HIGHLIGHTS
- Factory operators use the AdiNexus Industrial IoT Gateway to collect and centralize operational data from machines, PLCs, controllers, meters, sensors, and other factory equipment.
- The gateway connects production machines, motors, drives, PLCs, energy meters, sensors, and other industrial devices into a unified remote monitoring environment.
- Multi-protocol connectivity enables integration between factory equipment, SCADA systems, and cloud monitoring applications.
- Edge data processing supports real-time equipment data acquisition, local processing, event detection, and data logging—even during network interruptions.
- Secure remote connectivity allows operators to monitor machine status, operating parameters, energy data, equipment conditions, and production-related information from centralized locations.
The Challenge – Managing Factory Equipment Remotely
Modern factories can contain large numbers of machines and equipment distributed across production lines, workshops, and different plant areas. Each machine continuously generates operational information that can help teams understand equipment performance and operating conditions.
Collecting this information from different machines and making it available through a centralized remote monitoring platform can be challenging without a dedicated industrial data connectivity layer.
Distributed Equipment Data
Machines, PLCs, drives, sensors, and meters generate operational information across different production areas.
Limited Centralized Visibility
Operators may not have a single view of machine status, operating parameters, energy consumption, and equipment conditions across the factory.
Multiple Machine Systems
Different machines, controllers, and industrial devices may use different communication protocols and interfaces.
Equipment Monitoring Gaps
Machine status, runtime, operating parameters, energy data, and equipment conditions may need to be collected from multiple sources before they can be analyzed centrally.
Delayed Fault Detection
Machine faults, abnormal operating conditions, communication failures, or equipment status changes may not be immediately visible to the central operations team.
Disconnected Monitoring Systems
Factory equipment data may remain separated from SCADA, cloud dashboards, production monitoring, and centralized plant management applications.

The Solution – Intelligent Factory Equipment Remote Monitoring
AdiNexus Gateway acts as the digital connectivity layer linking factory machines, PLCs, controllers, sensors, meters, and other industrial equipment with centralized monitoring platforms.
Installed within factory control panels or electrical infrastructure, the gateway collects equipment data, processes it locally, and transfers relevant information to SCADA or cloud applications.
Integrated Systems
AdiNexus connects with:
- Production machines
- PLCs and controllers
- Motors and drives
- VFDs
- Energy meters
- Power meters
- Industrial sensors
- Machine control systems
- Electrical panels
- Supporting field devices
Supports Modbus, OPC-UA, and MQTT for connecting different industrial devices and monitoring platforms.
Real-Time Monitoring & Alerts
Operators can monitor:
- Machine operating status
- Equipment runtime
- Motor and drive status
- Machine operating parameters
- Production-related data
- Energy and power parameters
- Equipment alarms and faults
- Communication status
- Sensor values
- Configured equipment conditions
This provides centralized visibility into factory equipment operation and machine conditions.
Edge Data Collection
AdiNexus processes factory equipment data close to the connected machines:
- Automatic equipment data acquisition
- Local parameter monitoring
- Data processing at the edge
- Event and alarm detection
- On-gateway data logging
- Local data buffering during connectivity interruptions
Collected data can be synchronized with connected monitoring platforms after network connectivity is restored.
Equipment Fault & Event Monitoring
The gateway can make configured machine and equipment conditions available to operators, including:
- Machine faults
- Drive and motor faults
- Equipment status changes
- Abnormal operating conditions
- Energy parameter changes
- Communication failures
- Configured operating thresholds
This helps operations and maintenance teams identify equipment conditions that may require inspection or maintenance.
Cloud & SCADA Integration
Collected factory equipment data can be connected to:
- Factory SCADA systems
- Cloud monitoring platforms
- Machine monitoring dashboards
- Production monitoring applications
- Central control room systems
- Plant performance monitoring platforms
This enables equipment data from multiple production areas to be accessed through a centralized monitoring environment.
Secure Data Communication
AdiNexus supports secure connectivity between factory equipment and monitoring platforms through:
- Encrypted data transmission
- Secure device communication
- Firewall protection
- Role-based access control
- VPN-ready connectivity
- Remote firmware updates
