Radix IoT has announced the release of its Mango 5 solution, designed for large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) multi-site deployments, and for monitoring scalability. The Mango 5, according to the company, is intended to streamline installation and deployment activities, while allowing systems integrators, contractors and end users to scale and unify tens of thousands of mission-critical locations into a single ecosystem for remote monitoring and management.
“Radix IoT’s Mango 5 is the future of effortless scalability for global commercial portfolio asset monitoring,” said Michael Skurla, Radix IoT’s chief product officer, in a prepared statement. “Without compromising flexibility, enterprises can now scale remote management and triage in half the time legacy monitoring solutions require. No other comparable product in today’s market offers this level of intuitive monitoring scalability and stability for critical facilities’ owners and operators.” Large-scale IoT systems can now be scaled up via Mango 5’s automated workflow features, which include the following:
The Portfolio Manager Configuration Tool allows instant setup and views of globally distributed property portfolio, as well as access to site-level metrics and device-level data, without a need for dashboards or complex tagging structures. Integrators and end users can access KPI overviews and site-level historical graphs and maps with a drag-and-drop interface. They can create information tabs personalized to roles and needs, as well as make changes instantaneously without touching a line of code.
Pi-Link expands on the TCP Publisher by enabling events operations at the edge and in the cloud using gRPC. Scheduled events and logging at the edge can be accomplished without connectivity to the cloud, and can be re-synchronized with the cloud once the system is reconnected. This resilience level, critical in environments with unstable or highly constrained cloud connectivity (such as over cellular, LoRaWAN and satellite), increases edge-to-cloud security with mTLS certificates, the company explains. The Mango 5 administration panel allows connection authentication with integrated setup and management, while the TCP Publisher is backward-compatible.
The Pi-Mesh database, designed for storing and querying IoT data at scale, is optimized for time-based data critical to most distributed SCADA and BMS solutions. Whether Mango runs at the edge or in the cloud, the company notes, it can handle tens of millions of data points in real time and with historical context. Compatible with Pi-Link, its rapid, small-size data and events transfer between locations reduces traffic while assuring constancy during outages.
Pi-Flow, a reimagined Mango UI, accommodates intuitive workflow for commissioning and setup by integrators, contractors and end users. The redesign allows systems deployments to scale and change instantly, whether users are onboarding 100 or two million points of data, across one to tens of thousands of locations.
Finally, CSV Toolbox provides new tools to streamline and automate. In addition to the JSON store, Mango 5 supports tooling for CSV importing and exporting from devices, tags and events. This enables automated, at-scale operations with conversant tools to which contractors and enterprise customers are already accustomed.
Mango 5 is designed to boost all Mango 4 features, the company reports, including alarming, event management, full HTML (desktop and mobile) compliance, and native cloud capability (or cloud of choice) scaling to tens of thousands of sites. Moreover, the system features simple device integration across more than 40 protocols, without vendor lock.
