HMS Networks has enhanced its remote connectivity solutions with the integration of recently acquired software solutions, WEBfactory i4connected and i4scada, under the Ewon® brand. The new end-to-end IIoT offering enables secure remote machine access, data collection, and visualization through an easy-to-use web interface, helping to minimize the risk of costly machine downtime
HMS Networks has recently launched a new offering under the Ewon brand, reinforcing its remote connectivity solutions. The offering, which features the recently acquired software solutions WEBfactory i4connected and i4scada, provides an end-to-end Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solution that enables secure remote machine access and data collection for proactive and efficient maintenance of machines.
The Ewon offering is touted as the world’s most used solutions for remote machine connectivity. Thus, enabling machine builders and their customers to easily unlock and leverage precious data from their machines. The new i4 software solutions can help improve decision-making, control, and service by gathering data from connected machines. Additionally, it can minimize the risk of costly machine and system downtime by presenting data in an easy-to-use web interface..
When you install an Ewon gateway, such as Flexy or Netbiter, to a machine, it activates the i4connected software. It collects data from Ewon gateways and presents it to the user in a user-friendly graphical interface. We display complex industrial processes in a straightforward manner, enabling users to securely connect. Thus, enabling them to obtain data from plants, buildings, machines, equipment, and sensors. I4connected facilitates data-driven decisions and predictive maintenance by visualizing and analyzing data in real-time.
The new offering features Ewon i4scada, a web-based SCADA software that enhances real-time efficiency of complex on-site industrial processes. Furthermore, factory owners and system integrators can benefit from data-driven decisions to enhance productivity and cost optimization.
According to Alexander Hess, General Manager of HMS Networks’ Business Unit Ewon, the integration of Ewon gateways Flexy and Netbiter with the state-of-the-art i4connected software is a perfect demonstration of HMS Networks’ “Hardware Meets Software” approach. Moreover, machine builders and their clients can easily obtain and leverage machine data to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs.
