New Solution Series "CONPROSYS" Takes Its M2M/IoT Business Global

The development of cloud service and communication technologies has made it possible to implement the structure of M2M/IoT at a low cost, in the manufacturing industry, "Sophistication of production systems" influenced by "Industry 4.0", which is originated from the German government, is accelerated by the IoT innovation around the world.

However, there has been a major challenge on how to cooperate host system with subsystem of coordinated devices, and how to integrate them. In host system, cloud-based platforms have come out one after another for visualization and big data analysis, and they create environment to facilitate the use of data. On the other hand, it takes great effort to integrate with sensors and field equipment, which are manufactured by each company and use communication and data format that are different depending on needs of users, in subsystem.

Contec has been providing DAQ, measurement and control expansion boards which are compliant with a wide variety sensors and field equipment. For more than 30 years, it has retained market leadership in the PC-based electronic measurement industry and the factory automation industry. Contec has delivered remote monitoring systems in photovoltaic generation and infrastructure equipment at more than 20,000 sites. Contec''s rich developed technologies and proven know-how will solve customers'' challenges with establishment of easy-to-use M2M/IoT systems which provide “Simple” and “Convenient” devices and cloud services.

Contec''s “CONPROSYS” is provided not only as a package for various industries including factory automation, social infrastructures, renewable energy, and smart agriculture, but also as a stand-alone component.

The CONPROSYS is pursued to build a connectivity in both hardware and software. It is designed to facilitate installation and cabling, and to embed control script without programing knowledge.

In addition, the new series is compliant with various communication standards, OPC-UA, EtherCAT, and Modbus, than has made it possible to build applications for various industries with multivendor structure.
