The key to IoT

The integration of sensors into the Internet of Things (IoT) is of great importance for many applications, for example, for the monitoring of machines. With remote machine parts that are not connected to the company network, the io-key from ifm electronic can be the ideal key to the IoT.

The io-key allows quick and easy transmission of sensor data directly to the cloud even without controller and connection to a network. It is possible to connect up to two sensors to the compact device via IO-Link. The measured values are then uploaded to the cloud via the mobile network and saved there. All you need besides the io-key are a power supply and sufficient GSM coverage.

The user can visualise and analyse the data transmitted to the cloud via a web-based dashboard. With a few more clicks different configurations can be set there. It is, for example, possible to automatically send notifications by e-mail or SMS when limit values are exceeded or not reached. A summarising representation of the measured values in the form of reports can also be generated. They can then be easily exported.

Whenever the measured values of the sensors are not needed in real-time and a direct connection is not easily possible transmission to the cloud via the io-key is the optimum solution. This allows monitoring of remote machine parts. Typical applications cover tank monitoring with KQ10 type level sensors, fan monitoring with VVB type vibration sensors, or valve monitoring with the MVQ valve sensor.
