More than missing the point I was totally lost in translation okay just so we're on the same page. But I've got you now. For the benefit of others I'll just paste that translation.
"Can I ask you to put into Layman's terms what techno jargon is being said here. I simply don't understand what the poster is trying to say I just woke up. Thank you!"
Here’s what the poster is saying, in simple terms:
What Is This About?
The Metering Box is a device that can connect to different types of industrial machines made by big companies like Siemens, Schneider, and Rockwell Automation.
It collects information from these machines and sends it to a computer system, either locally or over the internet.
How Does It Work?
The Metering Box can talk to machines using several common communication methods (like MQTT, LoRaWAN, Modbus, OPC UA). Think of these as different "languages" that machines use to share data.
It can send and receive data using:
Wired networks (LAN)
Wireless networks (4G, 5G)
Special networks for smart devices (NB IoT)
What Can It Connect To?
Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200
Schneider TM221C16R
Rockwell Automation 2080-LC20-20QBBR
These are just different brands and models of industrial controllers—basically, the "brains" of factory machines.
What Happens to the Data?
The data from the machines can be sent to a platform (like thethings.io) where you can:
Manage users
Set up alerts
See dashboards and analytics (charts and reports about how your machines are doing)
Where Is the Data Stored?
You have two options:
1. On-Premise Installation
Everything is kept on your own company’s computers.
You have full control and maximum security.
Best for companies that need to keep everything private and secure.
2. Cloud Installation
Data is stored on the internet (“the cloud”).
Easier to access from anywhere, more flexible, and usually cheaper.
Data is encrypted (protected) and you can manage things remotely.
In Summary
The Metering Box is like a universal translator and messenger for factory machines.
It helps different brands of machines talk to each other and send their data safely to a place where you can monitor and analyze it.
You can choose to keep your data in-house for security, or use the cloud for convenience and lower costs.
