Internet of Things (IoT)

IoT gateways and modules to connect your plant to the cloud.

iEngineering provides complete industrial automation services around IoT modules – from selection and integration through to testing, commissioning and ongoing optimisation. We connect your sensors, PLCs and equipment to secure IoT platforms so you can monitor, analyse and act on data in real time.

What do we mean by IoT modules?

IoT modules and gateways sit between your field devices and IT/OT systems, collecting data from sensors, PLCs and meters and securely publishing it to dashboards, analytics tools and business applications.

  • Connect legacy PLCs, drives and instruments without replacing them
  • Standardise and expose process data for reporting and analytics
  • Enable remote monitoring, alarms and digital services for your plant

What a good IoT solution should deliver

  • Industrial-grade hardware designed for 24/7 operation
  • Support for common fieldbuses and protocols (Modbus, Profinet, OPC UA, etc.)
  • Hardened network design and cyber-security controls built-in
  • Clean data models that your engineers can easily work with

IoT and edge platforms we support

We work with leading industrial IoT platforms and gateways to bring structured, cyber-secure data from the shopfloor into your analytics, CMMS, MES and business systems.

SIEMENS – SIMATIC IOT2000 / IOT2050

Edge gateways for connecting machines and sensors

Siemens SIMATIC IOT2000 and IOT2050 devices are industrial-grade IoT gateways based on open Linux platforms. They read data from PLCs, sensors and serial/legacy equipment and publish it to higher-level systems.

  • Support for industrial protocols and fieldbuses
  • Pre-processing, buffering and filtering of data at the edge
  • Integration with MindSphere and third-party applications
  • Mounting and enclosures suitable for control panels and plant rooms
