Edge OS
Edge Operating System
An Edge Operating System (Edge OS) is software that runs on edge devices (gateways, controllers) to provide deterministic control, data processing, and autonomous operation at the site level. Edge OS differs from cloud-based systems by executing logic locally, without dependency on remote servers. Molecule's MOS350 is the internal edge OS inside AERA designed for VPP applications: it handles protocol translation (Modbus, OCPP, API), executes dispatch logic in real time, collects telemetry, and operates autonomously during internet outages. MOS350 is self-healing, hot-swappable (algorithms can be updated remotely), and built for 99.9%+ uptime-aerospace-grade reliability for grid-critical applications.
How Molecule Systems Relates
MOS350 is Molecule's internal edge OS - the core technology inside AERA that makes edge-first VPP execution possible. It handles protocol translation, local dispatch execution, sub-second telemetry, and autonomous operation during outages. MOS350's aerospace-grade firmware quality and self-healing capabilities deliver the 99.9%+ uptime required for grid-critical VPP applications.
