Digi International’s Connect Sensor XRT-M Earns 2025 IoT Evolution Award for Rugged Edge AI Monitoring

Digi International announced that its Digi Connect Sensor XRT-M has been awarded the 2025 IoT Evolution Product of the Year by IoT Evolution World. The solution, paired with Digi Axess, is designed for remote monitoring in industrial IoT applications, supporting oil and gas, utilities, water, agriculture, mining, and other challenging environments.

The Digi Connect Sensor XRT-M features zero-infrastructure deployment with battery or solar power, eliminating the need for wired power or Ethernet. It supports analog, digital, and Modbus inputs for various industrial applications and uses intelligent edge processing to execute local decisions, such as triggering alerts and filtering data, to reduce bandwidth usage and site visits. The device employs LTE Cat-M and NB-IoT for global low-power connectivity and is housed in an IP66-rated enclosure for durability in harsh conditions. Integration with Digi Axess enables fleet-wide analytics, remote configuration, and over-the-air firmware updates. The solution also supports MQTT for compatibility with cloud services, SCADA systems, and Industry 4.0 ecosystems.
