Red Lion Controls, one of the global experts in communication, monitoring and control for industrial automation and networking, has announced embedded Crimson 3.1 support for Sparkplug, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure MQTT connectors. The added functionality — for use with CR3000 HMIs and rugged Graphite HMIs and Edge controller — allows customers who have chosen AWS, Inductive Automation’s Ignition SCADA, or Azure as their Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform to connect, monitor and manage critical operational data and make it available to enterprise-level systems with ease.

Machine OEMs considering Product as a Service (PaaS) business models or simply looking to add value to their products by gathering data to better maintain and service their equipment, will benefit from this enhancement as well. With point-and-click simplicity, Crimson 3.1 allows them to leverage the IIoT to analyse historic maintenance data across multiple locations. This, in turn, enables them to formulate preventive strategies, reduce costs of both warranty and routine service calls, increase uptime of assets and reduce maintenance costs by detecting symptoms of potential failures ahead of a downtime event.
