Connectivity, Gateways & Servers

The gateway sets up the connection between the end devices and your own network. The right gateway together with optimal placement, wireless radio, and antenna is crucial for a stable and secure connection within the IIoT technology platform.

In a single gateway set up it is possible to also run the server tasks on the same device if the hardware is powerful enough to run both packet forwarder and server software.

For multiple gateway architectures the server needs to run on a separate central hardware platform in order to properly manage the network and devices. There are many options available for hardware configurations. Find, compare and select our standard systems online, or contact us anytime for assistance.

IIoT Platform

Platform choice
An important decision to be made is the implementation of the IoT software platform. There are many possibilities and offerings ranging from freely available tools, through PaaS (Platform as a Service) models up to perpetual licensed platform solutions. To establish a complete private IoT platform solution the following software elements should be configured:

Packet forwarder
On every gateway in the network.
Server software
On separate hardware platform or integrated on gateway in a single network setup.

Other software
Other software elements need to run on a separate server platform (or in the cloud):

Protocol translation
i.e. MQTT or HTTP server.
Data handling
Including visualisation of data.
Time series database
Optimised for storing time-data.
Analysis/ predictive maintenance
Using equipment condition monitoring.
