Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is a leading semiconductor manufacturer that has built a system for real-time monitoring of dry vacuum pumps that has improved work efficiency and reduced overall production costs by 30 mln. dollar per year.


Eventually, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) provides companies with more comprehensive picture of current state and efficiency of equipment, contributes greatly to reduction of unscheduled downtime of production capacities and saves millions of dollars every year.

Protocols and hardware platforms for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

There are numerous protocols for management of various devices applied in the industrial environment. They include Modbus, Profibus, EtherCAT, and others. However, in the IIoT environment, MQTT protocol got widespread most. To get to know how MQTT protocol works, what advantages it has and why it is applied in IIoT, read the article: What is MQTT and why do we need it in IIoT? Description of MQTT protocol.

Equipment for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) that IPC2U Company can offer you:

Web programmable IoT controller
A web programmable controller with an ability for integration with IoT cloud systems by means of an MQTT protocol. The controller uses an MQTT client to interact with local and cloud MQTT brokers. Its functions include: data publishing, data acquisition from external MQTT brokers and management of devices connected to the controller when receiving MQTT commands. Hence, it can play the role of a gateway between the devices connected to it and cloud systems.
