I came across a new (to me at least) M2M platform provider today called CenterSight®, based in Munich, Germany. CenterSight® offers an end-to-end solution offered in two basic parts: software platform and data modules.

Following is a list of application modules based on the CenterSight® platform. Individual modules are offered "as-is" or may customized to meet specific requirements.

• Device Manager
• Alarm Manager (E-Mail, SMS, Fax)
• Electronic Document Folder
• Live Direct Connection
• Remote Parametrization
• Visualization (Java, HTML, SCADA)
• Dial-In-/Dial-Out-Connections
• Message Center
• Command Interface
• Scheduler
• Reports and Analysis (HTML, PDF, CSV)
• Logger und Plotter for each Data Points

Data modules provide:

• Functions of a data module:

• Alarm detection and forwarding
• Parametrization and software update of machine
• Data transmission, e.g. via GSM/GPRS, SMS, Ethernet, ISDN
• Encryption
