Congatec CoM to Cloud software

Branded ‘aReady.IOT’, and there is a matching central control dashboard to go with it.

“The aim is to simplify the use of modern embedded applications,” said the company, “The pre-configured building blocks enable communication with machines, systems, devices and sensors via protocols such as OPCUA, MQTT, and REST. Users can leverage them for data acquisition, remote monitoring, remote maintenance, remote management and predictive maintenance.”


It is available for the company’s SMARC, Qseven, Pico-ITX, COM Express and COM-HPC modules.


The package comes in three versions:

‘COM Manager’ communicates the module’s hardware information, and offers remote control of the module, software maintenance and the controlling dashboard.

‘Application Manager’ adds to these: remote management of carrier boards and peripheral devices, a rule engine framework to automate processes, and a notification engine for automatic status distribution.

The super-set option, ‘Fleet Manager’ adds mass-deployment of software, configurations and BIOS updates.

Separately ‘Cloud Connector’ is an interface to services such as AWS, Azure or Telekom Cloud.
