A secure technology that delivers real-time industrial data analytics on data collected from PLCs and other automation devices has been released by partners HTM Sensors Inc. and Route1 Inc. The technology, called Spotlight, Powered by MobiNet, provides quanti- tative-based actionable information to drive industrial process efficiency and maximize productivity while minimizing unplanned downtime and cost, according to company officials.
The product collects PLC data and analyzes it to help users identify automa- tion issues and opportunities for improve- ment. Spotlight, Powered by MobiNet, includes a hardened data-collection device, which resides in a user’s plant and is programmed to communicate, using industry standard OPC/UA, with PLCs and other controlling devices. For security, it is internally firewalled from the plant’s network. All data are encrypt- ed and transmitted using Route1’s Cryp- toPath secure communication service, featuring MobilNet, which confirms the identities of individual users and their entitlement to access specific applica- tions, data or resources. It securely transports, transforms and aggregates the process data into an enterprise- grade database.
The product offers automated indus- trial-data analytic capabilities; provides customer dashboard functionality, iden- tifying in real-time the top productivity issues and recommendations; and includes a content-management system as well
