HARTING Launches First Ever Industrial IoT Starter Kits

August 14, 2018

HARTING is making it easy to implement Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions with three HARTING MICA starter kits. Each of these new kits contains all of the necessary hardware and software for a basic application, removing the risk and guesswork for companies looking to embrace IIoT.

“Many people want to integrate IIoT, but they don’t know where to start or which applications would benefit their operations the most,” says Pat Hogan, Senior Product Manager for the MICA, the company’s Hermes Award-winning industrial edge gateway device. “That’s why we created these kits.  Everything you need to prototype a solution is in these kits, and the best part is that it takes less than 10 minutes to get a solution up and running.”

The HARTING MICA CISS Complete IIoT Starter Kit creates a basic condition-monitoring application. It comes with a sensor that can measure seven different parameters, including vibrations, acoustics, temperature, humidity and more. The sensor is connected to the HARTING MICA, the edge-computing device that processes, computes and visualizes all the data from the sensor.  The MICA comes with pre-installed software that includes an easy to use dashboard that shows all of the sensor readouts. 

The HARTING MICA RF-R300 Complete RFID Starter Kit contains everything needed for a basic RFID asset tracking application – industrial RFID tags, the HARTING MICA RF-R300 reader, two antennas and all cabling.  The MICA comes with a pre-installed demo version of HARTING’s certified Ha-VIS Middleware, which translates the raw RFID signals formats into modern software protocols.

Last but not least is the HARTING MICA Basic Ethernet Starter Kit. This is ideal for connecting peripheral devices through Ethernet using communications protocols such as Modbus-TCP or OPC UA.  The kit contains all of the cabling required to get started and a basic version of the MICA and software.  As with the other two starter kits, this one comes with Fast-Ethernet capabilities, eight digital GPIO ports, and the ability to be powered over PoE or 12V/24V.
