The new AirVantage Smart Automation extension, part of the company's cloud platform for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications, provides connections to industrial equipment and embeds business logic without additional programming.
The upside to this cloud service is equipment manufacturers and service
providers can rapidly create and deploy new services for their
particular manufacturing environment. The company cites these business
advantages for use with their cloud services: tiered monitoring and
maintenance; demand response applications; and time- or location-based
equipment usage pricing models.
The other big advantage with this cloud platform is the removal of
programming at the machine level, moving the embedded communications to
the client and server. Another feature with this cloud platform is
remote application updates via the AirVantage Ready Agent logic.
The company touts a broad range applications for this platform: oil and gas, water treatment and green power generation. Sierra Wirelesswww.sierrawireless.com.
