Plant automation, room automation, monitoring, alerting

With Aartesys systems, secure remote access to heating units and solar systems is a piece of cake. All you need is a computer with Internet access.

The same applies to remote programming of building controls, for example for elevator controls and communication systems, or when using KNX objects.

Remote programming and automatic update of locking systems are some of the preferred applications of Aartesys solutions.

Challenges

  • Different system landscapes from diverse manufacturers
  • Different lifecycles of the systems
  • Sometimes lack of know-how
  • Too much on-site support for the plants and too many individual alarms

Solutions

  • EasyGateway® as infrastructure gateway (IGW)
  • Sensors for leakage detection, temperature measurements, vibrations and position shifts
  • Room monitoring
  • Metering as the basis for energy efficiency

Customer benefits

  • IGW system as middle ware for many different system landscapes
  • IGW as interface to control centre systems
  • Unambiguous collective alarms
  • Reduction of expenditure for on-site support thanks to secure remote access to existing controls
  • Predictive maintenance and thus reduction of malfunctions and downtimes
  • Security

Industrial IoT platform AMIRA

The AMIRA management system is a highly scalable and modular expandable IIoT platform for device management, monitoring and fault detection, remote access for troubleshooting, as well as reporting and alerting.

AMIRA represents the central infrastructure for recording and managing data streams from and to communication gateways, edge devices, sensors. In this process, AMIRA serves as a data hub that facilitates secure and controllable communication with ERP’s, production systems, big data servers or support systems.

The AMIRA management system is based on the latest IP-based protocols and permits worldwide secure communication with the managed devices.

  • The fully IP-based device communication supports any wired IP communication as well as the growing range of mobile communication standards and mobile IoT communication offers.
  • The system functions have been designed for high operational security, especially for communication via mobile networks, and no special requirements, such as a fixed IP etc., are required.
  • The software architecture is geared towards maximum scalability.
  • Open modern northbound interfaces guarantee a seamless integration into peripheral systems and secure interoperability.
  • The security of the data is a top priority and ensured by the architecture, while secure communication is guaranteed through high-level and verified encryption processes.

I/O module

Our I/O module is the ideal addition to our EasyGateway® family. It permits the integration of analog and digital signals into an existing network and is excellently suited for performing easy switching tasks. The I/O module has four independently switchable digital inputs and respectively two outputs. The inputs/outputs and the I/O module are configured by the EasyGateway via the web browser.


Sensors

Almost always, customer projects involve some types of sensors, be it sensors for position change detection, or sensors for temperature, humidity and pressure measurements.

Based on all common protocols, such as e.g. MQTT, Aartesys integrates existing sensor products into client solutions or, where this standard portfolio is not sufficient, Aartesys designs sensors itself – such as e.g. the AarteLink®-GeoSensor for natural hazard alerting or high-precision temperature sensors operating with LoRa® wireless technology for a wide range of different applications, such as cooling equipment monitoring for retailers, medical technology or gastronomy.
