Managing assets

Netbiter 3 is designed to improve the management of fixed and moving assets 24/7 using cloud computing and the Internet. It has been launched by HMS Industrial Systems to meet a growing demand to monitor and control applications and equipment safely and securely.

Stuart Hannah, business development manager, says: "As it is web-based, it is viable for any number of local or remote devices from a single asset, such as a PLC or frequency inverter, to a complete plant or process. The inclusion of GPS means location-based asset management is also available." Netbiter comprises: secure online storage, gateway communication devices, and online monitoring tools.

HMS uses an online data centre, Netbiter Argos, which is backed up at two separate locations. Secure, remote access is through multi-level passwords from any Internet-enabled device.
