MINELERT WIFI FOR IIoT SYSTEMS

Are you also, like so many others, experiencing the expectation where WiFi connectivity will resolve several business challenges? Surely it is the solution to gather your IIoT production and industrial device data, yet you are captured in the Shared Services bureaucracy?

Existing IT partnership agreements to standardize on a single brand of equipment is proving expensive and difficult to maintain. Although we agree with this business model for service delivery, we also support the idea of complimenting the existing technology environment with compatible technologies when costs are a matter to consider. Especially in today’s commodity slumping mining environment.

Your information technology department will say things like “but then we need to train more people to support this technology” and “the technology is not meeting our superior standards” or “this technology is not compatible”. Anything to move away from explaining themselves. We do not agree with these statements. The Minelert Smartlink technology is a world-class system and seamlessly integrate with your existing environments. The SNMP protocol also allows your existing maintenance team or network operating center pre-defined performance data for monitoring. To train people is quickly done because the system looks after itself and different SLAs are customized according to specific requirements.

The Minelert WiFi Solution mix consist of three primary products, all of which is designed to deploy quickly and easily without any need for cool technical resources. The intuitive UI and is extremely user-friendly meaning you can quickly address your problem areas in your operation yourself. You need to understand the cost implication of extending your current network using alternative, better performing technologies and built your own motivation to convince IT to deliver a solution that meets your budget approval.

The Minelert WiFi solution consist of three primary products i.e.

• Smartlink Dual Access Point – a robust industrialized WiFi router, din rail mounted, that quickly extends your industrial network coverage in any applications. Units can be meshed to reach hard to install areas to reduce fiber costs.
• Smartlink Outdoor Access Point – is a standalone unit and easily add coverage to any network without the complicated setting up of software and drivers
• Smartlink Vehicle Client – magnetic mounting and easily connects your machines or equipment directly to your WiFi network via a UTP plug in to remove performance data automatically.
