Daployi is a comprehensive industrial IoT device management platform that provides a centralised control plane to securely deploy, monitor, and maintain Docker-based hardware at any scale.
In industrial deployments, getting a new device from bare hardware to fully operational is one of the most time-consuming and error-prone steps in the process. Daployi’s golden template capability eliminates this problem entirely.
A golden template is a single, comprehensive deployment template that handles the complete setup of a device from scratch. It executes setup scripts before any containerised services even begin to run — automatically creating required directory structures for data streams, building log folders, assigning security certificates, mounting drives, and configuring any host-level prerequisites.
When a new device comes online and installs the Daployi agent with a single command, running the golden template handles everything else automatically. A new device can go from bare hardware to fully configured and operational with minimal manual intervention – regardless of whether it is the first device in a fleet or the ten-thousandth.
Industrial teams often include field technicians who are experts in their domain – but not necessarily in network engineering. Traditional remote access tools require understanding of firewall rules, port forwarding, and VPN configurations that field staff simply should not need to manage.
Pre-configured port mappings — Administrators define specific port access rules within a template, so the configuration travels with the device.
No network expertise required — Field staff access critical TCP/UDP ports or PLC programming interfaces instantly, without understanding firewall rules or port forwarding.
Granular per-device security — Administrators can toggle specific port access rules on or off on a strict per-device basis, preventing unauthorised access.
Cross-platform desktop applications – The Tunnel operates via dedicated apps for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Industrial environments demand maintenance workflows that are reliable, repeatable, and safe. Daployi’s advanced script trigger system gives engineering teams precise control over when and how scripts execute across the fleet:
Run Once
Ideal for initial device setup, such as creating directory trees or mounting permanent drives.
Run at Startup
Useful for checking system states after a hardware reboot, such as verifying that a USB serial device mount point has not changed unexpectedly.
Run at Interval
Perfect for automated maintenance, such as checking DNS resolution every hour and automatically restarting the networking service if it drops.
Manual Run
Reserved for tasks that carry risk if fully automated, such as safely clearing system logs or forcing a batch data upload.
Scripts can be parameterised with global variables, allowing field operators to execute complex maintenance tasks – such as data recovery with a specific date range – through a simple form interface, without needing to understand the underlying commands or access individual devices directly.
When the same issue affects multiple devices simultaneously – a common scenario in industrial IoT where devices share firmware, configurations, or network conditions – Daployi’s batch execution capability means you can select all affected devices, run a remediation script or deploy a corrected template, and resolve the issue across all of them in a single action. What would otherwise require logging into each device individually becomes a task that takes seconds, regardless of fleet size.
Daployi provides live CPU, memory, disk, and network telemetry for every registered device, along with uptime monitoring and a process viewer.
Customisable alerts for device state changes, container failures, and resource threshold breaches are delivered directly to Slack, Discord, Google Chat, or any webhook endpoint – so engineering teams are notified the moment something goes wrong, before it escalates.
In industrial environments, edge devices can be physically accessible to third parties or even stolen. Daployi’s memory-based credential system ensures that container registry credentials are never written to device storage. Credentials are encrypted on the Daployi server, passed to the device strictly in-memory during deployment, and flushed immediately after the image pull completes. Even if a device is physically compromised, your code repositories remain secure.
The Daployi agent initiates outbound connections to the server – devices do not require inbound ports to be open and work through standard network connections including cellular SIM cards. Deployments and script executions can be queued and applied when connectivity is restored, making Daployi well suited to remote environments where network reliability cannot be guaranteed.
Daployi works with any Linux-based host running Docker or Podman, covering a wide range of industrial hardware – from standard industrial gateways and IIoT controllers to Raspberry Pi-based edge nodes and remote monitoring hardware. If the device runs Linux and a supported container runtime, it can be managed through Daployi.
