Digi Delivers Industrial Connectivity to the Edge
Internet-of-things (IoT edge) capabilities and connectivity play an increasingly important role in virtually all industrial processes. Across multiple industries there are common application needs and similar use cases. For example, tank-monitoring applications are used in agriculture, the oil and gas industry, and in municipal water/wastewater systems.
Digi IoT edge solutions are flexible enough to meet the needs of all these applications, while fulfilling the unique requirements of each individual organization.

Digi IoT in Industrial Applications
Oil and Gas
Oil and gas companies can collect data from all parts of the value chain with the help of Digi technology. From upstream oil pumps and platform telematics, to midstream pipeline monitoring and metering, to tank farms and downstream point-of-sale (POS) systems, Digi IoT enables companies to capture and analyze field data from sensors and SCADA systems in near-real time.
Companies can use that data to optimize well, pipeline and facility performance while taking advantage of remote management capabilities to reduce the need for costly truck rolls and maintenance.
Electrical Utilities
Electrical utilities around the world use IoT tech­nology to drive more eicient energy use and better customer service.
Evolving technologies are driving the evolution of electrical “smart grids.” They enable utility companies to react quickly to spikes in demand, remediate outages and operate more eiciently overall. Smart grid systems are more resilient, cheaper to operate and better for the environment. Digi helps utilities to establish edge net­working methods to improve network grid eiciency while maintaining critical SLAs.
Construction
The construction industry deploys IoT solutions in a wide range of applications today, where cellular connectivity and embedded systems provide critical insights to support eiciencies, cost savings and workplace safety.
IoT solutions can monitor the performance of heavy machinery, track the location of materials and equipment, and conduct building site surveillance. IoT solutions even perform specialized tasks such as tracking sensor data to monitor the exact temperature of concrete during the curing process.
Water/ Wastewater
Municipalities everywhere face the challenge of keeping water supplies safe and abundant while making sure that wastewater is treated in strict compliance with environmental standards.
Digi provides solutions for both sides of the water use cycle. IoT systems monitor wells, reservoirs li stations, sewage treatment plants and other components of complex water and wastewater systems. Wireless connectivity from Digi also enables real-time alarm and flow data, so operators can address problems quickly, before they become critical.
Digital Signage
Digital signage, in addition to providing information in retail settings and public spaces, is now supporting a number of industrial use cases. These include traic advisories for road construction projects, as well as signage in city centers and subway terminals where environmental conditions can vary wildly.
Digi oers a range of purpose-built solutions for digital signage applications where wired connections are impractical, enabling users to update and modify displays remotely and provide secure, reliable connectivity for outdoor environments.
