Industrial IoT (IIoT)

Driving operational efficiency and resilience through secure Industrial IoT solutions.

Industrial IoT (IIoT) transforms how industries monitor, control, and optimise their operations — delivering measurable gains in productivity, safety, and cost-efficiency. Robustel empowers manufacturers, utilities, and infrastructure operators with rugged, secure, and scalable IIoT solutions that connect assets reliably in any environment. Our hardware, software, and global support network help decision-makers cut downtime, streamline maintenance, and accelerate digital transformation. With proven success in mission-critical deployments worldwide, we provide the trusted platform organisations need to achieve operational excellence and competitive advantage in an increasingly connected world.

Why Operations and Engineering Teams Choose Robustel:

Built for Brownfield Reality

PLCs, drives, meters, and vendor panels on Ethernet, RS-485/RS-232, and I/O. Our routers and edge gateways slot into existing cabinets, segment traffic, and provide a clean, outbound path no rip-and-replace of controls.

RCMS Monitoring & Control

See fleet health, signal, and data use at a glance; standardise builds with templates and Zero-Touch; roll firmware/config in rings; and audit every change. When hands-on work is needed, open least-privilege, time-boxed access via RobustVPN fully logged and scoped without exposing the OT network.

Edge2Cloud Integration

Start simple: read Modbus RTU/TCP and digital/analogue I/O, normalise to compact JSON, buffer through dropouts, and publish over MQTTS to your broker or cloud. Panels stay lean while data arrives clean and consistent.

Run Logic at the Edge

Transition to EG-series Edge Gateways running RobustOS Pro, an industrial embedded Linux (Debian) environment. Build and deploy containers for filtering, enrichment, preprocessing, and site logic in a familiar Linux workflow, while routing, VPNs, VLANs, and firewall are handled by our established RobustOS.

How Robustel Helps You Overcome Operational Challenges:

Use this as your quick map from requirement to control. We’ll supply detail and templates during scoping.

Fast, error-proof commissioning
Large rollouts stumble on inconsistent installs. We standardise onboarding with kitted configs, Zero-Touch enrolment, and install checks (signal, SIM, uplink, PLC link) that generate an acceptance record—so teams leave site knowing the asset is live and traceable.
Clear governance across many stakeholders
Plants often mix site IT, OEMs, and integrators. We separate duties with role-based access, time-boxed maintenance windows, and scoped permissions per device/service backed by an activity log that shows who changed what, when.
Hardware built for industrial duty
Cabinets run hot, noisy, and 24/7. Robustel hardware is DIN-rail friendly, EMC-hardened, and temperature-tolerant, with global carrier/regulatory approvals and long-lifecycle availability. That means fewer swap-outs, predictable spares, and devices that survive the panel they’re installed in.
The right interfaces without extra boxes
Keep panels lean. Our devices combine Ethernet switching, RS-485/RS-232, DI/DO, GNSS, Wi-Fi, and dual-SIM cellular in one platform, so you connect PLCs, drives, meters, and sensors directly. Fewer protocol adapters, fewer power supplies, fewer points of failure.
Control cost and change impact at scale
Data budgets and busy lines hate surprises. Set estate-wide caps and alerts, schedule updates for off-peak windows, and roll changes in rings with pre-flight checks and automatic rollback on failure. You keep spend predictable and avoid production downtime while still moving the fleet forward.

IoT Routers or Edge Gateways: What to Use, and When:

The quick take

Choose a Router for secure connectivity and light protocol bridging (great with Edge2Cloud). Choose an EG-series Edge Gateway with RobustOS Pro when you also need an industrial embedded Linux (Debian) environment to run containers and process data on site.

When a Router is the right tool

Connectivity first: Primary/failover internet, VLANs/firewall, VPN, QoS—clean outbound paths that fit existing panels.

Simple data flows: Use Edge2Cloud to read Modbus RTU/TCP & I/O, normalize to compact JSON, buffer through dropouts, and publish over MQTTS.

Low/medium event rates: Seconds/minutes sampling where cloud analytics do the heavy lifting.

Lean hardware footprint: DIN-rail form factor, dual-SIM, RS-485/RS-232, DI/DO, Wi-Fi/Ethernet switching—fewer add-on boxes, faster installs.

When an Edge Gateway is needed

Process at the edge: Run containers on RobustOS Pro for filtering, enrichment, KPIs, batching, or small REST/gRPC APIs beside the machines.

Latency & bandwidth pressures: Millisecond decisions, high-rate sensors, or expensive backhaul where you send summaries not raw streams.

Custom integrations: Talk to vendor SDKs, proprietary drivers, or legacy ASCII locally; publish clean outputs upstream.

All-in-one footprint: Replace “router + protocol box + PC” with a single industrial gateway.

Either one you choose Robustel Guarantees

Industrial networking: VLANs, firewall, VPNs, policy routing, dual-SIM/cellular + Ethernet WAN.
Fleet operations: RCMS for Zero-Touch provisioning, templates, ring updates, monitoring, alerts, and full audit trails.
Security & Compliance: Signed firmware, encrypted config, role-based access, session controls to keep your cybersecurity standards in place while global compliance certificates make sure you can operate anywhere you need to.
