Condition monitoring is the foundation of predictive maintenance, giving organizations the ability to anticipate equipment failures before they happen. Instead of reacting to breakdowns, condition monitoring allows maintenance teams to track the ongoing health of critical assets and act only when needed. The result? Less downtime, lower costs, and longer asset lifespans.

Wouldn't it be powerful to move your device application and processing to the device's 'cloud instance'?  Now you can.  We released our script application interface several months ago with selected customers and we've now made it available publicly to all accounts.

Concrete is one of the most widely used materials in the world and is a constant presence in our daily lives. From parking garages and bridges to roads and buildings, concrete forms the infrastructure and foundation for much of our commercial, residential, and transportation structures.

Overview

Sensors can be fitted to industrial pumps to monitor a number of data sources, like RPMs, device and ambient temperature, electrical current, humidity, and vibration. This data can then be aggregated and incorporated into advanced algorithms that detect performance anomalies, predict machine failure, and enable preventative maintenance to reduce costly downtime.

Wireless sensors are often used on factory floors to help monitor environmental conditions and machine status to proactively identify issues that may cause down time, track factory processes, and identify opportunities for optimization.

In part one of this blog series entitled “How to Quickly Deploy IoT Pilots,” we discussed how an IoT pilot project is often a good first step to understand the feasibility of an IoT idea and provided some tips for quickly deploying a successful pilot project. Once you’ve completed a pilot and built confidence in your IoT solution, it’s time to move to full-scale production.

Yearly event brings together hundreds of developers, entrepreneurs and executives to build a deeper understanding of IoT

IoT cyber security has increasingly become an important topic of discussion for many organizations. In Cyber Security Hub's article, Exosite CTO Mark Benson weighs in on the security conversation sharing that IoT devices are easy to hack because majority of them are visible, pervasive, and geographically distributed. He also discusses how IoT brings a whole new set of security challenges which can be problematic for IT organizations who are not trained or equipped to manage IoT devices. For more information on IoT and cyber security, read the full article on Cyber Security Hub.

In a previous blog entitled, The Stages of the IoT Project Lifecycle, we walked through all of the stages each IoT project faces. In this blog we highlight the final stage of your IoT journey, known as the Commercialize stage, to give you the questions you need to have answered and some tips to avoid the common obstacles many organizations face so you can successfully commercialize your IoT product.

Forbes Technology Council members, including Exosite CTO Mark Benson, addresses cybersecurity trends companies of all sizes should be aware of in a new Forbes article entitled, "Nine Things That Are Poised to Impact Cybersecurity." Mark Benson states that cybersecurity attacks on IoT devices will be one of the nine trends companies should pay close attention to. Read the full article to stay up to date on cybersecurity trends so you can help keep your company safe.

Industrial IoT is more than connecting assets, it’s about obtaining meaningful and actionable analytics from their performance via Analytics Platform solutions. Ten of the top solutions for Industrial IoT platforms were reviewed in a recent article published by Smarterchain entitled, “IIOT Analytics Platforms: 10 Services Measuring the Performance of the Internet of Things.” Exosite’s Murano IoT Platform was listed as a top solution due to its customizability, end-to-end and ready-made solution, and having a cloud infrastructure that scales according to needs.
