Factory floors are often filled with reliable but aging machinery that speaks a different language than modern cloud platforms. This communication gap hinders digital transformation efforts, leaving valuable data stranded within isolated systems. A multi-protocol industrial IoT gateway from a skilled IIoT Gateway supplier  acts as the essential translator in this scenario. The BL110 is precisely this type of solution, a versatile protocol converter designed to bridge legacy field devices with cloud systems, unlocking operational data without requiring a complete equipment overhaul. This makes scaling IIoT networks both achievable and cost-effective.   Table of contents: Bridging legacy equipment with modern IoT platforms using adaptable industrial gateways Protocol conversion efficiency impacts on predictive maintenance and energy monitoring Configuring serial communication ports to optimize baud rate and device interoperability   Bridging legacy equipment with mod...
