Looking for the Next Generation of Industrial Monitoring?
Monico’s mCore® SDR is Monico’s flagship product for industrial communications, protocol translation, and industrial data acquisition & capture, all in one intelligent device. With onboard analytics, flexible I/O, and seamless integration to the cloud or MonicoLive™, mCore® SDR gives you more visibility, control, and scalability than ever before.
How mCore Works with MonicoLive™
From the Edge to the Cloud: Real-Time Intelligence with MonicoLive™
Data is collected1 from critical assets (e.g., industrial engines) in the field using mCore®SDR and transmitted2 over ethernet-connected cellular, satellite or local area wired network connection to the MonicoLive Solution, hosted in the Microsoft® Azure Cloud, where the data is processed and stored3. End users can log into the MonicoLive™ Web Portal from any browser-enabled device anywhere in the world and interact with the data through dashboards and screen visualizations4 of the data.
A pivotal and often overlooked component to remote monitoring is knowing what data means and knowing what data to watch, analyze and set alerts and notifications for. An added value to MonicoLive is the incorporation of Monico’s experts in helping customers interpret5 the data and get the most out of MonicoLive by working with them to understand what their equipment is telling them by building and refining analytics, defining alerts & notifications6, and creating visual tools for understanding the data.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is industrial data acquisition?
Industrial data acquisition refers to the process of collecting and digitizing real-time data from industrial machinery or control systems. This includes measurements like temperature, pressure, vibration, flow rates, and equipment status for use in analytics, monitoring, and automation.
What types of equipment can Monico interface with?
Our systems support a wide range of industrial assets including generators, engines, compressors, pumps, and rotating equipment. We also integrate with control systems like PLCs and RTUs.
What makes Monico’s data acquisition system different from standard DAQ hardware?
Unlike basic DAQ devices, Monico’s systems are engineered for industrial use cases. We provide edge processing, multi-protocol support, OEM integration, and secure data transmission—all in one platform.
How does Monico’s data acquisition system work?
Monico’s mCore-enabled devices gather data from connected assets, convert protocols as needed, and securely transmit that data to SCADA, DCS, historians, or cloud platforms. We support both edge processing and centralized integration.
Can Monico systems integrate with the PI System or cloud services?
Yes. We offer direct data delivery to AVEVA PI System, as well as Azure IoT Hub, AWS IoT, and other cloud environments. We support multiple transport methods including MQTT, OPC UA, FTP, and HTTPS.
Is the data acquisition system secure?
Yes. Our devices feature secure communications, user-based authentication, and support encrypted protocols. We follow best practices in OT cybersecurity to keep your data safe from acquisition to delivery.
