The new ADAM-6000/6200 Secured Cloud I/O Series from Advantech is a next-level solution for Industrial IoT and remote asset management.
With its state-of-the-art IoT capabilities, the ADAM-6000/6200 series 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 allowlisting positions this series as a top-tier solution for the future of distributed asset management.
This series is tailored for use in smart factories, the green energy sector, smart cities, logistics, transportation and telecommunications, offering a flexible, scalable solution for managing assets across multiple sites.
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
At the core of the ADAM series is a robust security framework. The series implements X.509 certificate, Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption, ensuring secure data transmission between devices and the cloud. This encryption, combined with advanced Cipher Suites and IP Allowlisting, offers an impenetrable 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 series streamlines device management, offering insights into overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), predictive maintenance and lifecycle management. This approach enhances overall operational efficiency, minimises unplanned downtime, and extends the lifespan of industrial assets.
Diverse applications across industries
The ADAM-6000/6200 series is not just a product; it’s a versatile solution adept at addressing the nuanced demands of various sectors.
