Industrial IoT Hardware Solutions for Data Acquisition and Edge Computing
JIERUICC provides industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) hardware platforms for system integrators, equipment manufacturers, and enterprise projects. Our industrial mini PCs, embedded gateway platforms, and industrial panel PCs connect PLCs, meters, and sensors, enabling local data acquisition and processing while integrating with existing SCADA, MES, or cloud platforms.
As a Mini PC OEM/ODM manufacturer, we support hardware selection, interface customization, and volume production. Protocol conversion, data analytics, and platform integration are implemented through project-specific software and verified during sample testing.
Connect existing equipment. Turn field data into actionable operational information.
1. Connect Legacy Equipment and Reduce Manual Data Collection
Factories and commercial buildings often operate equipment with different serial interfaces, network connections, and communication protocols. This makes centralized monitoring difficult and leaves operators dependent on manual readings.
The GB1000-V1 industrial mini PC provides a practical hardware platform for data acquisition gateways. It features six COM ports and dual 2.5GbE Ethernet ports. COM1 and COM2 can be configured for RS232, RS422, or RS485, supporting connections to serial instruments alongside Ethernet-based equipment.
Deployment begins by confirming device protocols, register addresses, and polling intervals. Compatible acquisition software then reads data through supported protocols, such as Modbus RTU or Modbus TCP, standardizes the data fields, and forwards the results to the management platform through MQTT or HTTPS.
Typical applications include:
Equipment operating status monitoring
Electricity metering and energy management
Building utility monitoring
Warehouse environmental monitoring
Analog sensors require suitable data acquisition modules; they cannot connect directly to standard COM ports.
2. Process Data Locally and Continue Logging During Network Outages
Sending all raw data directly to the cloud increases dependence on network availability and can raise transmission and storage costs.
The GT6500 industrial mini PC can host local acquisition services, data buffering, and analytics applications. Intel Core i5/i7 configurations, dual Ethernet ports, and NVMe and SATA storage options make it suitable for projects running multiple edge applications.
The recommended software workflow is to:
Filter invalid readings, standardize timestamps, and check configured thresholds locally.
Write essential records to persistent storage and upload alarms or summaries as required.
Continue local logging during network outages, then forward buffered records after reconnection, using unique record identifiers to prevent duplicates.
Storage capacity should be calculated from the sampling frequency, record size, and maximum expected outage duration. Projects requiring protection against power loss should include a UPS and a tested recovery procedure.
Typical applications include production-line monitoring, equipment condition monitoring, energy data aggregation, and distributed site management.
3. Connect Remote Sites and Simplify Maintenance
Pump stations, equipment rooms, and distributed facilities may lack fixed broadband. On-site troubleshooting can also require costly travel.
The GB2000 with optional 4G connectivity offers a hardware option for these locations. Deployment requires a compatible cellular module, antenna, and operator SIM card matched to local network bands.
Combined with the customer’s remote management software, this configuration can support device status checks, log retrieval, and remote maintenance.
Configure encrypted connections, unique device identities, and appropriate access permissions, and verify reconnection after communication failures. The two Ethernet ports can serve the equipment network and the upstream network separately; effective network isolation requires configured routing and firewall policies.
Where automatic switching between wired and cellular connections is required, failover must be configured and tested as part of the project.
4. Display Operational Data Where It Is Needed
Operators need clear access to equipment status, alarms, and work instructions at the point of operation.
The GTY-215T industrial panel PC serves as an HMI or MES terminal. Its 21.5-inch touchscreen, fanless construction, and IP65-rated front panel make it suitable for integration into equipment panels and production workstations.
With the customer’s software, it can display operating parameters, energy trends, alarms, and work orders. The panel PC communicates with the edge gateway over the local network. If operation must continue during an internet outage, the necessary services and data should be hosted locally.
IP65 protection applies to the front panel. Installation must also protect rear connections and provide adequate space for heat dissipation.
5. Move from Sample Validation to Volume Deployment
| Stage | Implementation | Acceptance Criteria |
| Requirements review | Define connected devices, protocols, data point counts, sampling intervals, power requirements, and environmental conditions. | An agreed interface list and hardware configuration. |
| Sample integration | Connect representative devices, install acquisition software, and integrate with the target platform. | Accurate readings and identifiable fault conditions. |
| On-site pilot | Test continuous acquisition, outage buffering, data retransmission, power recovery, and remote maintenance. | Data integrity, recovery time, and operating temperatures meet project requirements. |
| Volume deployment | Standardize hardware configurations, system images, device identification, and installation procedures. | Repeatable installation and straightforward maintenance across deployed units. |
For example, a factory energy monitoring project can use the GB1000-V1 to connect electricity meters and equipment controllers. Software aggregates energy readings locally before uploading them to the management platform, while a GTY-215T displays workshop consumption trends and alarms.
Where additional local processing capacity is required, the GT6500 can be evaluated as the edge computing platform.
This is a reference deployment approach. Final hardware configurations and unit quantities should be determined through workload assessment and on-site testing. Existing PLC control functions and safety interlocks should remain independently operational.
6. OEM/ODM Hardware Support for Your Project
JIERUICC evaluates customization requirements for motherboards, COM/LAN/USB interfaces, enclosures, branding, and packaging. Hardware configurations are selected according to installation space, computing workloads, and connectivity requirements.
We work with system integrators from sample validation through volume manufacturing, helping them establish IoT hardware platforms suited to their software and deployment environments.
Share your device interfaces, communication protocols, data point counts, installation conditions, and estimated order quantity to receive hardware selection and OEM/ODM recommendations for your project.
