Visualise, Analyse and Automate with Hark Analytics

Analyse operational data from industrial assets wherever you are, on a user-friendly, customisable dashboard. You can even set rules and alerts, so the right people are kept up-to-date with the right data, at all times. 

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.

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.
