We use Real Time Actionable Intelligence™ to give our customers an edge in the condition monitoring arena. Real Time Actionable Intelligence™ refers to our ability to combine local data acquisition with on-board data analytics to provide an enhanced condition monitoring for the industrial market.

By collecting, analyzing, storing and trending equipment data we create intelligence that can not only alert users to the need for immediate action, but also answer questions about future performance. In a field that currently has a shortage of experienced technicians, this allows for less people to accomplish more. This is the best of condition monitoring- averting problem in real time and preventing issues in the future while saving on manpower.

mCore®SDR is Monico’s Flagship Next Generation data acquisition platform for IIoT, remote monitoring, telematics applications, and edge analytics.

Designed for:

  • Industrial IoT connectivity (support for OMF and MQTT)
    • Acquire and integrate industrial asset data into OSIsoft® PI
    • Acquire and integrate industrial asset data into IIoT Solutions via MQTT
  • Industrial Cybersecurity
  • Data Buffering of OMF and MQTT
  • Rugged Package for harsh environments
  • Maximum Computing Power, Speed, and Efficiency

Provides:

  • Industrial Protocol Translation
  • Secure Edge Data Collection/Transmission
  • Increased confidence of data capture integrity
  • Edge Analytics Processing Power

The mCore®SDR User Interface is a suite of tools hosted on the device

It provides a way for end users to interact with the device:

  • Setup
    • Protocols
    • Firewall
    • Define Data Tags
    • Configure Web Server
    • Data Logs
  • View live data
  • Manage Password Access
  • Extract Data Logs
  • Manage System Functions

Access the User Interface from any computer with an ethernet connections to the mCore®SDR; no software installation required.

Please Note: Most mCore®SDR are delivered preconfigured so there isn’t much need to do any configurations but the capability is available

 

Key Points:

    • Including Caterpillar® Data Link (CDL) Protocol Support
    • Including S.A.E J1939 (CDL) Protocol Support
  • Support for data integration with Industrial IoT (via MQTT)
  • Simple Integration with existing OSIsoft® PI Data Infrastructure
    • PI Archive Data Tag Assignments taken care of for you
    • Creation of Asset Framework (AF) Elements
  • Onboard Data Buffering of OMF and MQTT data
  • Consistency of data across different pieces of similar equipment
  • Multiple input sources with one device - (2) CAN ports, (1) CDL, (2) Ethernet, (1) RS232, (1) RS485
  • Rugged Device (IP 66 and IP67 rated / Class I Div II certified)
  • Highly Secure (leverages SSL/TLS, data encryption and security certificates)

 

Benefits:

  • New source of information from industrial assets not currently being monitored
  • Minimal equipment needed
    • No need for multiple protocol convertors or rugged laptops for data collection
  • No programming or configuration required (preconfigured)
  • Data Buffering ensures reliable capture of data over inconsistent networks
    • Important for Analytics, AI, ML applications based on data
  • Production: Increased visibility of equipment productivity
  • Operations: Added visibility of operating parameters
    • Useful for Remote Condition Monitoring to improve:
      • Service/Maintenance, Reliability and Uptime
  • Ability to run analytics on Operations and Production data from connected asset

 

The best part, all of our mCore®SDR are shipped preconfigured

Meaning that there is very little setup required to get data flowing from your industrial assets. Monico provides the expertise and an extensive history of working knowledge to configure the gateway to the specific asset that it’s connected to and maps all the data tags. As close to "Plug and Play" as possible. Simply connect power to the mCore®SDR and a source of internet access and data will begin flowing.
