Industry 4.0 - Machine Monitoring with IIoT

Industry 4.0 is here. Factory managers need accurate, real-time information about production lines at all times. Traditionally, radio and serial connections are used for shop floor communication, but integration with Ethernet and SCADA automation systems can make this communication cleaner and more agile, opening up a range of new possibilities.

With Above-Net's integrated IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) solution, or Industrial IoT Bridgemeter, you can connect to any machine or PLC in multiple locations, analyze and send information to the production manager or directly to the PLC with the best settings for maximizing performance and efficiency in real time. Based on efficiency rules and predictive analysis, Bridgemeter, Above-Net 's industrial IoT (Internet of Things) monitoring system, suggests maintenance or inspection suggestions for the team through an integrated task manager (checklist), confirming the tasks performed in the field and verifying that the readings are within normal operating standards after maintenance.

The machine manufacturer receives information about the suggested maintenance schedule, defective parts, while the customer can have access to the overall quality effectiveness in real time.

Above-Net has the experience and expertise for the immediate implementation of a system for Industry 4.0. Through sensors and remote connections made by radio, fiber, or remote monitoring using, for example, industrial access points, LoRA equipment, PoE Switches, Serial to Ethernet Converters and Serial Servers, our solutions allow the integration of traditional serial devices and machines (RS232/RS422/RS485) to Ethernet networks in a robust and agile way.

This modernization allows factory supervisors and managers to obtain real-time and much more reliable production data, thanks to the much greater data transmission capacity. The result is increased work efficiency, reduced downtime, and lower maintenance costs.
