Internet of things
Industry 4.0
- Industry 4.0 has been defined as “a name for the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies, including cyber-physical systems, the Internet of things, cloud computing and cognitive computing and creating the smart factory”.
- IoT is relevant to Industry 4.0 as the existing deployments (DCS/ SCADA) are not amiable for communicating directly to cloud or analytics. DCS/ SCADA are mostly for re-active decision making.
- Our IoT platforms will retro-fit into the same hardware space and bring data to the cloud while retaining existing infrastructure
Connectivity
Industry Interfaces
- Every industry requires automation for various process controls
- DCS/ SCADA brings data only to a display/ central office
- DCS data not amiable for cloud & analytics
- The various actuators and sensors have standard interfaces
Modbus
HART
4-20mA current loops
Serial Interfaces - Every industry requires a stitching of solution, however infrastructure interface remain similar
Approach
How we make it happen
- We have IoT modules for every standard industrial interface for retro-fit IoT extensibility
- Choice of different IoT protocols based on
- data-rate
- distance
- latency
- Get data directly on Cloud with easy thresholds to set alarm/ notifications
- Following highly accurate sensors are ready with us :
- Utility consumption like energy, water, gas
- Process measurements like temperature, pressure, humidity
- Digital/ WiFi enabled weighing scales which communicate directly with cloud
- BLE enabled Thermal Cameras with extended temperature ranges
- RTD sensors over extended temperature ranges
Sensors
Ready to use industrial sensors
Thermal Camera
- The DSPWorks Thermal Camera captures thermal images from -40*C to +300*C
- The device dumps the data in a highly sensitive 720 pixel array over Bluetooth enabling accurate temperature measurements without physical contact
- Applications – security, industry, food processing units
- Benefits – contactless with wide temperature range
Temperature and Humidity Sensors
- Industrial RTD sensors for highly accurate measurements where physical contact is required
- Change RTD interface for a wide operating range
- Ambient sensors for environmental temperature and humidity sensor
- Calibrated sensor from -40*C to +125*C
- Available over LoRa, BLE and WiFi
Flow Sensors
- The flow sensors are on Modbus or HART. Our IoT modules interface to these flow sensors on native interfaces and make it available on the cloud
- Additionally IoT platform has GPIO, PWM, ADC and DAC for sensor and actuator interface
Pressure Sensors
- Barometric pressure sensors with 0.002hPa accuracy
- Relative accuracy of 0.06hPa
- Pressure temperature sensitivity 0.5Pa/K
