Home Automation Devices and Mobile Gateway Hubs and Bridges

Our M2M gateway module is a connectivity broker based on manufacturing integration standards for machine automation connectivity, production systems connectivity and value chain M2M connectivity.

Our products are all automatized input-output personal mobile localization (M2M) unit/gateway based on the OPC UA and MQTT standards for unified automation (UA), data transfer and network communication protocols / components, including wireless standards for both short-medium and long range.

Product dimensions vary and come in 3-differents sizes; 9cm x 6cm x 2cm, 12cm x 7.5cm x 2cm, and 15cm x 8cm x 2.5cm. Specifics of the sizes depend on the number of protocol adapters supported for the M2M communication. The specifics are customisable and customers must contact us (for more information if you are unsure of the type of device you need). The needs of our customers vary.

ioMGW is a SCADA and HMI solution for Android and iOS operating systems to direct access to production and process data, using the most familiar industrial communication protocols including – Modbus TCP, Siemens ISO/TCP, Ethernet/IP, FINS/TCP(UDP), MQTT and OPC UA. The communication drivers are embedded and communicate directly with your PLC using direct TCP/IP links with minimal configuration. Also in Industrial Internet of Things with technologies such as OPC UA integrated into ioMGW series and are customizeable to customers need, it is possible to safely get encrypted data from the cloud and from enterprise level systems to monitor machine and manufacturing data remotely, and simply take the HMI anywhere.
