Machfu Announces Release of MACH-3 Industrial Internet of Things Platform and Gateway

Platform to Enable Easy and Seamless Connectivity of Legacy
Infrastructure to Cloud-Based IoT and Existing SCADA Systems

GERMANTOWN, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Machfu,
an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology company, announced
today the release of its MACH-3 IIoT Gateway, a device allowing
companies in energy, water, oil and gas as well as other industrial
segments to seamlessly connect legacy infrastructure to cloud based IoT
and existing SCADA systems. The product was designed to both simplify
the connection and management of devices as well as provide a secure and
easily customizable application framework to process and manage data at
the network edge. The versatile functionalities of the MACH-3 IIoT
Gateway will be demonstrated at the 2018 DistribuTECH show, January
22-25 in San Antonio, Texas.

“The MACH-3 IIoT Gateway allows companies to securely gather actionable
data from legacy infrastructure in an elegant and straightforward
manner, enabling them to make informed, strategic business decisions in
ways that would previously require enormous financial and time
investments,” said Prakash Chakravarthi, CEO, Machfu.

Deployment of this platform enables enterprises to easily access and
analyze data from diverse sources (i.e. sensors, controllers, smart
grids, etc.) via secure wireless and wired connectivity as well as
create and rapidly integrate “edge” and “emerging web-based” industrial
IoT applications to existing infrastructure.

The application framework is “sandboxed” providing enterprises much
needed flexibility in terms of adding/deleting APPs and drivers over the
life of their system—much like a smartphone—based on their specific
needs and/or requirements. Defense-in-depth security has also been built
into the platform and extends from the physical to application layers.

“The resulting IIoT solutions decrease time to action and connectivity
costs, while, simultaneously, minimizing disruption and risk to existing
automation systems,” added Chakravarthi.

There are many practical applications and benefits for the MACH-3 IIoT
Gateway in the energy industry. “Using Machfu’s industrial hardened
gateway, utilities can create and rapidly integrate next generation
distributed control systems,” said John Geiger, V.P. business
development, Machfu. “For example, the Gateway provides the ability for
any sensor to be transported as DNP3 objects to head-end SCADA
applications over both private and public networks. It also provides a
secure cellular overlay to existing private networks. The flexibility
and versatility of the platform is its greatest asset.”

Machfu will be demonstrating the product at DistribuTECH 2018 held
January 22-25 in San Antonio, TX (Booth 1862).
