Thanks to IIoT gateway, the integration of all devices and machines to the network allows to collect, integrate and share data in a profitably and functionally.
In this way it will be possible to carry out any industrial activity in a more cost-effective way and remain competitive in an increasingly competitive market.
Among the main advantages for companies there are:
Industrial connectivity solutions are therefore critical to the industry's technological modernization journey.
A gateway is a network device that functions as an entry point between one network and another.
It is necessary to consider that the communication of a network is physically and technically limited by the boundaries of the network itself: therefore, if - as it happens all the time - you need to communicate with devices, nodes or networks outside your network, it is necessary to have a gateway available.
Therefore, when one network wishes to communicate with another, the data is passed to the gateway and then routed to its destination via the most efficient route.
The problem is that it may be possible that the networks do not speak the same language or do not use the same communication protocol: the main task of the gateway, precisely because it is the point of interchange between networks, is to perform a translation of the different communication protocols and data formats that may be very different from each other.
Put in other terms, gateways are network protocol converters, capable of joining two networks so that devices on one network can communicate with those on another.
The most common use is as a bridge between two controllers of different brands: the gateway provides a solution that requires no programming, no commissioning and no maintenance. An extremely simple solution.
The IoT gateway is a physical device or software that serves as an interconnection point between the cloud and various industrial devices. All data moving through the IoT gateway - thanks to it, you can turn data into practical information with secure connectivity and uninterrupted performance, so you can harness the full power and make your business fly.
At its most basic level, the IoT gateway facilitates connections between different data sources and different destinations. IoT gateways are emerging as an essential component for building robust IoT networks and increasing computing power under various scenarios such as Edge computing.
