The industrial gateway that stays managed.

GridBit is an industrial IoT technology company that develops hardware and software for energy, smart cities and buildings. Its range combines the GWU-5 industrial edge gateway with its operating system GridBit OS, DIN-rail Modbus modules and GridBit Cloud for remote device and fleet management. GridBit also delivers complete systems for electrical infrastructure digitalization (EID): street lighting management, MV/LV transformer monitoring, LV switchgear monitoring and GridBit Asset Passportization. For hotels, OccuSense manages energy by the real occupancy of the rooms. GridBit is a spin-off of ADD Bulgaria from Plovdiv, so it builds on years of experience in energy infrastructure, smart metering and large-scale IoT deployments.

GWU-5 is GridBit's industrial edge gateway that connects field equipment to cloud or server infrastructure. It reads meters, controllers, sensors and other devices over Modbus RTU on RS485 and Modbus TCP on its LAN port, and runs local logic at the edge. When the connection drops, it keeps working, stores the data it has read and sends it once the connection is back. It connects over 4G LTE with 2G fallback, Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so it fits different installation sites. Security is built into the device: Secure Boot, encrypted flash memory, a unique key for each device, signed applications and secure over-the-air updates with automatic rollback. GridBit Cloud registers, monitors, configures and updates GWU-5 devices remotely, over MQTT with mutually authenticated TLS.

GridBit Cloud is the cloud platform that manages fleets of GWU-5 industrial IoT gateways. It covers fast device onboarding, remote configuration, monitoring, alarms, diagnostics and controlled software updates across distributed sites. A gateway is activated with a QR code and updated remotely in stages: if errors pass the threshold, the rollout stops by itself and the affected devices return to the previous version. GridBit Cloud manages the gateways themselves, while each GWU-5 sends production data straight to your own broker, cloud platform or SCADA system, not through GridBit Cloud. You control the whole fleet from one place and keep your operational data in your own infrastructure.

GridBit OS is the operating system of GridBit gateways. It runs applications in an isolated environment, checks the digital signature of every software package and of the kernel, and receives over-the-air (OTA) updates through GridBit Cloud.

Yes. You can develop and run your own applications on GridBit gateways, with the logic your project needs. The gateway sends the data straight to your broker, cloud platform or SCADA system, while GridBit Cloud handles remote device management, configuration and updates. Your team can focus on the application instead of developing its own device management.

GridBit systems are designed for organisations that run distributed, energy-intensive or remotely managed infrastructure: distribution system operators (DSOs), municipalities, energy service companies (ESCOs), industrial companies, building and facility operators, maintenance companies, renewable energy operators, water and pumping infrastructure operators, and hotels. GridBit hardware and software work in street lighting networks, transformer stations, photovoltaic plants, industrial equipment, pump stations, HVAC and building systems, EV charging infrastructure, agricultural sites and other remote assets that need reliable connectivity, monitoring and local control. In hotels, OccuSense manages the energy of guest rooms and plant rooms by occupancy.

You can monitor electrical parameters, energy consumption, equipment status and the data of compatible meters, sensors and controllers. That covers energy monitoring, industrial IoT monitoring and remote asset monitoring in energy, municipal, industrial and building infrastructure. Typical sites are transformer stations, street lighting networks, photovoltaic plants, pump stations and water facilities, industrial equipment, HVAC and building systems, EV charging infrastructure, agricultural installations and other distributed or remote sites. In hotels, OccuSense manages energy by the occupancy of the rooms.

GridBit gateways send production data straight to your broker, cloud platform or SCADA system, without routing it through GridBit Cloud. You keep control of your operational data, connect it to your existing infrastructure and avoid vendor lock-in. GridBit Cloud works separately, over its own secure connection, for remote gateway management, configuration and software updates.

Send the form on the Contact page or write to sales@gridbit.tech. If you can, include the type and number of sites, the devices you need to connect and the network available on site. The GridBit team replies by email or phone with a proposal for the GWU-5 gateway, GridBit Cloud and the modules your project needs.
