Common problems with IoT infrastructures

In systems with many IoT devices, it can be difficult to carry out maintenance and avoid device downtime.

Devices are often installed in places that are hard to access physically, such as in wind turbines, factory pollution monitoring systems, and outdoor digital signage applications, so they cannot be repaired or updated on the spot.

According to Gartner, as much as 80% of IT costs are incurred after the initial purchase, with downtime and maintenance ranking as the biggest source of expenditures.ASUS IoT Cloud Console is designed to help mitigate these concerns.
