In engapplic we offer turnkey projects: you tell us what, we tell you how.
Meet the IIoT
The IIoT, differing from traditional remote visualization systems, offers a flexible and instantly scalable (serverless) system. It allows post-processing of data and the use of business intelligence, as well as the use of artificial intelligence on the data obtained to improve performance and optimize systems.
Within engapplic’s Cloud Services, we can distinguish:
IIoT Systems
IIoT Sensors
Business Intelligence
AWS is our official partner for implementing lloT systems.
lloT systems capabilities
- Real-time data collection and monitoring.
- Worldwide remote visualization, through the internet.
- Flexible serverless system.
- Scalable system.
- Quality and predictive maintenance.
- Optimization through AI (artificial intelligence).
- Cloud data storage.
- Business intelligence.
- VPN Cloud Systems.
Learning from the data obtained allows the IIoT service to:
Generate forecasts.
Improve diagnostics.
Generate warnings prior to alerts.
Learn behavioral tendencies.
Engapplic defines 3 areas in IIoT systems:
Device/Machine
The technology of each device and/or machine is analyzed and the most optimal solution for processing the data is proposed.
In recent systems, one of the easiest ways to capture this data is through OPC-UA.
via OPC-UA. Modbus TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP or MQTT.
Gateway
It is responsible for linking machine data to the cloud. It has the ability to perform preprocessing and execute Cloud commands.
Greengrass: software in charge of sending and receiving MQTT topics securely with the Cloud (AWS – IoT Core). It is a modular software deployable from the cloud where you can implement, for example, the following modules:
- Bridge with other communication systems: OPC-UA | Modbus TCP/IP | Ethernet/IP | MQTT | Others.
- VPN.
- Customized modules for the client; preprocessing, execution of specific tasks, etc.
Cloud
Set of cloud services responsible for processing, monitoring and visualization of data with business intelligence and artificial intelligence.
- IoT-Core: service in charge of receiving data from the different connected devices. It interacts with AWS services which also allows different devices to be connected to each other.
- SiteWise: application monitoring service, with the ability to monitor, generate alarms, etc.
- QuickSight: business intelligence and automatic reporting service (smart reports).
Do I really need IIoT?
We propose different scenarios in which IIoT is highly competitive and beneficial to the company's cross-cutting objectives.
Maximize machine availability
If you have one or more critical machines or processes, it is vital to avoid unnecessary downtime for maintenance or malfunctions.
Guarantees production quality
There are some parameters that you must monitor and control to ensure production quality. The traceability reports that are generated automatically are useful for this purpose.
Control your systems remotely
In the case of systems that need to be controlled remotely, the IIoT enables unified management and continuous monitoring.
Offer IIoT in your products
The application of IIoT can provide a competitive advantage for many of the technology products that your company offers to your customers.
