HIGHLIGHTS
- Automotive manufacturers use the AdiNexus Industrial IoT Gateway to collect and centralize operational data from production machines, PLCs, controllers, sensors, meters, and other automotive manufacturing equipment.
- The gateway connects assembly machines, CNC equipment, robotic systems, conveyors, PLCs, energy meters, sensors, and other production equipment into a unified data collection environment.
- Multi-protocol connectivity enables integration between automotive production equipment, SCADA platforms, and cloud monitoring applications.
- Edge data processing supports real-time production data acquisition, local processing, event detection, and data logging—even during network interruptions.
- Secure remote connectivity allows production teams to monitor machine status, production parameters, equipment conditions, energy data, and production line information from centralized locations.
The Challenge – Managing Automotive Production Data
Automotive manufacturing facilities can contain multiple production lines, machines, controllers, and supporting systems operating across different manufacturing stages. Each production area continuously generates operational data that is important for monitoring equipment and production performance.
Collecting this information from different automotive production systems and making it available through a centralized monitoring platform can be challenging without a dedicated industrial data connectivity layer.
Distributed Production Data
Assembly machines, CNC equipment, robotic systems, conveyors, PLCs, and other production equipment generate operational data across different manufacturing areas.
Limited Centralized Visibility
Production teams may not have a single view of machine status, production parameters, equipment conditions, and production line information.
Multiple Production Systems
Different automotive machines, controllers, robots, and industrial devices may use different communication protocols and interfaces.
Production Monitoring Gaps
Machine status, cycle information, equipment parameters, energy data, and production-related information may need to be collected from multiple sources before they can be analyzed centrally.
Delayed Fault Detection
Machine faults, equipment stoppages, abnormal operating conditions, and communication failures may not be immediately visible to the central production team.
Disconnected Monitoring Systems
Production equipment data may remain separated from SCADA, cloud dashboards, manufacturing monitoring, and centralized plant management applications.

This provides centralized visibility into automotive production equipment and manufacturing line conditions.
Edge Data Collection
AdiNexus processes automotive production data close to the connected equipment:
- Automatic production data acquisition
- Local machine 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.
Production Equipment Fault & Event Monitoring
The gateway can make configured machine and production conditions available to operators, including:
- Machine faults
- Equipment stoppages
- Motor and drive faults
- Production equipment status changes
- Abnormal operating conditions
- Communication failures
- Configured operating thresholds
This helps production and maintenance teams identify equipment conditions that may require inspection or maintenance.
Cloud & SCADA Integration
Collected automotive production data can be connected to:
- Automotive plant SCADA systems
- Cloud monitoring platforms
- Production dashboards
- Manufacturing monitoring applications
- Central control room systems
- Plant performance monitoring platforms
This enables data from multiple automotive production lines and equipment groups to be accessed through a centralized monitoring environment.
