Plug-and-play IoT kit monitors machine conditions – Drives and Controls Magazine
Bosch and Harting have joined forces to produce what they describe as the first plug-and-play IoT kit for industrial applications. The kit – which is IP54-protected for use without a protective enclosure – allows quick and easy digital condition monitoring of any type of machinery.
Selecting, installing and integrating condition-monitoring components into existing infrastructures can be costly because IT specialists are often needed. According to Bosch and Harting, previous IoT starter kits were suitable for prototyping, but were not designed for long-term use in industrial environments.
