With mbed Cloud, users can achieve flexible coverage across a vast range of ARM IoT client devices, efficiently manage them, establish trusted security, easily update software on devices in the field, and equip IT and DevOps teams for unparalleled productivity. Advantech integrated ARM Cortex®-M based technology with silicon to develop sensor nodes with built-in ARM mbed OS for enabling mbed Cloud services with Advantech WISE-PaaS IoT Software Platform, ensuring easy integration with existing systems.
“Advantech’s wide coverage wireless connectivity solution is
empowered by ARM’s reliable processor technology,” said Miller Chang,
Vice President, Advantech Embedded-IoT Group. “With benefits such as low
power usage, various wireless transmitting module selections and mbed
Cloud services, this combination is perfect for most IoT scenarios.”
“Device-to-cloud
security and management are the ultimate enablers for IoT applications
to scale, especially for enterprises seeking acceleration to market,”
said Dipesh Patel, president, IoT Services Group, ARM. “Integration of
certified and ready-to-use solutions built with ARM mbed OS and mbed
Cloud services through WISE-PaaS Marketplace will speed the onboarding
and management of IoT nodes for businesses.”
Customers can subscribe to mbed Cloud services via WISE-PaaS Marketplace with a few simple clicks to easily deploy, furthermore, WISE-PaaS Marketplace provides IoT Security, PaaS solutions, and pre-configured packages, all of which help construct an IoT ecosystem that fulfills customer needs. Customers can choose a standard suite for creating unique solutions, or combine standard and purpose-built packages to enable IoT edge intelligence and customize an IoT solution according to their specific requirements and usage conditions.
By selecting certified IoT gateways – WISE-3610 (LoRa gateway) and WISE-3620 (Wi-Fi gateway) – customers can utilize the mbed OS with WISE-1510 (LoRa) and WISE-1520 (Wi-Fi) nodes designed to fit different RF transmission requirements and environments: LoRa for long range sensor reporting, and Wi-Fi for short range communication with high throughput. IoT sensor nodes transmit data seamlessly to the mbed Cloud.

The Era of the Internet of Things has seen a proliferation of inexpensive cheaper sensors, transducers, and data transmission vehicles.This, accompanied with enhanced security technologies, has made customers in various vertical markets more willing to allow their data to stream over the network for IoT applications. Equipment manufacturers, faced with such market trends, are considering how to leverage new technologies to seize the newly burgeoning business opportunities.
Our customer in this case is one of Asia’s most active elevator/escalator suppliers, who has installed over 3,500 elevators/escalators in Taiwan alone, not to mention their growing business base in mainland China and other Asian countries. Imagine the complicated management and huge resources involved in their repair and maintenance works.
With new technologies available, they were seeking a new management system that could help remotely monitor and control their installed elevators/escalators, and therefore develop a more proactive and intelligent maintenance model that streamlined their workflow with improved efficiency and economy. They wanted to replace their traditional, regular itinerary of on-site inspections and failure-reactive model.
Leveraging the solution provided by Advantech, our customer successfully developed a proactive elevator/escalator maintenance system that collects real time operation data from the elevators/escalators, automatically halting the operation of elevators orescalators where monitored parameters reach dangerous thresholds, and alerting the company for needed repairs or componentrenewals. After a 4 to 5 month development period, the system is ready for rolling out, about one and a half years earlier than if they had done it on their own without the help of the Advantech solution.
After deploying sensors including motor temperature and vibration on each elevator/escalator, the customer needed to install an IoT gateway near the elevator/escalator control system to collect data from sensors via wireless or wired transmission and convert the data (either digital or analog with different formats) into a unified IoT protocol data format and upload the data over the Internet to the remote backend server at the elevator company. If the gateway were provided with sufficient computing power and intelligent capabilities, it would be able to preprocess data, implementing certain monitoring control tasks and uploading only significant data to the backend server. This would help reduce server loading and save tremendously on communication expenses. An intelligentserver with adequate computing power was recommended for this gateway deployed at the edge of the network.
For this application, Advantech provided EIS-D150 for device monitoring and data manageability, which is equipped with the Intel®Core™ i5 processing power needed to support large-volume I/O applications. The Advantech EIS series comprises solution-ready platforms preconfigured with the software resources needed for IoT connectivity, data manageability, and cloud services. The EIS solution includes many of Advantech’s powerful software tools, including WISE-PaaS/RMM, an open-standard IoT device remote monitoring and management platform. The WISE-PaaS/RMM can be interlinked withAdvantech’s SCADA software, WebAccess/SCADA, which provides high volume I/O support for large-scale sensor data collection andI/O controls, as well as intuitive graphical user interfaces for supervisory management.
The WebAccess/SCADA is a powerful platform for easy data acquisition and integration, providing over 200 drivers for connecting with sensors and equipment using different industrial communication protocols. For example, the customer in this case uses OPCUA industrial standard for its injection devices; with WebAccess/SCADA, the user can connect the injection devices to the monitoring control system without needing to do protocol conversion. With WebAccess/SCADA, a single EIS-D150 is able to connect with and control over 5,000 I/O points, delivering great systemextendibility and compatibility for system expansion in the future. WebAccess/HMI software can be used to visualize data and flow.
The hot runner monitoring system continuously checks whether all tasks are being completed to spec as required, and if not, it makesautomatic adjustments according to environmental and operational parameters. This requires edge intelligence computing andlogic flow control. Also contained in the Advantech solution package is Node-RED, a powerful logic-flow editing tool with an intuitivegraphical interface, which helps greatly to visualize the process.
Meanwhile, the Advantech EIS solution also has WISE-Agent built-in. WISE-Agent contains a conversion tool for transforming data into MQTT, IoT-standard language, for upload to a backend server or to the cloud. A Microsoft Azure package is also pre-configured hereto provide optional access to big data analysis or other cloud services.

I really have tried googling and searching, but I cannot find a good guide or template to do this in node-red. Does anyone have any examples or links to share ?

For instance, the MQTT
protocol’s bidirectional cloud connectivity means that in addition to
being able to acquire data, customers can also deploy commands remotely.
This allows simple logics to set up for the local evaluation of
collected data. Thus, it is considerably more efficient for data
processing, and its value is especially notable for saving time and
handling throughput-sensitive cases. It is feasible to execute
algorithms for AI and predictive maintenance on both the edge and the
cloud. WISE-PaaS/EdgeSense is designed to aid our partners and customers
in increasing their overall operational efficiency and realizing IoT
value. For more information about WISE-PaaS, please contact your
