Your PLCs, sensors, and meters speak Modbus. Your cloud platforms — AWS IoT, ThingsBoard, Ignition SCADA — speak MQTT. Getting them to talk to each other shouldn't require a team of software engineers.
Solution
The BL101 is a purpose-built industrial IoT gateway that converts Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP to MQTT. It's powered by an ARM 300 MHz processor running a stable Linux OS, with 128 MB RAM and 64 MB flash storage. Plug it in, configure it, and your legacy devices are suddenly cloud-native.

System integrators are deploying BL101 gateways across smart factories, energy management systems, remote equipment monitoring, building automation, and even agricultural operations. In one bakery case study, the gateway enabled real-time Modbus data collection from ovens and mixers, cutting energy consumption by 10-30%.
The BL101 turns your Modbus devices into IoT assets - without ripping out your existing infrastructure. It's secure, reliable, and priced to scale.
