Arrow, ADLINK, and Microsoft Unveil Rapid-Deployment Industrial IoT Solution to Minimize Production Downtime

Arrow Electronics has partnered with ADLINK and Microsoft to launch an Industrial IoT platform that empowers manufacturers to slash costly unplanned shutdowns through proactive machine condition monitoring.

Part of Arrow’s growing IoT aggregation program, the solution builds on ADLINK’s Edge IoT Solution for Machine Condition Monitoring, which combines edge hardware and real‑time data‑streaming software designed for vibration measurement and data acquisition. The result is continuous vibration monitoring for rotating machinery and equipment, enabling early detection of wear and potential failure.

The core of the offering is ADLINK’s ultra‑compact MCM‑100 edge device, which integrates data collection, vibration‑analysis algorithms, on‑device computation, and network connectivity. The all‑in‑one platform delivers preventative maintenance insights for machinery, tooling, plant equipment, and automation devices, while simplifying setup and configuration.

To streamline deployment, Arrow collaborated with Microsoft’s Azure IoT Central. This cloud‑based IoT app platform removes the complexity of managing, securing, and scaling solutions, allowing customers to launch the MCM‑100 without deep cloud expertise or infrastructure concerns. The result is faster time‑to‑value and tangible business impact.

By combining ADLINK’s hardware and Microsoft’s cloud software, Arrow offers a fully integrated, repeatable solution that meets industry demands for reliability, security, and rapid rollout.

Leveraging its extensive IoT provider network and in‑house experts, Arrow’s IoT program delivers end‑to‑end solutions tailored to each customer’s unique needs. Services include deployment support, ongoing maintenance, customer management, and consolidated billing for hardware and cloud services.
