JACKSON, Miss., Jan. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- LEC, leaders in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) enablement, today announces major upgrades to iQ2™, adding significant key features and functionality to the already award-winning IIoT platform.
iQ2, initially released in late 2017, is LEC's next-generation, end-to-end IIoT platform solution that's designed from an industrial automation engineering perspective to address individual needs and enable cutting-edge IIoT platform technology on the plant floor, for OEMs and for remote industrial assets. The just-released iQ2 upgrades include automated reporting, on demand exporting and reporting of tag history, and active map markers.
"These new upgrades to LEC's revolutionary iQ2 platform provide additional value to users with the enhanced ability to further customize and control the secure collection of plant floor and remote asset data from anywhere, anytime," said LEC's Vice President of IIoT Strategy Brian Rosema. "It all comes down to design. iQ2 is not proprietary to specific hardware, it quickly and easily integrates with existing industrial automation and control systems, allows flexibility in integration, and requires low Non-Reoccurring Engineering (NRE) and ongoing costs."
The iQ2 upgrades exceed all automation needs with additions such as contemporary, mobile-responsive widgets, extended alarm capabilities, and improved navigation options.
