Our solutions to ensure multiple vendors of sensors and systems can be integrated into a single Industrial IoT platform for maximum extensibility options, meaning businesses aren’t locked into a single hardware vendor solution.
Connectivity
Secure asset connectivity for retrieving real-time sensor and status information. We use off-the-shelf industrial components, including sensors, gateways and other systems for an extensive range of options. We offer a cost-effective deployment with industry standard protocols and a fully plug-and-play experience for ease and speed.
Visibility
An easy-to-use user interface that allows users to quickly visualise and review asset data in real-time. Graphs, comparisons, status widgets and other components are essentially for easy to access to the data for maximum impact and visibility within an organisation.
Analytics
Business intelligence and analytical tools for teams who are tasked with diving into analytical data at a micro and macroscopic level. Operator; statisticians; data scientists and they are looking for ways to report on or increase visibility of multiple streams of information within a business.
Automation
Quick and easy options for automation such as notifications to applications such as Microsoft Teams, Slack & Zoom. Automation with other systems such as assets and edge devices is also an option. This is ideal to increase efficiency of production systems, assets and various business processes.
What Protocols Can Be Used?
Modbus (TCP/IP) (Serial)
Often used to connect to industrial systems, remote units and SCADA systems. Modbus is a widely used protocol that is supported by many industrial devices such as: PLCs, Sensors, Energy Meters and more.
BACnet (TCP/IP) (Serial)
A communication protocol designed for building and asset automation. BACnet is typically used to connect to, monitor and control building assets. This protocol can be used to monitor and control assets.
OCP-UA (TCP/IP)
A protocol for industrial automation developed for machine to machine communication. It is based on a client – server architecture. Its primary use is for communicating with industrial equipment and systems for data collection and control.
MQTT (TCP/IP)
MQTT is an open standard lightweight, publish-subscribe network protocol that transports messages between devices. The protocol usually runs over TCP/IP; however, any network protocol that provides ordered, lossless, bi-directional connections can support MQTT. Typically it is used for machine-to-machine communication.
HTTP (TCP/IP)
An application-layer protocol for transmitting data across the internet or networks, data such as HTML and web information is transferred over HTTP. It was designed for communication between web browsers and web servers, but it can also be used for other purposes such as machine-to-machine communication.
Which hardware interfaces can be used to connect sensors and systems together?
RS-485
USB
RS-232
Ethernet
A variety of interfaces can be used to connect to sensors and industrial systems. Typically, serial communication is often available on industrial systems, process controllers, energy meters and other types of hardware within industrial settings.
With the advent of the Internet of Things, many manufacturers are enabling connectivity using TCP/IP via Ethernet and Wi-Fi as well as USB serial communication for digital sensors.
