Stop Guessing. Start Knowing.
Edge Intelligence Built for Harsh, Remote Realities
If you can’t see what your remote machines are doing, you can’t improve them.
Whether you manage off-highway vehicles, industrial generators, agricultural machinery, or mobile infrastructure, you’re likely battling:
- Unplanned downtime with no early warnings
- Mobile assets spread across wide geographies, making it hard to gather real-time data
- Connectivity gaps and protocol mismatches between systems and sensors
- Underutilised data that could improve performance, safety, or fuel efficiency
- Security concerns around opening up remote access or device updates
Owasys solves these exact problems — with a suite of Linux-based, rugged IoT gateways designed to sit at the edge of your industrial operation, gather data, run logic, and keep you connected — securely and continuously.
What Is Owasys?
Owasys, part of HMS Networks, is a leading provider of open-platform wireless gateways designed for machine builders, OEMs, and industrial automation providers. These devices serve as the “nervous system” of mobile or remote machines, gathering data from sensors, processing it locally, and securely transmitting it to the cloud or control centers — even in the harshest field environments.
Key Challenges Owasys Helps Solve
Lack of Remote Visibility
With real-time telemetry via LTE, Wi-Fi, GPS, and CANbus, Owasys lets you monitor every machine – engine hours, fault codes, location, fuel use – from anywhere in the world.
Missed Maintenance Opportunities
Owasys enables condition-based maintenance and predictive analytics. Reduce downtime and field service costs by acting on early warnings and real-time alerts.
Protocol Chaos in Industrial Environments
Easily convert and communicate across protocols – Modbus, CAN, RS-485, MQTT, OPC UA – without expensive middleware.
Security Risks in Remote Connectivity
Features like Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, VPN support, and certificate-based authentication protect your machines and your data.
Complex Development and Integration
Open Linux platform with full developer freedom (Python, C, Java, Docker), prebuilt for use with AWS, Azure, and other cloud services.
