ThingsPro Gateway Software 

Moxa’s ThingsPro Gateway is a groundbreaking software package designed for Industrial IoT applications. It bridges the gap between IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) by offering an easy-to-use web UI for Modbus DAQ, LTE connectivity, and MQTT communications. With ThingsPro Gateway, you can focus on software application development for your Industrial IoT business. ThingsPro Gateway supports a number of useful software functions and provides a Modbus API and RESTful API for future software integration and enhancement.

UC-8112-LX IIoT Gateway

The UC-8112-LX industrial-grade RISC computing platform may be tiny, but it has everything you need for field-site deployment. Following the industry trend of implementing distributed-grid and smartmanufacturing designs, industrial-grade computers add essential field-site intelligence for RMAC (Remote Monitoring And Control), Intelligent Data Logger, Software-based RTU, and Protocol Converter applications. The UC-8112-LX’s open platform design supports Debian 8, and the Linux Kernel is based on Moxa’s SLTS (Superior Long Term Support) Linux Kernel v4.x to ensure that your software assets will be useful for longer than would otherwise be possible.

The starter kit offers optional cellular or Wi-Fi modules that users can easily install to enable wireless communication between the UC-8100 and network. In addition, system integrators can easily evaluate the feasibility of using remote management for specific industrial tasks, such as data acquisition, and system integration.

NOTE: The starter kit  does NOT include a cellular/WiFi module. See “Ordering Information” below for a full list of the package contents.

White Paper: Building a Future-Proof Data Processing Solution with Intelligent IoT Gateways

To date, most discussions about the Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) have been about connecting new devices and rapidly bringing them online. In this white paper we look at the implications of bringing such a large number of devices online, namely, the need for efficient methods to collect information from these devices, and discuss how to handle the large amount of data collected from these devices.
Industrial IoT solutions are judged on their ability to adapt to various data acquisition needs and how they can transform the data collected from devices into useful business insights that can help decision makers. What makes an Industrial IoT solution truly stand out is the flexible data handling possibilities that it can provide…

White Paper: Developing a Data Acquisition Platform for Industrial IoT Applications

The impact the Internet has had on the way humans live their lives has been unprecedented. It has allowed us to communicate and interact with each other in ways previously unimaginable. Recently, it has opened the door for what many are describing as something that will become more important to our everyday lives than the Internet, the Internet of Things (IoT). One of the most exciting possibilities is in industrial applications, more commonly referred to as the Industrial Internet of Things (Industrial IoT), where communication and interaction capabilities can be extended to devices or things used for factory automation, renewable energy applications, smart grids, intelligent transportation systems, and even oil and gas applications…

Application Notes: Accelerate your IIoT-Ready Applications with Smart Industrial Computing

Data is at the heart of the Internet of things (IoT).  To make critical data-informed decisions, businesses first need to capture and collect data from all sorts of devices over the Internet before converting the data into valuable business information. Moxa has applied its rich experience in the industrial automation field to provide industrial computing solutions that integrate data acquisition and device management for large-scale, Industrial IoT applications. In this brochure, we will examine several typical applications to see how Moxa’s solutions can help businesses conquer the challenges in the Industrial IoT environments…
