Building Monitoring Solution: HMS Networks and Tata Communications Collaboration

HMS Industrial Networks and Tata Communications are introducing an asset management demo solution built on PTC's Thingworx platform. Increasing the visibility of machines and systems owned or managed by an enterprise is a first step in a corporate digital transformation. There is no need to add sensors or additional devices, every company has a huge amount of data that is organically being generated by the machines and facilities they already own. Exposing that data without excessive investment can help to define the long-term connectivity requirements. In addition, it is critical to ensure secure device to edge global connectivity and the ability to manage that connectivity seamlessly without having to deploy additional systems.

HMS offers two gateway solutions that seamlessly integrate into the ThingWorx platform. The Netbiter Argos platform and the LC350/310 ThingWorx enabled gateway. Both gateways allow customers to collect data from virtually any machine in their Enterprise. Leveraging HMS products data from HVAC systems and entire building management systems leveraging BACNET can be integrated into ThingWorx. By offering connectivity to serial interfaces, analog sensors and Ethernet enabled products both legacy and new systems can be connected. Kevin Knake, Executive VP at HMS Industrial Networks By combining HMS edge gateways with Tata Communications we are able to quickly deploy and manage our 3G and 4G enabled gateways .
