SmartIO Gateway

Deliver Actionable Data to Decision Makers Anywhere on Any Device

Create any industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions in days, not months. Incorporate any asset no matter what kind it is or when it was made. The SmartIO gateway empowers you to collect data from all existing machines. Once connected, you can map data seamlessly via the deviceWISE® IIoT platform to any database and enterprise application, such as:

  • SAP
  • Oracle
  • IBM
  • SQL Server

Leave No Machine Behind

Legacy Machines with No Native Connectivity

SmartIO connects any equipment that doesn’t have a communication module embedded. You can collect data and actuate it in legacy machines through digital and analog ports.

Serial-Port-Only Legacy Machines

Legacy machines that only have serial ports were once thought to be islands. These machines can be connected to our platform through MTConnect adapters or other modern communication standards.

Ethernet-Ready Machines

Our platform will orchestrate data collection, edge logic and enterprise connectivity in a distributed architecture for devices with Ethernet capabilities.

Extend the Life of Your Legacy Assets

SmartIO gateway enables you to achieve an IIoT solution without ripping and replacing assets. You can keep using legacy assets while leveraging the full power of connecting, monitoring and controlling every machine on your plant floor.

Features to Connect Unconnected Assets Seamlessly

Model ADSC1

  • Designed and built with industrial-grade, vibration-resistant components
  • Digital input and output (four input, two output, two high-speed counters)
  • Analog input (two input, 0-20 mA current based)
  • Real-time clock (maintains date and time)
  • Non-volatile storage
  • Non-polling unsolicited messaging — provides minimal network overhead (message data is sent only upon status change)
  • Wired Ethernet connection

Model DS11

  • Designed and built with industrial-grade, vibration-resistant components
  • Digital input and output (eight input, eight output)
  • Non-volatile storage
  • Non-polling unsolicited messaging — provides minimal network overhead (message data is sent only upon status change)
  • Wired Ethernet connection

What Can Be Connected?

Machines that SmartIO and deviceWISE connect include:

  • Assets with analog sensors or discrete outputs
  • CNCs
  • Injection molders
  • Lathes
  • Motors
  • Pumps
  • Stamping machines
  • PLCs
  • DCSs
  • Robots

What Data Can You Collect?

With SmartIO and deviceWISE, you can collect any data, including:

  • Machine data or external sensors that may be measuring, sorting or counting
  • Downtime or unscheduled events (e.g., manual and emergency stops)
  • Machine on and off times
  • Cycle times (operator efficiency)
  • Part counts
  • Excessive vibration
  • Over or under temperature
  • Oil and coolant levels
  • Tool life

How Can You Leverage This Data?

  • Enterprise integration (e.g., MES, ERP and FIS connectors)
  • Gain deeper insight into downtime events with any third-party analytical toolsets
  • Preventative, predictive and prescriptive maintenance
  • Use data for OEE and downtime reduction and mitigation
  • As-built part quality control
  • Visualization via HMIs, smart boards or andon light stacks
