In the industrial automation world, business owners who follow the IIoT trend are able to optimise operational efficiency and maximise profits. In order to achieve this, one of the main goals that must be accomplished is to ensure reliable connectivity between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT). Moxa offers comprehensive industrial edge-to-cloud connectivity solutions that accelerate convergence of the OT and IT worlds and allows users to make their IIoT dream a reality.
Three considerations when developing connectivity for the IIoT
Make data actionable: to make your data actionable, it is essential to have a ready-to-run IIoT gateway to bridge OT and IT for data transmissions. Moxa’s intelligent IIoT gateway solutions include the ThingsPro platform, which makes data actionable through fast development, easy deployment, secure communication, and effortless maintenance.
Make data connected: connecting data to IIoT applications requires a secure network with high availability. Moxa provides industrial network infrastructure solutions that optimise network connectivity for IIoT applications.
Make data collectable: it is essential to have an easy-to-use and efficient solution. Moxa offers a variety of connectivity and computing solutions that make data collectable through interoperability and efficient data processing in order to consolidate edge connectivity for IIoT applications.
