"Our presence has been a success, not only for the exceptional number of visitors we have had, but for the awareness raised. The Industrial Shield’s proposition is innovative and needs events like this to publicize the great advantages that open source solutions can offer to the industrial market." With this positive assessment, Ramon Boncompte, sales director of Industrial Shields, summarizes the company's stay at Advanced Factories congress.
Apart from the entire catalog of products, four demos have been exhibited at the company's stand, where visitors have been able to see the solutions detailed below:
Monitoring of environmental parameters in real time. This application, working in the warehouse of a world's leading Spanish fashion company, monitors the staff’s working conditions.
Chemical products dosing by an MDuino 21+ PLC Arduino and a 7" Touchberry screen.
Automation of a stepper motor.
Smart light controller, with an MDuino 19R+ GPRS industrial PLC and a Touchberry 10.1" display. This system for public lighting management is currently implemented and in expansion phase in different areas of the Iberian peninsula, as a project for monitoring, optimization of lighting systems and improvement of electricity consumption.

"We have been visited by all kinds of people, from customers who already knew us and had used our products, to people pleasantly surprised to see that Arduino lets us make industrial applications such as our PLCs or Raspberry Panel PCs. In general, we have received a very positive response, although we still have a lot of work to do in order to convince companies that our open source solutions can be used in any application", said Ramon Boncompte.
For Industrial Shields, this has been the first fair of a year with two more congresses already scheduled: Hannover Messe 2020 (July 13-17) and IOT Solutions World Congress (October 27-29).
