Recently, Zongheng Intelligent Control (IOTRouter) has officially become an official hardware partner of ThingsBoard!
Leveraging our technical expertise in industrial IoT edge computing, this partnership has enabled seamless integration between the EG8200 edge computing gateway and ThingsBoard.
Users can now effortlessly collect data from industrial protocols such as Modbus, encapsulate it into JSON format, and report it via MQTT through intuitive drag-and-drop, no-code operations. This provides global users with a more efficient and user-friendly solution for industrial data access and management.
The value of integration with ThingsBoard
In industrial IoT projects, data collection, protocol conversion, and platform integration are often time-consuming and error-prone processes. After integrating EG8200 with ThingsBoard, all these tasks can be completed through a visual drag-and-drop interface, enabling:
Quick connectivity: Supports reading data from protocols such as Modbus RTU and encapsulating it into JSON format, then directly connecting to the ThingsBoard cloud or private deployment version via the MQTT protocol.
Zero-code deployment: Using Node-Red visual nodes, field engineers can complete configurations without programming experience.
Real-time visualization: After data is uploaded, dashboards can be quickly generated on ThingsBoard for real-time monitoring of key metrics.
This collaboration aims to “lower the entry barrier and accelerate project deployment.” The EG8200 series provided by IOTRouter serves as edge devices, forming an end-to-end connection from devices to the cloud with the ThingsBoard platform.
Both parties will jointly provide industrial customers seeking to quickly implement real-time telemetry, alarm rules, and visualization dashboards with standardized, reusable integration paths and operational guidelines.
