Would you like to turn existing equipment into small IoT devices? What can be done? What is needed?

Many people may have questions like, "What can be done with IoT?" and "What is needed?" upon hearing the term IoT. Through digital communication, it is possible to obtain various information such as flow sensors, valves, circuit boards, and abnormal monitoring that were not accessible with traditional analog control. For example, by monitoring the valve opening, one can detect blockages in the equipment and identify leaks from cumulative flow. This information directly contributes to reducing downtime and improving quality through continuous long-term monitoring and knowledge-based management. Compatible models include those with digital communication via RS485, in addition to traditional analog controls like 0-5VDC and 4-20mA. (Older models such as the 58xxS, MfxxS series, SLA58xxS, and SLAMfxxS series). Even older models that do not support digital communication can be upgraded to the latest mass flow models, enabling digital communication. The dimensions between new and old models are the same, and no wiring changes are necessary. Additionally, we can provide control boxes for data collection from mass flow. This enables a "visualization" of small IoT without making large changes to the equipment.
