Industrial environments have undergone a major evolution since robots began to be introduced into production plants more than 20 years ago. Since then, the Internet of Things and industrial automation solutions have changed the day-to-day operations of industry around the world, to the point where both factors have become indispensable to remain competitive in the marketplace.
In view of the growing importance of technology in the industry that is expected in the coming years, the IoT Solutions World Congress in Barcelona is taking on great relevance within the sector. That is why Outsourcing Automation Systems (OASYS), a company specialized in industrial IoT and part of the Zemsania Group, will attend the event to present one of its solutions: the NearbySensor IoT platform.
A new era for Smart Cities and industrial plants
According to OASYS experts, the IoT Solutions World Congress event will allow industry professionals to learn firsthand the state of digitization of many companies, both nationally and internationally. Carles Rivas, Delivery Manager Infrastructure at OASYS, will attend the event to present the NearbySensor IoT platform. According to Rivas: «Industrial plants will need to implement solutions that provide features such as flexibility, adaptability and scalability. IoT platforms such as NearbySensor's represent the best way to develop these properties».
The features of the NearbySensor IoT platform, which OASYS will present during the course of IoT World Congress 2017, is precisely its scalability and flexibility. «Our platform is multipurpose and allows to remotely manage all field devices,» says Rivas.
Advantages of IoT Platforms such as NearbySensor from OASYS
The immediate future of smart cities and companies in the industrial sector involves the implementation of solutions under the umbrella of an IoT platform. Specifically, the OASYS IoT platform offers the following advantages:
- Enables remote device management
- Enables native connection to multiple devices
- Offers the possibility to have a public, private or local cloud installation
- In the specific case of NearbySensor, this IoT platform allows to manage and analyze the information stored by the field teams with Edge Computing or in the Cloud itself.
- Easy access to large amounts of information
- Easy exploitation of data using analytical tools
- Also important are
According to Carles Rivas, Edge Computing technology makes it possible to optimize information management in the Cloud. because field devices have the ability to decide and distinguish between information that should be stored locally or information that should be sent to the cloud for storage.
Thanks to the implementation of IoT platforms such as OASYS, it will be possible to increase the degree of connectivity present today in cities, turning them into next-generation Smart Cities. «Managing millions of devices is no longer a utopia» assures the OASYS expert.
*We look forward to seeing you at the Booth C398 IoT Solutions World Congress 2017 in Barcelona.
