Within the next ten years, 85% of the IIoT adoption curve value will come from existing assets. This represents billions of potential data streams from non-networked devices and stranded sensor systems. B+B SmartWorx hardware, integrated with OSIsoft, can help you harness the power of new data.

With a breadth of innovative intelligent devices, you can extend OSIsoft to the Network Edge, where the IIoT system meets the world. Extending your reach can expand essential network roles, drive your system forward in data access, storage, analytics and integration.

At B+B SmartWorx powered by Advantech we’re constantly looking for new data and networking solutions for our customers so you can get the most out of your data—and make it a painless process. If you don’t see a hardware solution you need, please contact us. We’re growing every day.

4 Benefits of Utilizing B+B SmartWorx to take PI to the Network Edge

1. Data Access for local decision-making via PI Interfaces and Connectors
2. Edge Analytics that filter raw data and save bandwidth—ultimately cutting costs
3. Data Storage to archive locally before delivery over intermittent networks
4. Integration to view traditional data sources together

Securely connect to virtually any PLC, OPC-UA server or device to transmit and receive edge-of-network data

The UNO is a pocket-sized Smart Factory Edge Gateway that is fan-less and ruggedized for business critical and mission critical applications. Software allows the UNO to transmit data using OPC-UA, MQTT SparkPlug B, Modbus TCP or other industrial protocols. The UNO can also be used in combination with B+B SmartWorx sensor nodes to easily add sensor data. Additional IPC sizes are available.

When a “stranded asset” is really stranded

SmartFlex LTE & LAN Router

The SmartFlex cellular gateway is an advanced LTE router that can bridge remote devices and entire networks to your local SCADA system. Wide temperature ratings and a wide range of Ethernet and serial port options make SmartFlex an ideal solution for integrating data from remote locations into your SCADA and IIoT system.

SmartStart LTE Cat 1 Router

SmartStart is an LTE Cat 1 router optimized for cost-sensitive applications and features one Ethernet and one RS-232 port. The router provides diagnostic functions, which include automatic monitoring of the wireless and wired connections, automatic restart in case of connection losses and a hardware watchdog that monitors router status.

Wzzard Wireless Mesh Sensing Nodes

Wzzard Sensing Nodes are tailor-made for bringing hard-to-reach sensor data into SCADA and IIoT solutions. Wzzard sensor nodes are battery powered and IP67- and C1D2-rated, making them easy to integrate even in harsh environments. They utilize Smartmesh IP, a self-forming, self-healing wireless mesh protocol that not only provides a highly-reliable and resilient network, but also one that’s easy to install.

WISE-4000 Wireless I/O Modules

The WISE-4000 series has broad adoptability, making it a reliable source of big data that benefits its users in identifying next steps and actions to take. WISE can log up to 10,000 data samples with a time stamp; I/O data can be logged periodically, and when the I/O status changes. Once the memory is full, users can choose to overwrite old data, ring log or stop the log function.

ADAM-6000 Ethernet I/O Modules

ADAM Ethernet I/O modules utilize an Ethernet connection to connect to sensors and I/O into various software solutions. A wide variety of I/O types makes it easy to find an ADAM module for most any application. Modbus TCP and MQTT protocol support makes integration easy.
