HMS Industrial Networks Netbiter Argos remote management service

HMS Industrial Networks has expanded the Netbiter Remote Management offering to include three different services catering for different user needs. The dedicated services enable both quick connection to a single remote machine, as well as advanced projects including multiple installations and users.

Netbiter is a cloud-based solution for remote management of equipment such as power generators, PLCs, sensors, tanks, etc. Users connect a Netbiter gateway to their equipment and log in to the Netbiter Argos online data centre (www.netbiter.net), where they can access their devices online. Netbiter now includes three different services.

The included Remote Access service opens up a secure tunnel to a PLC or machine, enabling configuration, programming or debugging of almost any industrial device from any location. Users use their regular configuration software just as they would if they were on site.

The included View and Control service allows users to manage a single installation remotely. Online dashboards, alarms and trend graphs provide full insight from any location.

The subscription-based Manage and Analyze service is designed for large-scale, multiple installations with several users. Users can customise the Netbiter Argos interface and integrate data into their own system with the Netbiter Argos API.

HMS is also offering the Netbiter EC310 gateway, which sends data from the remote site via ethernet only. This is a complement to the EC350 which communicates both via the mobile phone network (3G/GPRS) and via ethernet.
