Sending Machine Data to the Cloud

Collecting machine data and sending it to the cloud is a key part of modern industrial automation. By connecting machines to IoT platforms, you can monitor performance, detect anomalies, and enable real-time analytics. FlowApps make this process simple by providing modules to subscribe to machine data, transform it, and forward it to cloud services.

Within the Crosser Control Center, we have a FlowApp that gathers simulated machine data from multiple tags using the OPC UA Subscriber module, sending updates whenever values change. The data is then aggregated with Array Join and Array To Object modules into a single message per second, converted to JSON, and forwarded to cloud platforms like AWS or Azure IoT.
