Industry 4.0


Industry 4.0 has arrived. Factory managers need to have accurate information, at all times and in real-time, from the production lines. Traditionally, radio and Serial connections are used for communication on the factory floor, but integration with automation systems via Ethernet and SCADA can make this communication cleaner and more agile and open up a range of new possibilities.



The integrated IIoT solution, or industrial IoT Bridgemeter, can connect to any machine or PLC in multiple locations, analyze and send information to the production manager, or directly to the PLC with the best settings to maximize performance and efficiency in real-time. Based on efficiency rules and predictive analysis, Bridgemeter, an industrial IoT (Internet of Things) monitoring system from Above-Net, suggests through an integrated task manager (checklist) maintenance suggestions or inspections for the team with the confirmation of the tasks performed in the field as well as checking the reading within normal operating standards after maintenance.



The machine Manufacturer receives information about the suggested maintenance schedule, and defective parts, while the customer can access the overall quality effectiveness in real time.



Above-Net has the experience and expertise for the immediate implementation of a system for Industry 4.0. Through sensors and remote connections with radio, fiber, or remote monitoring using, for example, industrial access points, LoRA equipment, PoE Switches, Serial x Ethernet Converters, and Serial Servers, our solutions allow the integration of traditional serial devices and machines (RS232/RS422 /RS485) to Ethernet networks in a robust and agile way.



This digitization process allows supervisors and plant managers to obtain production data in real-time and much more reliably, thanks to the much greater data transmission capacity. In addition, ring recovery protocols ensure network redundancy. The result is reflected in increased work efficiency, less downtime, and lower maintenance costs.
