In attempts to make production more efficient using IoT, in about 50% of the cases where IoT adoption stalls, the problem is in the device data collection process. Device manufacturers have responded by writing communication programs to match the devices that collect data using a PLC*. However, this involves an immense amount of development processes, and there is a shortage of human resources with the required skills to perform these functions. To resolve this issue, azbil devised the concept of the “multi-vendor IoT gateway (model NX-SVG),” which greatly reduces the development time model.
