Abstract
A system for monitoring physical assets in a monitored environment. The system includes monitoring devices attached to monitored assets, and configured to collect monitoring data from the monitored assets, a first access point, configured to receive the collected monitoring data from the monitoring devices and to process the collected monitoring data, an Internet of Things (IoT) link established between each of the monitoring devices and the access point, and an IoT communication protocol overlay that enables synchronized uplinks from the monitoring devices to the first access point via the IoT links. The IoT communication protocol overlay governs transmissions of monitoring data by the monitoring devices to the access point. The system further includes a hub/cloud platform configured to receive the processed monitoring data from the first access point, perform data analytics on the processed monitoring data; and provide a user interface that enables a user to monitor the physical assets.
