M2M (machine-to-machine) is a general term for systems that enable
machines and equipment to communicate. The types of information going
to and fro between the remote instruments and devices and the host
center will enable a synchronized and harmonious operation to be
accomplished.
Real time data can be
collected from the field and enter a processing center where, with
other collective information, the system can make appropriate decisions
on operation, service, maintenance, and location.
 | iTrack supports a well established M2M platform to operate with a range
of industrial instruments and devices like sensors, readers, PLCs and
RTUs over various data protocols of RS232, RS422 and RS485. This
enables iTrack to provide a full product portfolio for exploiting the
business opportunities brought by the popular GPRS wireless data. |
| The advantages by implementing M2M are: |
- Better accessibility/availability
|
- Simpler documentation of availability
|
- Rationalisation of service and maintenance
|
- Possibility of remote diagnosis
|
In addition, the implementation of M2M offers other exciting
possibilities such as the use of M-commerce with vending machines and
the use of standard portable PC or PDA for remote control and reading
status.
