5. Device Groups

5.1 Features Introduction

The device group function is designed to manage and classify a large number of on-site devices in a centralized manner.

Devices can be grouped based on actual project requirements such as device installation area, device type, and functional purpose. The device group function supports a multi-level tree structure, enabling a hierarchical management of device groups from general to specific.

This function establishes a consistent data foundation for subsequent operations such as device onboarding, data collection, and remote management, thereby improving the efficiency and standardization of device management on the platform.
