Introduction
In intelligent industrial automation, decision making based on cloud technologies can increase productivity and enhance operational efficiency. Information acquired through front-end sensors such as thermocouples and other analog detectors can be instantly analyzed, enabling prompt remote management of factory equipment, preventing or minimizing unwanted downtime. Eliminating the need to manually acquire data, ADLINK's MXE-200i IoT gateway platform features the Intel® Atom™ E3826 processor and rich IO interfaces, allowing connection to a wide variety of devices for automated data collection. Sensor input can be transmitted via ADLINK's SEMA utility to the control center for storage and analysis, and when events are detected or expected, operators can remotely respond via an ADLINK rugged IMT-1 tablet PC with appropriate measures in a timely manner.
