Gateway

TB-G01. One gateway for every TrackBeat sensor on the site. Every sensor on the floor reports to it. It keeps a local dashboard and a local UI on the wall, and it opens one outbound TLS connection. Diagnosis stays in the cloud.

Gateway, a Digi XBee Hive gateway: a low white industrial unit with USB, SIM, microSD, serial, Ethernet and DC power along the front edge.

One gateway, many sensors

Every sensor in the family reports to the same gateway. A typical plant uses one to three receivers, placed at scoping, not one per machine.

The floor keeps its screens

The local dashboard and local UI run on the device. When the wide-area link drops, the wall display stays up.

Nothing to open inbound

Sensors arrive over sub-GHz. The receiver publishes outbound over MQTT with TLS, over Wi-Fi, Ethernet or LTE. The plant firewall does not gain an inbound rule.

What it does, and what it refuses to do

A relay. The diagnosis stays in the cloud.

  1. Collect Sub-GHz from the sensors. The link reaches across the plant without new cable or access points.
  2. Show it locally Dashboard and local UI on the receiver, so a walk-up on the floor does not depend on the cloud.
  3. Publish outbound MQTT with TLS. The product API the platform uses is HTTPS.
  4. Leave the diagnosis upstairs The receiver is a relay. It does not name the fault. The cloud does.
