IoTstar: Cloud Management for WISE, PMC & PMD Controllers

Introduction:

IoTstar, developed by ICP DAS USA, is a cloud-based software platform for remotely monitoring and managing WISE, PMC, and PMD controllers across a wide range of Industrial IoT applications.

Featuring an intuitive web-based interface, IoTstar allows users to quickly configure systems, monitor device status, and manage controller settings with just a few clicks, without any programming required.

Once connected through an Ethernet or 4G network, IoTstar enables secure communication with remote controllers for system configuration, real-time monitoring, and firmware updates. The platform can even access controllers deployed behind firewalls or within private IP networks, simplifying remote device management regardless of network complexity.

IoTstar, developed by ICP DAS USA, is a flexible cloud management platform for WISE, PMC, and PMD controllers. It can be deployed on a standard PC as a private cloud solution or installed on virtual machines hosted on public cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Beyond remote maintenance and firmware updates, IoTstar collects operational data from connected I/O modules, sensors, and power meters, then stores it in a centralized database for monitoring and analysis. The platform provides real-time status visibility and supports cloud-based automation and control applications.

Using standard SQL databases, IoTstar easily integrates with analytics and visualization tools such as Power BI, as well as SCADA systems, helping organizations quickly build Industrial IoT and Big Data solutions while reducing deployment time and costs.

Key Features

• Private or public cloud deployment options to fit your infrastructure needs.
• Automatic data collection from controllers, sensors, I/O modules, and power meters.
• Database integration for centralized data storage and analysis.
• Compatible with analytics and SCADA platforms for advanced reporting and visualization.
• Scalable cloud architecture for Industrial IoT applications.

• Can be installed on a Windows 7/8/10 or Windows Server system, meaning that you can implement Private IoT Cloud solutions using IoTstar and WISE/PMC/PMD controllers.

• Enables remote maintenance and firmware update functions on the WISE/PMC/PMD controllers via a user-friendly and intuitive web interface.

• Collects real-time and historical data from WISE, PMC, and PMD controllers and stores it in a database for easy access and analysis. It also supports remote control of connected DO and AO channels using SQL-based commands.

Note: IoTstar currently only supports MS SQL databases.

• IoTstar integrates with Microsoft SQL Server, SCADA systems, Power BI, and cloud platforms, allowing sensor and power meter data to be displayed and analyzed in real time through your existing monitoring and analytics tools.

• Data can be directly reviewed from the sensors and power meters via the built-in IoTstar web interface.

• IoTstar by ICP DAS USA simplifies Industrial IoT data collection by gathering sensor data and storing it in a centralized database. This enables faster analysis, improved visibility, and proactive maintenance to help prevent equipment failures.
