Connect every signal

Bridge legacy gear to modern monitoring.

Every protocol in. One platform out.

Prochista's data-acquisition devices speak the protocols your equipment already uses, and deliver every reading to one platform.

The problem

Six protocols, six dashboards.

Traditional monitoring leaves operators flipping between vendor portals, one for power, one for the BMS, one per site. Each device class speaks its own protocol, and none of them talk to each other.

  • Every vendor ships its own portal and its own protocol
  • No single, normalized picture across the estate
  • A dropped link means lost readings and blind spots

Six portals, no single picture

One acquisition layer

Every protocol in, one normalized stream out.

The device speaks each protocol natively, processes and buffers at the edge, then delivers a single encrypted stream to the platform.

Connect every signal

Built to bridge the gap.

Industrial protocols

Modbus, BACnet, SNMP and MQTT from one acquisition layer.

  • Modbus
  • BACnet
  • SNMP

Edge gateways

Local processing and buffering so data survives a link drop.

  • Edge compute
  • Buffering
  • Resilient

Secure backhaul

Encrypted transport, wired or cellular, to the monitoring platform.

  • TLS
  • 4G LTE
  • VPN

What it connects

One acquisition layer for the whole site.

From a single PLC to a mixed estate of legacy and modern equipment, acquired, normalized and forwarded.

Multi-protocol

Talk to PLCs, BMS, meters and sensors side by side.

Edge processing

Filter, scale and pre-process data before backhaul.

Local buffering

No data lost when connectivity drops.

Encrypted transport

TLS end to end, over ethernet or cellular.

Normalized output

Every source arrives in one consistent data model.

ProDCIM integration

Plug-and-play into Prochista monitoring.

Why it matters

From sensor to insight, without the silos.

Acquisition is where monitoring succeeds or fails. Get it right and every downstream view is trustworthy.

1. Connect

Wire the device to your equipment over its native protocol.

2. Acquire

Readings are polled, scaled and time-stamped at the edge.

3. Buffer

Data is held locally so a dropped link loses nothing.

4. Deliver

Normalized data is streamed securely to the platform.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What happens to my monitoring data if the network link drops?
Nothing is lost. Prochista data-acquisition devices buffer readings locally at the edge, so a dropped link loses no data, and the normalized stream resumes to ProDCIM once connectivity is restored.
Can one data-acquisition device talk to different types of equipment at the same time?
Yes. A single acquisition layer talks to PLCs, BMS, meters and sensors side by side, each over its native protocol, and delivers every reading as one normalized stream to the platform.
How is data transported from the device to the monitoring platform?
Over an encrypted backhaul: TLS end to end, running on wired ethernet or 4G LTE cellular, with VPN support. Whatever mix of protocols comes in, one secure, normalized stream goes out to ProDCIM.
What does the device do with readings before sending them?
It processes them at the edge: readings are polled, scaled, filtered and time-stamped locally before backhaul. That pre-processing means every source arrives at the platform in one consistent data model.
Can it collect data from equipment that has no built-in monitoring?
Yes. Prochista's data-acquisition hardware and protocol-bridging gateways can read data over the network from devices that were never designed to report it, so equipment that previously could not report its status becomes visible in ProDCIM.
Who makes the data-acquisition hardware?
Prochista does. It designs and builds its data-acquisition hardware, sensors and protocol-bridging gateways in-house, Designed & built in Canada and headquartered in Markham, Ontario. One team owns the full stack from sensor to dashboard, which is why the devices are plug-and-play with ProDCIM.
