IoT Connectivity With Ready-to-Use Software Blocks

What if your devices could connect and communicate without extra effort? Discover how ready-to-use software is making IoT work with less complexity.

Congatec has expanded the capabilities of aReady.COM with aReady.IOT, introducing software building blocks for secure IoT connectivity from Computer-on-Module (COM) to the cloud. This simplifies the use of embedded applications and speeds up innovation. With aReady.IOT, users can focus on their core tasks while the company handles application complexity, ensuring communication and data transfer across systems and devices. The software building blocks are preconfigured and ready to use.

These building blocks support communication with machines, systems, devices, and sensors using protocols like OPCUA, MQTT, and REST. They enable data acquisition, remote monitoring, maintenance (including Overall Equipment Efficiency), and predictive maintenance. Users can also process data at the edge for storage and visualization, allowing deployment of automated processes like data analysis, software updates, or event-driven actions. OEMs can use aReady.IOT to create service-based business models, improve customer support, and generate revenue streams. This ready-to-use solution requires no extra expertise, helping customers reduce development time, accelerate time-to-market, and keep up with market demands.

Andreas Bergbauer, Manager of Solution Management at Congatec, explains: “With aReady.IOT, we are driving the next level of value for our aReady.COM customers. The advanced application integration we enable with aReady.IOT is unmatched. For OEMs and their customers, connectivity becomes a seamless and integral part of their applications. They gain the benefits of homogeneous and convenient operation, a secure connection, and significant cost savings – without needing any additional devices or software.”

“With our new aReady.IOT offering combined with Computer-on-Modules, OEMs can unlock new, future-ready business models. Recurring revenues, such as those from service contracts or Everything-as-a-Service, are becoming increasingly important. To create these sustainable revenue streams, it’s critical to have detailed usage data, simple, secure, and cost-effective maintenance, as well as long-lasting products. Our aReady.COM and aReady.IOT product portfolio, with secure IoT connectivity and easy upgrades across technology generations, provides the perfect basis for this,” explains Daniel Jürgens, CFO of the congatec group.
