PowTechnology were delighted to host a group of Underwoods Tech and Vertical Team for some MetronM and other product training, in the beautiful surroundings of The Belfry.
Hot on the heel of their Automation Next event last week, the Underwoods team were eager to learn more about our new MetronM multi-purpose Modbus IIoT gateway!
PowTechnology delivered a range of theoretical and practical sessions, explaining how MetronM acts as a master, using RS485 Modbus RTU to collect data from a broad range of slaves, including PLCs, meters, HMIs, smart sensors, drives and machines.
The sessions were delivered by Will Brown, IIoT Solutions Manager and Ashraf Royalpet, a medalist at WorldSkills UK Industry 4.0 competition 2025.
Together they demonstrated how this rich data collected by MetronM is transmitted via mobile phone networks to PowTechnology’s versatile MetronView platform, creating alerts and actionable insights to improve productivity, sustainability, compliance, safety and other key performance areas.
Data can be collected via a simple API for further processing in enterprise ERP and application-specific software for production, maintenance, purchasing and logistics planning. It was great to discuss so many potential applications … dozens of them … from canals to cranes, distilleries to distribution, brickworks to blenders!!
