Product Concept
The awCenter platform is an integrated platform for device access and management. It enables rapid device access and efficient life-cycle management, providing users with a one-stop IoT solution. The platform enables the access and integration of device data, supporting CRUD operations (Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete) on devices, as well as online debugging for interactions between user devices and applications. It provides an intuitive visual interface to display device status, device shadows, data uplink/downlink, and fault alerts in real time. It also allows IoT applications to modify device/sensor configurations, enabling flexible access of new devices and remote control capabilities.
The awCenter device application simulator platform supports device connectivity to IoT platforms through universal native communication protocols such as MQTT, OPCUA, HTTPS, etc. It also provides an open pan-protocol access framework, supporting the loading and management of third-party/customer-developed private protocol access drivers based on ACP and TCP, enabling access to private protocol devices.
