Portenta C33 can be at the heart of industrial IoT gateways, connecting devices, machines and sensors to collect operation data in real time, and display them on a custom Arduino IoT Cloud dashboard with end-to-end secure data encryption. For example, data on overall equipment efficiency (OEE) and overall process effectiveness (OPE) can be tracked, monitored and processed; or smart systems can detect anomalies, alert operators about unplanned downtimes, or provide the information for predictive maintenance that ultimately improves production rates. Thanks to full compatibility, Portenta C33 can also be easily paired with Nicla modules’ smart sensors, to carry out quality assurance controls right on the production line, catching any defects as early as possible.
