Overview

IoT gateways for sensor integration serve as the critical bridge between field-based displacement sensors and centralized monitoring or control systems. These gateways translate sensor outputs, aggregate data, and ensure secure transmission over wired or wireless networks. This webpage explores how such gateways power scalable, connected infrastructure monitoring setups used by B2B companies across North America—supporting dashboards, edge analytics, and remote access. Displacement Deformation offers expertly configured IoT gateway solutions that enhance connectivity, simplify deployment, and uphold data integrity. Backed by stringent quality standards from our Queens, NY base, our gateways integrate seamlessly into SCADA, cloud platforms, and asset management systems—empowering businesses to streamline data workflows, improve decision-making, and maintain structural health through intelligent digital infrastructure.

Core Components

Hardware Components

Features Ethernet, cellular, LoRa, Wi-Fi, USB, and serial ports with edge processing.

Adapters for analog/displacement sensors, converting signals to digital before transmission.

Reads RFID tags attached to sensors and assets to log deployment, calibration, and maintenance events.

Software & Firmware

  • GAO EdgeLogic Runtime

Runs on the gateway for local data normalization, threshold alerts, and sensor validation.

  • GAO Gateway Manager App

Enables remote firmware upgrades, configuration of sensor profiles, and diagnostic health checks.

  • GAO Cloud Sync Service

Pushes validated data to cloud dashboards or SCADA endpoints with retry logic and secure transport.

Data Flow & Integration Design

  • Sensor-to-Gateway

Displacement sensors connect to the interface module; readings are converted and sent to the gateway.

  • Local Processing

The gateway performs edge analytics—threshold checks, timestamping, formatting.

  • Cloud or SCADA Publishing

Data is encrypted and transmitted to SCADA/cloud platforms via MQTT/REST/Modbus.

  • Asset Tracking

RFID reader logs sensor ID and calibration info in every data packet for centralized asset management.

Key Features and Functionalities

  • Multi-Protocol Support: Handles Modbus, MQTT, BACnet, OPC UA, and REST API to support diverse displacement sensors and control systems.
  • Edge Computing Capability: Performs preliminary data validation, formatting, filtering, and alarm logic locally to reduce latency and bandwidth use.
  • Modular Connectivity: Equipped with Ethernet, cellular (4G/5G), LoRa, Wi-Fi, and serial interfaces for flexible network integration.

Case Studies

1. United States – Smart Bridge Network, Washington State

Displacement Deformation deployed GAO IoT gateways at multiple bridge joints. Edge processing reduced data noise and delivered clean, timestamped data to a centralized SCADA portal.

Wireless displacement instruments feeding into GAO LoRa-enabled IoT gateways provided real-time deformation alerts. The system offered continuous visibility without running cables across hazardous terrain.

Installed gateways captured displacement, temperature, and water level data across dam structure. RFID-tagged sensors enabled efficient tracking and periodic calibration checks via the gateway dashboard.
