Description
IoTstar is a software package developed for the WISE/PMC/PMD controllers for a variety of Industrial IoT applications. IoTstar can be installed on a general PC platform and works as a Private IoT Cloud system, or on the VM (Virtual Machine) platform of Microsoft Azure, IBM Bluemix, Google Cloud or Amazon AWS, etc. and works as a Public IoT Cloud system.
Using IoTstar to build the IoT Cloud system, it can provide the following services:
During the IoT Cloud system development, there is no-programming-required, and the system setting can be completed only through the web interface operation. In additon, through the SQL command, IoTstar can be quickly integrated with the Cloud platforms, data analysis tools (Power BI, Google Data Studio or SCADA system etc.) to help users quickly build the “IoT + Big Data” Cloud application and significantly reduce the time and cost of building the “IoT + Big Data” Cloud application.
System Architecture
Features
Flexible installation environment supported to quickly set up IoT Cloud system
If the user concerns about the environment of the system operation or data storage, the IoTstar can also be installed on a private Windows PC (Windows 7/8/10, Windows Server) to implement the Private IoT Cloud solutions on the WISE/PMC/PMD controllers, and then the user can manage the environment by himself.
Controller Remote Access/Maintenance Service
Sensor Data Collection Service
Please note: The Service support the mechanism of " Historical Sensor data automatically send back (to IoTstar) & recovery when disconnected network is resumed.”
For general data collection, the sensor data will be sent to the control center and imported into the Database at cloud. But when the network experience a disconnection, the data transmitted during the disconnection period will be lost. "IoTstar (with WISE/PMC/PMD)" supports the Sensor Data Recovery Mechanism. When experiences network disconnection, all data will be stored in the SD cards in WISE/PMC/PMD. And when the network return to normal status, the data stored in SD card will be re-sent to IoTstar, and imported into Database to ensure the integrity of historical data.
Sensor Data Visualization Service
IoTstar also provides IoTstar Dashboard Service package (Option). Through the Dashboard editor and a variety of Widget components provided by IoTstar, user can quickly setup the Dashboard page for the Real-Time sensor data (and Power data) collected from the WISE/PMC/PMD controllers according to their needs to review the operation status of the application system in real time.
Bot Service on Controller by using Mobile Device (Option)
IoTstar provides IoTstar Bot Service package for two-way message interactions between the WISE/PMC/PMD controller managed by IoTstar and LINE chat rooms. Users can query the real-time sensor data (and/or Power data) collected from the WISE/PMC/PMD controllers and be able to change the value of DO/AO output channels anytime and anywhere by LINE App. In addition, with the iCAM IP Camera, it can also receive the video recording events on the application site, so that the users can review the operating status of the equipment through their mobile phones even they are not close by.
Why IoTstar?
By using "IoTstar + WISE/PMC/PMD" solution, the users can quickly build the IoT cloud system to perform the remote maintenance for a machine/Facility, as well as the remote monitoring of the environment. The "IoTstar + WISE/PMC/PMD" solution features the following benefits:
| Items | Description | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| System Installation | IoTstar can be flexibly installed on private PC system or on the VM of the Public Cloud platform. | Appropriate installation environment can be selected for the IoT system according to specific requirements such as "low cost" or "security". |
| Network Setting | Only need to set "Static IP" or "DDNS + Dynamic IP" for the IoTstar. | Dramatically reduce the complexity and cost in network setting. |
| System Implementation | The system settings of IoTstar/PMC/WISE/PMD can be completed through the web page interface. | No programming is required. The cost of system setting can be significantly reduced. |
| Controller Maintenance | Operator can perform remote maintenance for controllers via IoTstar at any time and any place. | Provide immediate maintenance on controllers, save the transportation cost when performing maintenance operations. |
| Sensor Data Storage | IoTstar can import the Sensors data into database automatically , and work with the data analysis tools by SQL command. | The status of the monitored equipment can be known in advance to avoid possible damage. |
