In today’s world where digitalization is sweeping across the globe, the demand for data is as urgent for enterprises as the need for air and water. To stand out in fierce market competition, companies must extract value from vast amounts of industrial data to enhance their competitiveness. This requires a powerful platform that can seamlessly connect industrial assets and enterprise IT infrastructure to achieve data collection, transformation, and transmission. The n3uron IIoT and edge computing platform has emerged to meet this need.
Industrial Internet of Things
“Smart Brain”
The n3uron IIoT and edge computing platform is the “smart brain” in the field of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). It can closely connect various devices on the industrial site with enterprise IT systems, cloud platforms, and SCADA systems (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems), enabling efficient data collection, transmission, and analysis. By integrating with Raspberry Pi, n3uron provides cutting-edge, robust, reliable, secure, scalable, and highly customizable industrial IoT solutions, making it possible for data to flow from any source to any destination.
Born for Smart Infrastructure
The n3uron platform is designed for smart infrastructure, capable of collecting and transmitting data from devices at different levels, which are part of critical control systems. Whether in utilities, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, water management, or wastewater treatment industries, n3uron can shine. Its fully web-based communication platform allows companies to build customized IIoT solutions for the network edge of factory workshops, processing data directly within or near the devices. Enterprises can connect an unlimited number of industrial devices, bridging the gap between the factory floor and cloud or SCADA applications.
Modular Design for Flexible Scenarios
n3uron is an industrial middleware solution that can convert industrial protocols into de facto IoT standard protocols such as MQTT, REST API, or OPC UA. Its modular design, along with cross-platform features (supporting Windows and Linux systems), and flexibility to be installed on almost any device, make it an ideal choice for nearly all application scenarios, whether it’s a small standalone edge gateway or a large distributed architecture with hundreds or even thousands of nodes.
Data Acquisition Module: The
“Nerve Ending” of Industrial Sites
The data acquisition module is
the foundation of the n3uron platform, responsible for collecting signals from various devices and components on the industrial site. These modules provide connectivity with most devices in the production environment, ensuring that data can be accurately collected and transmitted.
Data Transmission Module: The“Highway” of Data
The data transmission module is responsible for transmitting the signals collected by the data acquisition module to major cloud platforms (such as Azure, AWS, Google Drive Platform, etc.) and major SCADA systems in the market (such as Wonderware, Ignition, etc.) for subsequent data analysis.
Edge Computing and Visualization Module: The“Smart Processing Center” of Data
The edge computing and visualization module allows connected devices to process data near the data source or even inside the devices. The visualization system software module is responsible for converting data into charts to enhance the data analysis experience.
Security and Reliability: Protecting Core Assets of Enterprises
After deploying the n3uron communication platform, enterprises can securely, reliably, and efficiently monitor and control their critical remote assets, providing data for advanced data analysis, machine learning, or other third-party applications, thus obtaining valuable insights in real-time and making more informed decisions.
Raspberry Pi: Providing Solid Support for Industrial IoT
Raspberry Pi provides the hardware needed for deploying the n3uron industrial IoT platform. The industrial edge gateway of Raspberry Pi is designed to withstand harsh industrial environments, meeting the demands of edge analytics and networking, handling data acquisition and communication tasks. These hardware platforms have the following characteristics:
