Universal edge device for remote reporting and control.
The UCC (Universal Command & Control) is a universal edge device designed to interface with any industrial device, regardless of brand or communication protocol.
It seamlessly connects to our own racks and converter modules, but it is also fully compatible with third-party converters from other manufacturers, enabling you to retrieve detailed system data with ease.
A wide range of industrial equipment is already supported, including solar inverters, power converters, BMS battery, sensors, EV charging stations, ... from multiple brands.
Our embedded software, COMPAS, running on the UCC Core, gives full remote control of the system’s parameters.
For advanced customization, create your own alarms or select pre-assembled, pre-programmed, and tested configurations ready for immediate deployment. Implement custom logic locally with Python on the UCC, without relying on the Cloud.
Inview MESH consolidates data from all deployed UCC units into a single interface, providing unified monitoring and reporting. Its API enables seamless integration with existing systems and applications.

FAQ
An edge device is a piece of hardware deployed at the network's edge, close to the physical equipment it monitors or controls, that performs local data acquisition, processing, and decision-making rather than forwarding raw data to a central server or cloud platform for processing.
The UCC (Universal Communication & Control) is a universal edge device that interfaces with any industrial equipment, regardless of brand or communication protocol, enabling data collection and remote control at the edge.
No. While it connects natively to Alpha Innovations systems and converter modules, the UCC is fully compatible with third-party converters and equipment from other manufacturers.
A wide range of industrial equipment, including solar inverters, power converters, battery BMS, sensors, and EV charging stations, from multiple brands.
The UCC is protocol-agnostic by design, allowing it to interface with equipment regardless of the communication protocol used.
