Gear up commercial platform IoT development

Getting sensor, meter and PLC data to the commercial clouds / IoT platforms has required some tinkering with intermediate servers and conversions. There has not been a direct route from the sensor to a cloud database. There is now.
MS Azure and Amazon Web Services now receive sensor data through a single field device. This new launch of ionSign, the Gluon GMU491 Cloud Gateway, also supports edge computing and has redundancy to secure a constant data flow. Further, you're able to add your own applications or bespoke communication to the edge. Check this out.
