IMACHINE'S Unifying Site to Vehicle
IIoT & R2E Connectivity Platform Explained
IMACHINE's range of premium Australian designed and manufactured, modular all-in-one IIoT technology offers robust, precise, sophisticated real-time monitoring and automatic wireless mesh network control. This innovative Industrial IoT platform is suitable for a wide range of energy and resources, process and environmental applications, with IECEx Hazardous Areas options available.
The IoT-SmartNode is a modular, advanced, wireless mesh network developer platform (PAAS) for flexible, long range and fast sensing and control, with Gateways that backhaul via Satellite, 4G, WiFi and Ethernet. Gain highly inter-operable site-wide and inter-site process unification. Perform Real-Time monitoring, analytics and control wirelessly.
The ACORN SmartNode Platform can be customised with the following modular functions:
-
Centralised Edge Computing, Radio and Communications Hardware System;
-
Centralised IIoT Software Platform, allowing a rich array of web enabled dashboards, protocols and integrations. Ability to integrate with all major industrial protocols, including MQTT, MODBUS (TCP & RTU), CAN, TCP/IP, UDP, and many more;
-
Centralised Control System Software, consisting of CoDeSys based PLC, SCADA and HMI and IMACHINE's Edge computing aggregation and connectivity software;
-
Wireless Sensor Networks, with self contained mesh network, battery powered nodes and optional solar power;
