Deploying IoT applications fast and flexible

Through their cooperation, aicas and the Phoenix Contact Group are jointly reducing the barriers to Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) deployment. This is made possible by the addition of JamaicaAMS, aicas’ software for Phoenix Contact Programmable Logic Controllers in the PLCnext Store. JamaicaAMS enables flexibility, reduces the time required for the development and day-to-day management of embedded systems. The system ensures higher application availability and reduced lifecycle costs.

JamaicaAMS is a modular and extensible application framework, designed and tailored specifically for industrial IoT use cases. The turnkey solution enables the deployment of IoT applications, such as predictive maintenance or anomaly detection, using Phoenix Contact PLC hardware.

Developers using Phoenix Contact PLCs can write native Java-based code using the IoT framework. They can also access aicas’ EdgeSuite for advanced device and app management, such as adding more IoT devices or managing them in groups.

aicas EdgeSuites’ wide variety of functionalities – including software, lifecycle management, and intelligent data management. It enables comprehensive handling of IoT edge systems from no-code to full-code. Fast. Simple. Reliable.

JamaicaAMS as a turnkey solution is available for download at Phoenix Contact’s PLCnext Store.
