Cybus and UIB Collaborate for Secure Industrial Internet of Things Communications

Cybus’ secure IIoT technology and UIB’s intelligent IoT messaging platform make remote monitoring and predictive maintenance easier and more secure for industrial equipment manufacturers and operators

Mar 22, 2017

CeBIT, Hanover, Germany (22 March 2017) – Cybus and Unified Inbox Pte. Ltd. (UIB) today announced their collaboration of integrating UIB’s UnificationEngine™ intelligent Internet of Things (IoT) messaging platform with Cybus’ Connectware secure connectivity technology.

The partnership will allow easier and more secure machine to machine (M2M), human to machine (H2M), and machine to human (M2H) communications for manufacturers and operators of industrial equipment. This enables innovative industrial equipment manufacturers to provide their customers with data-driven, value-added services such as remote monitoring and predictive maintenance, making it secure and easy to acquire, provide, and use industrial data.

Cybus’ technology bridges the gap between manufacturing and logistics environments’ need for high security and the connected world of digital services. It acts as a translator between protocols and the management layer, which allows easy, precise, and controllable access by authorized data users.

UIB provides natural language communications (NLP) for IIoT machines and equipment. Operators can communicate with their machines through the communications channels they already use. The Connectware + UnificationEngine solution can be easily adapted and developed for machinery, vehicles, sensors, and their components across verticals including discrete and process manufacturing, power plants, and logistics.

“The combination of our technologies brings the benefits of industry 4.0 to manufacturers, making it secure and easy to acquire, provide, and use industrial data. Partnering with UIB means for us to move a huge step forward on our mission to bring the power of the internet to industrial settings. Together with UIB we now are able to offer manufacturers and operators to securely message their machines as easily as they message each other.”
Cybus Head of Marketing and PR Laurent Schueller

“Cybus’ secure middleware enables factory operators to optimize their production while retaining full control of their data. We designed UnificationEngine to enable these same factory operators to remotely set up, control, and receive critical alerts and notifications from their production machines in real-time. The Connectware + UE solution for IIoT enables manufacturers to reap the full benefits of industry 4.0, including remote monitoring and predictive maintenance on the communications channels they already use.”
UIB Chief Marketing Officer Ken Herron

"Both UIB’s and Cybus’ approaches bringing industry 4.0 to manufacturers and operators with legacy machines and equipment leads to a vast variety of new potential use-cases. We see immediate benefits for our existing clients with UnificationEngine, as well as for the wider market. This joint solution brings together our innovations in machine communications with UIB’s global leadership in secure, messaging-based H2M and M2H communications. We’re thrilled to have found such a fantastic platform as UnificationEngine to complement our technology.”
Cybus Head of Marketing and PR Laurent Schueller

“We share a mutual passion for how people engage and interact with their technology. All too often, technology today still gets in the way of workers’ productivity – despite multiple industry 4.0 efforts. And many SMEs still have legacy machines, and can’t afford to replace everything with new smart machines. We believe this partnership can play a critical role in securing a present and futureproof retrofit IIoT kit to better meet our customers’ dual needs for accessing their machines’ data and safeguarding their security. This is just the start, we are excited to continue to grow our partnership to explore further applications of Cybus’ smart networking solution for IIoT with UIB’s intelligent IoT messaging platform for industry 4.0 and smart enterprise.”
