack surface with local-only data

Performance Metrics

Deployment Architecture

Standalone Mode

Deploy Ona Edge as a standalone device at each site.

[Solar Assets] → [Ona Edge Device] → [Local Dashboard]
                         ↓
                  [Cloud Sync (when available)]

Benefits:

• Simple deployment
• Complete site autonomy
• Minimal infrastructure requirements

Hybrid Mode

Deploy Ona Edge alongside the cloud platform for redundancy.

[Solar Assets] → [Ona Edge Device] → [Cloud Platform]
                         ↓                    ↓
                  [Local Fallback]    [Central Dashboard]

Benefits:

• Centralized management
• Local fallback during outages
• Best of both worlds

Use Cases

Remote Sites

Ideal for sites with unreliable internet connectivity.

• Mining operations
• Rural installations
• Island microgrids
• Off-grid systems

Data-Sensitive Operations

For organizations with strict data governance requirements.

• Government installations
• Critical infrastructure
• Financial institutions
• Healthcare facilities

Real-Time Control

When milliseconds matter for grid services.

• Frequency regulation
• Demand response
• Peak shaving
• Grid stabilization

Getting Started

1. Hardware Setup

Prepare your edge device with the Ona Edge software.

# Download and install Ona Edge
curl -fsSL https://install.asoba.co/edge | bash

# Initialize the device
ona-edge init --site-id YOUR_SITE_ID

# Verify installation
ona-edge status

2. Site Configuration

Configure the device for your specific site.

# ona-edge-config.yaml
site:
  id: "site-001"
  name: "Solar Farm Alpha"
  location:
    lat: -26.2041
    lon: 28.0473

data_sources:
  - type: modbus
    host: 192.168.1.100
    port: 502
    device: "inverter-01"

sync:
  cloud_endpoint: "https://api.asoba.co"
  sync_interval: 300  # seconds
  offline_buffer: 30  # days

3. Start Monitoring

Begin collecting data and generating forecasts.

# Start the edge service
ona-edge start

# View real-time status
ona-edge monitor

# Generate a forecast
ona-edge forecast --horizon 24h
