Create added value by expanding machines and systems
As digitalization gathers pace, create added value by taking advantage of the easy commissioning of machine and system expansions. CONTACT’s Device Management module makes it easy for you to identify new device parts and link them to higher-level machines or systems. Automatic login functions provide you with support when registering new parts on our Elements for IoT – thanks to rule-based assignment to fleets, for example. Once registration has been completed, bidirectional communication is readied.

Monitor the status of IoT gateways
A promising retrofit measure is to expand existing systems by adding IoT gateways for reading out measuring and control data. The gateway accepts operating data and is also able to consolidate it. The Device Management module assumes responsibility for monitoring the IoT Gateway as a link between the devices and the IoT platform. This means that you can keep track of the current network status, are able to respond to failures immediately and, in the event of an error, also have access to historical data.

Automated software updates for entire fleets
Updates provide new software functions and close security gaps. It is important that updates are performed efficiently, promptly and securely, especially when large fleets in the field are involved. This is exactly what device management in combination with fleet management does. Software version management is performed on the digital twin of the device in question. This means that an automatic update process is carried out based on the actual and target status and that the configuration history is documented.
