The SEG Platform: Connecting Industry 3.0 to Industry 4.0

The Secure Edge Gateway (SEG) is the hardware and software platform that bridges 30-year-old industrial machines with modern cloud connectivity. Here's how it works.

The Industrial Connectivity Problem

The UK's manufacturing sector is worth over £190 billion. The vast majority of production machines on the shop floor were installed before the internet was a consideration. They are reliable, precise, and expensive to replace. They are also completely isolated from the data economy.

Enter the SEG

The DNS-CCN Secure Edge Gateway (SEG) is a compact industrial-grade hardware unit that connects to legacy machines via their native protocols — RS-232, RS-485, FTP, SMB1 — and translates all communications to modern, secure protocols before they touch your network.

Key Features

  • Dual NIC architecture — isolates machine network from corporate network
  • Real-time transfer monitoring — every file, every transfer, every timestamp
  • AI-powered predictive alerts — detect problems before they cause downtime
  • WireGuard VPN — secure remote access without exposing machines to the internet
  • Cloud dashboard — see every site, every machine, every alert in one place

Who Is It For?

Any manufacturer running legacy CNC machines: laser cutters, punch presses, tube lasers, press brakes, milling centres, lathes. If it cuts, bends, or shapes metal — we connect it.
