Paessler has enhanced its flagship solution, PRTG Network Monitor, with support for communications standards and capabilities within an industrial Internet of Things (IoT) environment.<\/p>\n
In the announcement<\/a>, Paessler explains that organisations need a holistic view not only of operations tech (OT) but of data pertaining to their traditional IT infrastructures – enabling enhanced insights into machine-to-machine (M2M) communications.<\/p>\n PRTG<\/a> can now monitor ‘factory floor’ data, through support for the industrial interoperability standard OPC Unified Architecture (UA)<\/a>, an ability to monitor the health status of Soffico Orchestra, and implementation of the MQTT<\/a> messaging protocol.<\/p>\n This includes MQTT Broker and MQTT Statistics, as well as sending out MQTT-based notifications.<\/p>\n Helmut Binder, CEO at Paessler, said<\/a> the move should assist its IT monitoring customer base to move towards industrial IoT.<\/p>\n “Roll-out of these new market-driven features in PRTG, tailored to industrial environments, marks the beginning of our journey to build a more comprehensive offering for the evolving monitoring needs of our customers,” Binder said.<\/p>\n Markus Mediger, product manager for IoT and industry at Paessler, said the PRTG solution is about achieving that ‘single view’ of IT and OT across an organisation.<\/p>\n “This is an increasingly important tool for IT teams but also for industrial engineers — allowing them to check the overall status of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), industrial computers (IPCs), and other controllers on the factory floor,” Mediger said.<\/p>\n Not only has Paessler joined the OPC consortium<\/a> on open connectivity for industrial automation devices and systems, but it teamed up with players such as smart-machinery gateway maker INSYS icom and integration engine vendor Orchestra. <\/p>\n Paessler is seeking other partners to help it extend its industrial IoT ecosystem, according to the announcement.<\/a><\/p>\n Expanding opportunities in IIoT<\/strong><\/p>\n The industrial IoT market has been predicted to almost double to $110.6 billion a year by 2025, according to analysis from Markets And Markets<\/a>.<\/p>\n
