IIoT platform for Unitronics PLC
Cloud for automation specialists
Spectra introduces UniCloud, a complete no-code IIoT platform for manufacturers and operators of devices, machines and vending machines.
The new online portal enables the visualization, storage and analysis of all process data processed at any location on Unitronics control systems.
The charm of this portal lies in the simple configuration of your own IIoT application, which requires no programming knowledge or expertise from cloud professionals. With a simple "click-and-select", you can create your own cloud application tailored to your specific needs and, for example, present, manage and process machines and their data online. Attractive dashboards are created by simply configuring ready-made objects such as graphs, tables, maps, etc. and display current, historical or aggregated data from one or more machines.
End-to-end (E2E) protection ensures end-to-end protection of data access, including the assignment of user roles with defined access rights. Other built-in protection mechanisms include encrypted REST APIs over TLS, MQTT X.509 authentication, anti-virus and web application firewall (WAF) rules.
All PLC models in the UniStream, Samba and Vision series can be connected to UniCloud. Both in new installations and in existing, running installations, without the need for program changes. UniCloud subscriptions are available in different packages, depending on the amount of data ("tags") and the update rate (10 s to 5 min). UniCloud is free for the first 3 months.
