Opto 22 and M2M Data Corp Announce Technology Alliance

Opto 22 SNAP PAC Systems Interface with M2M Data Corp iSCADA® Service for Monitoring and Management of Utility, Energy, Water/Wastewater and Other Enterprise Equipment

Englewood, CO - December 15, 2023 - Opto 22, a developer and manufacturer of hardware and software for industrial automation, remote monitoring, data acquisition, and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications, and M2M Data Corporation, an Internet-based Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) leader, have developed a technology alliance to provide a complete hardware and service platform for customers seeking comprehensive monitoring and management of their fixed and mobile assets.

Under their new agreement, Opto 22 and M2M Data Corp will deliver remote monitoring and data acquisition solutions to customers by providing enhanced communication to remote, mobile, and fixed assets. This communication is enabled via connections from Opto 22 SNAP PACs to the M2M Data Corp iSCADA® web-based monitoring and data management portal. The resulting solution offers an alternative to proprietary SCADA and telemetry systems commonly used in several industrial sectors. It also reduces the cost of deploying asset management-type applications by relieving customers from having to source and assemble the required hardware, software, communications, and other components piece by piece.

"With our long history of providing interfaces to virtually any mechanical, electrical or electronic asset, Opto 22 has established an unequaled reputation in the M2M market as a preferred hardware provider and business partner," states Opto 22 Vice President Bob Sheffres. "We anticipate that our new alliance with M2M Data Corporation will help extend the use of our SNAP PAC systems into the this emerging market while giving customers the opportunity to design their applications knowing that they have an integrated and proven hardware, communications, and software solution in place."
