The Megashid Industrial IoT Solution is divided into three main components: RTUs, edge controllers, and a cloud system.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
