Brainboxes helps customers to add IoT capability to existing systems
Luke Walsh from Brainboxes has assembled an application that impressively demonstrates how easy it is to collect the inputs and outputs from existing devices used within an industrial application and make them available to a wider network. In his demonstration he shows, together with Greig Cameron from DesignSpark how data provided from standard industrial devices, coming from different suppliers can be combined.
The demo also highlights the options users have with Brainboxes software APIs that allows remote control and monitoring of the IOs via a laptop or a mobile. In addition the bespoke article covers the importance of using modern communication protocols and how they support system security, real-time communication and authentication.
Read the full story on DesignSpark which does also include a video that explains the whole approach in an easy and visual way.
For those who want to replicate the application they have also published the parts list and "how-to" assembling guide.
