/by

Secure, fully integrated, end-to-end solution takes the Industrial Internet of Things far beyond the hype stage.

Mississauga, Ontario, January 19, 2016 – Skkynet Cloud Systems, Inc. (“Skkynet” or “the Company”) (OTCQB:SKKY), a global leader in real-time cloud information systems, will demonstrate its end-to-end Industrial IoT solution—including the SkkyHub™ service, DataHub® industrial middleware, and Embedded Toolkit—at the Nineteenth Annual ARC Industry Forum, “Industry in Transition: Navigating the New Age of Innovation” in Orlando, Florida, February 8-11, 2016, hosted by the Arc Advisory Group.

According to ARC Industry Forum organizers, concepts such as Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Smart Manufacturing, Industrie 4.0, Digitization, and Connected Enterprise are “clearly moving past the hype stage to the point where real solutions are emerging backed by strong associated business cases.”

“Skkynet will demonstrate a secure, hands-on, end-to-end Industrial IoT solution that works right out of the box,” said Paul Thomas, President of Skkynet. “Now anyone can safely send data from their remote device to our SkkyHub service, and view their data in a web browser. Or they can securely connect an industrial system via our Cogent DataHub, and do remote monitoring and supervisory control from anywhere in the world.”

Skkynet’s SkkyHub service allows industrial and embedded systems to securely network live data in real time from any location. It enables bidirectional supervisory control, integration and sharing of data with multiple users, and real-time access to selected data sets in a web browser. The service is capable of handling over 50,000 data changes per second per client, at speeds of just microseconds over Internet latency. Secure by design, it requires no VPN, no open firewall ports, no special programming, and no additional hardware.

With Skkynet’s Embedded Toolkit, SkkyHub can connect to remote devices through gateways from Red Lion, Advantech B+B SmartWorx, NetComm, or SysLINK, or directly to Renesas Synergy embedded chips. Linked to Skkynet’s DataHub industrial middleware, SkkyHub can securely connect to virtually any industrial system using standard protocols such as OPC, Modbus, TCP, and ODBC.

“While some companies are just now waking up to the potential of the Industrial IoT, Skkynet and its subsidiaries have been active in the field of secure, real-time industrial data communications for over a decade,” said Mr. Thomas. “Our products and services are working in hundreds of mission-critical systems worldwide.”

ThunderCloud Alliance Aims at World Market

Small and medium-sized companies cooperate in Industrial IoT and M2M venture

ThunderCloud Alliance (関西積乱雲プロジェクト) was launched on 2013 December to showcase each company’s products and the technologies for cloud computing and the IoT (Internet of Things).

Cogent Real-Time Systems is one of the key companies for the ThunderCloud Alliance, offering real-time data connectivity middleware to communicate between devices (M2M) and remote monitoring, along with six other companies in the Kansai area. There are a total of nine companies are participating in the ThounderCloud alliance project at present.

Each company is contributing from its own specialized field. TOA Musendenki Co., Ltd is in charge of communication and various sensor devices. BellChild Co., Ltd is responsible for cloud servers. Kobata Gauge Manufacturing provides various sensors. Haneron Corporation offers remote monitoring equipment. NiC is responsible for industrial networks. Nissin Systems Co., Ltd. is in charge of control systems and embedded software. Puerto Co., Ltd develops industrial protocols, and provides expertise in OPC UA. Japan Direx Corporation does real-time network intelligence analysis.

All members get together regularly each month to exchange information and share each companys’ technologies, new ideas, and market trends. They collaborate to develop, innovate, and test new systems.

Recently they have been working together to develop a system which collects information from various sensors and sends their data to the cloud by highly secure wired and wireless transmission technology.

“This organization welcomes any company that wants to collaborate on new technology. Each company can bring in their own special skills or knowledge with no pressure.” Mr. Kobata, President of Kobata Gauge Manufacturing, emphasizes.

“Specifically, we have been focusing our development on communication between various sensors and gateway devices, simultaneous data transmission, and highly secure systems,” said Mr. Fujita, President of BellChild. “As a result, we completed a secure micro cloud system named ‘iBRESS’ on June 15, 2015 which leverages IoT technology.”

“Currently, iBRESS is installed in the monitoring systems of small hydroelectric power generators using agricultural water, and it is also used by freshwater plants on remote islands,” he said. “We are beginning to see good results, and it has been getting a good reviews from users.”

“This project’s success demonstrates that when small and medium-sized enterprises collaborate together it enhances the security of cloud systems for remote monitoring,” said Mr. Emi, President of TOA Musendenki. “Now a number of major companies are paying attention to this secure technology for cloud-based remote monitoring products. In addition, ThunderCloud Alliance members are motivated to develop next-generation systems in the future.”

“We would also like to cooperate with sales departments among the participating companies to be able to aim at even the global market,” said Mr. Kobata, expressing his enthusiasm for the potential applications of the technology.

We will continue to monitor the activities of the ThunderCloud Alliance on an ongoing basis, and look forward to seeing this kind of collaborative movement among different companies in other areas and regions.

(“Skkynet” or “the Company”) (OTCQB:SKKY), a global leader in real-time cloud information systems, reports that its Cogent DataHub® real-time middleware and WebView™ web-based HMI will be used in exhibits by members of the ThunderCloud Alliance (関西積乱雲プロジェクト) to demonstrate automation solutions at SCF 2015 on December 2-4, 2015 in Tokyo, Japan. Hardware and software demonstrations by Alliance members at booth S4-23 in West Hall 3 will show a variety of real-time data access and supervisory control applications powered by DataHub and WebView technology.

SCF is Japan’s largest industrial control event, showcasing cutting edge technologies in manufacturing and automation. The theme of this year’s show, “The 4th Industrial Revolution?Getting Connected,” considers the impact of globalization and economics on manufacturing and the movement towards transforming industrial production into a service, through the benefit of IT and the Internet of Things (IoT). The show’s organizers have established an Open Network Zone in which the latest hardware, technology, and services will be displayed.

“The exhibits by members of the ThunderCloud Alliance showcase the broad range of Skkynet’s end-to-end solutions for the Industrial IoT,” said Paul Thomas, President of Skkynet. “Real-time data from industrial equipment, embedded boards and other devices running at the members’ stations will be fed to live WebView displays, using either a Cogent DataHub running locally on their systems or BellChild’s iBRESS Secure Micro Cloud that provides DataHub connectivity as a secure, cloud-based service.”

The ThunderCloud Alliance was formed by Skkynet in December 2013 to provide a turn-key, real-time sensor-to-cloud service for the industrial M2M (Machine to Machine) market. Working in close association with TOA Musendenki, Nissin Systems, BellChild, NiC, KOBATA Gauge, Puerto Co., and Direx, Skkynet’s role is to furnish the real-time data connectivity technology necessary to make cloud-based M2M communication and the Industrial IoT a reality.
