Siemens provides the SIMATIC IOT2000 SG - Shield with a node - RED software example and all necessary interfaces. This enables users to put the system into operation via the Node - RED Dashboard and connect it to the cloud. At the same time, users can store the measured values recorded in MindSphere, our cloud - based, open IoT operating system, for example, and retrieve them again with our SITRANS Store IQ app, for example. You can also connect higher-level office business systems or individual applications for monitoring fill levels. For example to automate order processes or your delivery route planning.

The actual interface to the cloud is provided by our SIMATIC IOT2000 gateway family. Engineers simply plug the IOT2000 SG - Shield into the device, load the necessary software image onto the Micro SD Card, and you've already established your connection to the Internet of Things.

Thanks to integrated open source (Node-RED for connecting IoT components), the measured values do not remain trapped in a closed system, but can also be integrated into any manufacturer-independent system with little programming effort. This offers the user maximum flexibility and openness.

For the OEM sector we have a special variant, which is equipped with an RS 485 interface.

Use Cases

In industrial settings, engineers can use it to collect and analyze data from sensors and actuators, enabling predictive maintenance, quality control, and energy management applications. In educational institutions, it serves as an open-source platform for students to learn and experiment with IIoT technologies. It can also provide hands-on experiences in developing real-world applications. To obtain the most competitive quote, please contact our ANTLETS team.
