The ADAM-6000/6200 series with state-of-the-art IoT capabilities offers direct cloud management and control of I/O devices. The integration of MQTT protocols and robust security features like X.509 certificate, Transport Layer Security (TLS) and IP allow-listing positions the series as a top-tier solution for the future of distributed asset management.
Advantech has tailored the series for smart factories and cities, green energy, logistics, transportation and telecommunications industries, offering a flexible, scalable solution for managing assets across multiple sites.
A transformative approach to remote I/O control
The ADAM-6000/6200 series is engineered to facilitate direct management of I/O devices through the cloud. This transformative approach enables seamless monitoring and control of distributed assets, ensuring real-time data acquisition and decision-making across multiple sites.
Enhanced security for industrial IoT
A robust security framework is at the core of the ADAM series. The series implements X.509 certificate and TLS encryption, ensuring secure data transmission between devices and the cloud. This encryption, combined with advanced Cipher Suites and IP allow-listing, offers a barrier against unauthorised access, making it ideal for cloud-based IoT environments.
Simplified over-the-air (OTA) updates
The series champions ease-of-use with its OTA update feature. This functionality allows for efficient mass deployment of firmware, certificates and configurations, significantly reducing downtime and maintenance costs. It ensures that all connected devices are uniformly updated, maintaining system integrity and performance.
Cloud-based device management
Advantech’s ADAM-6000/6200 series streamlines device management, offering insights into overall equipment effectiveness, predictive maintenance and lifecycle management. This approach enhances overall operational efficiency, minimises unplanned downtime and extends the lifespan of industrial assets.
