Sierra Monitor Corporation, a provider of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions that connect and protect infrastructure assets, has announced that its FieldServer IIoT gateways are now ThingWorx Ready certified and available on PTC’s ThingWorx Marketplace.
PTC’s ThingWorx IoT platform offers a large set of pre-integrated IoT-specific development tools and capabilities, and is in use by hundreds of IoT solution builders, providers, and enterprises. These companies use the platform to develop, deploy, monitor, analyze, report on, and control solutions for a variety of industries including manufacturing, smart buildings, smart cities, and oil and gas.
“We are pleased to have Sierra Monitor join our partner ecosystem and complete the ThingWorx Ready certification,” said Kevin O’Brien, VP, IoT partner sales, PTC. “Solution builders can now leverage the combination of Sierra Monitor’s gateways and ThingWorx to easily integrate field devices, including those devices that use proprietary data exchange protocols and formats, into their applications.”
Solution providers and enterprises within the ThingWorx ecosystem can now use Sierra Monitor’s FieldServer IIoT gateways to connect field devices that speak standard protocols such as BACnet, LonWorks, Modbus, M-Bus, KNX and 140 other standard and device vendor-specific protocols.
“Some of the leading IIoT applications being developed and deployed today are being written on the ThingWorx platform,” said Varun Nagaraj, CEO, Sierra Monitor. “We are pleased to have developed and qualified new software on our gateway that connects to the ThingWorx platform along with configuration software that maps virtually any field device to the platform without the need for any programming. We believe that the solution providers and enterprises that rely on the ThingWorx platform will recognize that the Sierra Monitor IIoT gateway addresses all of their edge connectivity needs.”
The FieldServer IIoT gateway ships with a pre-integrated ThingWorx connector, along with an intuitive Web-based configurator that connects field devices and their data points to the ThingWorx platform without the need for any programming.
