The gateway with the longest feature list can still be the hardest to connect. Choose by the path your data must follow: field device, gateway, platform, operator. List devices and protocols before you compare products. netwizards.ae/blog/industria… #IIoT #EdgeComputing

A satellite link can drop too. Agree in advance what your team does when tracking data arrives late or not at all. Who checks? Who decides? Do not plan as if the data never stops. #AssetTracking #RemoteMonitoring

Before you buy satellite trackers, answer three questions: 1. Which assets, and where do they work? 2. Who needs the data? 3. What happens when something looks wrong? The device comes after that. Our buying guide: netwizards.ae/blog/satellite… #AssetTracking #IIoT

No answer from a Modbus RTU device? Check in this order: 1. Device address 2. Serial settings 3. Wiring 4. Gateway setup Then check the termination at the end of the serial line, where it is needed. Test one layer at a time. #Modbus #OT

Your SCADA connects to the Modbus gateway, but the value is wrong? A good connection does not prove you read the right register. Check the device address, the serial settings and the register map first. Step-by-step guide: netwizards.ae/blog/modbus-tc… #Modbus #SCADA

Buy ready-made IoT hardware when it already fits your site. Go custom when it does not: very high heat, or old Modbus and M-Bus equipment. How to work out the cost and the return: netwizards.ae/blog/industria… #IndustrialIoT

Good features do not make a cellular router safe for a hazardous area. The certificates for that exact model must match the hazard classification of your site. Our 10-step checklist: netwizards.ae/blog/hazardous… #HazardousArea #IIoT

Before you add any device to a SCADA network, write down three things: 1. Which device reads each value 2. Which system can send commands 3. What happens when the connection is lost Problems start when one of these is missing. #SCADA #OT

Edge controller or RTU? Newer does not always mean better. Use an RTU to read and control far-away sites. Use an edge controller when data must be processed next to the machine. Often you need both. netwizards.ae/blog/industria… #SCADA #IIoT
