What real-time information do you need from the factory floor or from the field to help you improve operations, reduce waste, eliminate production delays, confirm product quality, assess employee performance and/or reduce supply chain risk? What if you could capture that information automatically, eliminating human intervention and, thus, human error. Fusing IoT into your daily operations does not have to be a large engineering project. With Sensors-as-a-Service℠, you can bridge OT (Operational Technology), IT (Information Technology) and ET (Engineering Technology) including Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, for a fixed price and with a single vendor, Ectron Corporation. Moreover, our design services are free, so if we can’t design a solution that fits your requirements, it costs you nothing.

Sensors-as-a-Service℠ is compatible with over 32,000 industrial-grade sensors from over a dozen manufacturers worldwide allowing you to monitor almost any KPI imaginable. Moreover, the data can be viewed on customized dashboards, or streamed to your ERP system or other business intelligence software.

Ectron has hundreds of available off-the-shelf solutions, all of which are customizable. Moreover, if you tell us what problem you are trying to solve or the type data you’d like to see, our engineers can design a solution that works for you.

EDGE COMPUTERS & IoT KITS

More data means more data-driven decisions contributing to operating efficiencies. Every business collects on-premises data. The question is – Are you collecting it accurately, efficiently and frequently? Whether you need to track machine performance, production compliance, product quality, personnel performance, environmental conditions, customer behavior or any other countless KPIs, the best collection mechanism is technology, as it eliminates human error, allows for uninterrupted collection of data and makes that data immediately available to everyone whose job performance can benefit from access to the information.

Until now, implementing a complete on-premises data collection solution required embarking on an expensive engineering project. Engineers were required to select the appropriate sensors, select the appropriate networking hardware including cabling, write code, sign up for a data streaming service and hope that it all comes together. However, with Ectron’s Edge Computing and IoT Kits and Sensors as a Service™ , you now have the option of a No-Code, plug-and-play solution to collect, translate and deliver useful on-premises data including use of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to analyze the data and send alerts and/or trigger on-premises action using anomaly detection.

All components of our Kits are configured to work together prior to shipping. Moreover, we have experts on-hand to assist you in choosing the best solution for your desired outcomes, as well as customizing our off-the-shelf solutions to fit your needs.
