The Megashid Industrial IoT Solution is divided into three main components: RTUs, edge controllers, and a cloud system.
- RTUs (Remote Terminal Units) are installed at required points in industrial processes, supporting standard industrial communication protocols. They collect sensor data, process control commands, and manage input/output (I/O) modules for various control signals and sensor readings, enabling decentralized monitoring and control.
- Edge Controllers handle real-time data processing and control decisions when centralized control via a cloud host is not feasible. The Megashid edge controller is a powerful Linux-based processor that provides a stable and secure environment for data collection and control tasks. Key features include:
- Data Collection from sensors, PLCs, RTUs, and other field devices.
- Data Processing & Control, with the ability to execute control algorithms and issue control commands.
- User Interface, equipped with a web-based interface for hardware configuration and dashboard creation, which requires no coding or technical expertise.
- Flexibility & Adaptability, supporting a wide range of communication protocols and easy integration with new systems.
- The Megashid Cloud System enhances the capabilities of the edge controller by offering centralized data processing, storage, and advanced analytics, including:
- Data Processing Pipelines for efficient data cleaning and categorization.
- Advanced Analytics for AI and machine learning applications, enabling predictive maintenance and process optimization.
- Scalability, allowing independent workspaces with secure, isolated data handling.
- User Collaboration, supporting role-based access and team collaboration features.
- Alert Management, offering customizable threshold-based alerts.
- Data Storage & Retrieval, providing structured historical data storage for analysis and reporting.
- Customization & Expansion, with user-defined configurations without needing coding.
- License Management and strong security mechanisms to ensure data privacy, integrity, and reliability.
This solution provides a comprehensive approach to industrial IoT, integrating hardware and software for real-time control, data-driven decision-making, and advanced analytics.
