IoT Introduction

IoT Introduction

The Internet of Things (IoT) module provides a centralized platform for managing connected devices, machines, and operational data. It enables organizations to monitor assets, configure devices, and collect data from connected equipment in a structured and efficient manner.

The module helps users organize IoT resources, manage device configurations, and ensure reliable data communication between physical devices and the application.

IoT Module Structure​

The IoT module consists of the following components:

Dashboard​

The Dashboard provides an overview of IoT activities and device-related information. It allows users to monitor system status and access key operational data from a single location.

Masters​

The Masters section contains the core configurations required to set up and manage the IoT environment.

Division​

Used to create and manage organizational divisions within the system.

Location​

Used to define and maintain locations where devices and machines are deployed.

Asset / Machine​

Used to manage machine and asset information that is monitored through the IoT platform.

Machine Configuration​

Used to configure machine-specific parameters and communication settings.

Data Point Template​

Used to define reusable templates for collecting and organizing machine and device data.

Device Model​

Used to create and manage standard device model definitions.

Product Device​

Used to associate devices with specific products and maintain product-device mappings.

Device​

Used to register, configure, and manage individual IoT devices.

Data Flow Service​

The Data Flow Service manages the communication and movement of data between connected devices and the application. It ensures that device data is collected and processed for monitoring and operational purposes.

The IoT module can be accessed using the following menu structure:

  • Dashboard
