Dashboards and Monitoring

Control Automation Solutions has created dashboard and monitoring tools for many different applications. If you want to follow your process or asset live, a dashboard with monitoring is the way to go. With our tools and products, Control Automation Solutions can take any asset or production line and get the key performance indicators monitored for you. With our latest technologies, we are able to offer live visualisation, reporting, data centralisation, AI evaluation and analysis and data storage for any object which requires monitoring, even if there is an old or no PLC connected to it.

PLC connected monitoring

Monitoring and visualising data outside the HMI tools set is often not provided by any automation or control system. Creating a monitoring dashboard can be done by Control Automation Solutions based on the data that resides in the HMI or PLC. This data can be forwarded and saved in a database, and can then be made available in an online dashboard for anybody in the company to have a look at the asset’s monitored performance. The user can also create their own view on the data, or set alarming points if they require a more detailed view, or more detailed information.

Monitoring without PLC

Monitoring an asset without a PLC is where the Hummel Technologies IIOT Studio comes in. Control Automation Solutions is an IIOT Studio specialist and can install an IIOT Studio system onsite, complete with low cost sensors to monitor any performance indicator your require on a report or dashboard. The IIOT Studio system can also read data from a PLC which is not networked and still requires a serial connection to read data from it.

The IIOT system can read any PLC through serial or process control bus system, and make the PLC network capable to allow data to be read into the IIOT Studio redundant database. You can then report or dashboard this data, or even use IIOT Studio HMI to visualise and control the data from that PLC.
