The ENLYZE SPARK is the hardware component of the ENLYZE Platform. This edge device establishes the physical connection between data sources (machines, PLCs, sensors, MES, ERP systems) and the ENLYZE Manufacturing Data Platform.
The SPARK is fully operated and maintained by ENLYZE. It receives continuous enhancements and security patches via .
ENLYZE places the highest importance on data privacy and network security. SPARK devices are designed to integrate securely into both IT and OT networks without compromising existing structures. For this reason, SPARKs are not operated as routers. This ensures that segmented networks remain segmented—your OT network stays isolated from the internet.
For more details on our IT security approach and best practices for secure operation, refer to our.
The SPARK is currently based on a passively cooled, energy-efficient single-board computer (SBC) with a quad-core AMD processor, 4 GB RAM, and three network interfaces.
The illustration above shows the available ports on the SPARK:
Serial – Used exclusively by ENLYZE (e.g. for on-site maintenance)
Internet / eth0 – Connection to the internet
Machine / eth1 – Connection to the machine network or directly to the controller
Service / eth2 – Access to the ENLYZE EDGE user interface for configuration
USB – Integration of external devices (e.g. Modbus via serial-to-USB adapter) and factory reset functionality
Power – Power supply for the SPARK
The SPARK runs a custom ENLYZE-configured operating system, built on the . This architecture minimizes the attack surface of devices deployed in customer networks and gives ENLYZE full control over the services running on each unit. It also enables us to rapidly deploy to all devices.
