IoT (Internet of Things) Gateways are industrial devices designed to provide device-to-device or device-to-cloud platform communication, linking sensors, controllers, and machinery in a smart and effective network.
These gateways normally provide specialist solutions to industrial applications and are often used in complex automation systems as it acts a centralised hub for all IOT devices and sensors.
IoT Gateways also provide an extra security layer to IoT networks and the data, with the ability to perform a variety of IoT applications, such as data filtering, complex analysis, and data visualisation.
IoT Gateway devices are excellent solutions for expanding IoT ecosystems and enhancing industrial environments as they can be used with legacy devices or non-internet connected machines to relocate them into a localised network or on-cloud IoT ecosystem.
Multiprotocol IoT networking capability offers interoperability with unconnected systems / other devices with varying protocol.
operations.
Digital/Analog input features enables to monitor all the process parameters through integration of pressure, flow, level, temperature, humidity sensors or other PLC devices with standard 0-20mA input.
Offers highly secured connectivity using the secured TLS data encryption.
