Moxa's new AIG-300 series of IIoT gateways add considerable value in the form of unique capabilities that help create cost- and time-effective IIoT systems, offer Azure IoT Edge integration
Industrial IoT gateways must be highly secure and reliable to facilitate seamless edge-to-cloud data acquisition and device management. The gateway integrates seamlessly with Azure IoT Edge and is powered by ThingsPro, a reliable, fast and convenient solution for data acquisition and device management. With simple configuration steps, data collected from the device can be transferred to Azure IoT Edge and then to Azure IoT Hub. Instead, devices can be efficiently managed through the routing of Azure IoT Hub to Azure IoT Edge on the AIG series of IIoT gateways. This seamless one-stop edge-to-cloud platform can help customers reduce system development time and costs.
It is essential for these systems to maintain normal operation and effective monitoring status. The series of gateways feature a wide temperature design and low power consumption, making them ideal for use in these environments. And most iiot applications are deployed in remote, unmanned and harsh environments, including smart grids, solar energy, energy storage systems, oil and gas refineries, and rail-side applications.
Series gateways in remote sites can be upgraded and maintained by restoring file transfers, OTA upgrades, and secure boot to provide continuous availability and effectively protect them from cyberattacks. To avoid disconnection through device crashes and sudden shutdowns, the series comes with a built-in recovery feature that allows rollback to a previous stable version of firmware without uninterrupted network connectivity at remote sites.
After the software upgrade fails, the gateway will automatically restore the backup software version to ensure the stability of the system. The ThingsPro tool simplifies the provisioning process by allowing batch provisioning of IIoT gateways and performing remote software upgrades.
