IoT Gateway: Integration of PLC with IoT
Programmable Logical Controllers (PLCs) are present in almost all modern industries. Although they come in many shapes and forms, they have one goal: to control, measure, and carry out tasks in real-time within complex industrial applications. PLCs have played the role of robust and flexible brains for automation systems on factory floors for decades. They are,
Next-Gen Passenger Wi-Fi System for Buses
Private and public bus companies are looking for reliable and cost-efficient smart bus solutions to help them provide passenger’s safety, optimize travel time, and improve overall customer satisfaction. After all, happy and safe customers lead to business growth. Providing a passenger WiFi system or WiFi hotspot service is one of the best ways to keep
Rugged Industrial IoT Gateway for ICS/OT Security
In 2018, the U.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency released a report (Alert-TA18074A) describing a Russian hacking campaign to infiltrate U.S.’s critical infrastructure, including power plants, nuclear generators, and water facilities. Hackers could have disrupted or shut down power plants or other critical U.S. infrastructure, but they didn’t take it that far. According to UtilityDive,
The Commercial Vs Industrial IoT Gateway
The IoT gateway is an appliance or software deployed in an IoT network. It provides the communication gate between IoT edge (controllers, sensors, and intelligent machinery) and the cloud. Any data moving between IoT devices and the external network or cloud must stop by the gateway. IoT gateways can be classified as commercial and industrial
Why Tiger Lake Powered Industrial Embedded Computer is a good fit for Edge AI
Applying AI to Industry 4.0 would introduce opportunities to ignite (or improve) smart factories, automation, predictive maintenance, computer vision, or robotics. But, AI is often found in the cloud, far away from where data is generated and stored. Without ultra-fast broadband technology like 5G or high-end network infrastructure, taking and receiving data for enterprise-level AI
Rugged Embedded Computers Enabling Onboard SD-WAN
From first responder fleets to trucking companies, the need for reliable wireless WAN access has become crucial, especially with the rapid growth of IoT devices and Internet-based applications. Extending network connectivity to vehicles is key to improving fleet-based businesses, but implementing an in-vehicle network deployment can be challenging, especially regarding communication reliability. A fanless and
